Personal History
I'm an 18 year old amateur motocross racer. I have just finished my A levels and am studying motorsports engineering at sheffield university. I used to play football until the age of 16 but stopped so that I could ride more at weekends. I am a very competitive and focused person and I hate to lose!
Riding Goals
I started riding when I was three and started competitively when I was about 13. I have steadily progressed and have started riding more in the last two years. I am improving well at the minute and intend to do so for the next few years until I am in the top tier of my local amateur racing group. I have had a few top three finishes but am looking to get some wins in the upcoming season. I intend on training through the winter and practicing on local sand tracks to keep up my bike fitness ready for the new season in march!
Competitive Highlights
My best highlights have been in the season just gone where I got three top three finishes. I have also lead races but haven't won due to lack of fitness, rider errors or bike failures! In the 2008 season I set the fastest lap in nearly all the championship rounds but poor starts and lack of patience cost me some good results and I finished 7th when I should have easily got a top three finish.
