Personal History
My name is Kaden Marple, I am 17 years old and I have grown up in a small town riding trails with my dad and brother and slowly progressed into the race I am today. I am surrounded by a good family always there to support me in the toughest of times. Racing motocross is my main focus and goal. I also ride mountain bike for training and extra time on two wheels.
Riding Goals
Riding has brought me freedom like no other, I have been able to meet amazing people and get to learn a bunch of new things. I race for the joy and smile it brings on my face everytime I swing my leg over the seat. I am very competitive and charging to the front is always my goal. I learn from the guys that are faster than me and I push myself to compete with the best in the world. This year (2024) my plan is to go to Loretta Lynn's and show the speed I have. I also would like to go to AZ OPEN and put results in there. Next year I would love to find a way to get out to spring nationals and of course Loretta Lynn's national. I want to show my speed and capabilities when I counts!
Competitive Highlights
Last year (2023) I achieved a dream of mine to go to Loretta Lynn's. With nothing to prepare me for the conditions in the East I was not ready at all. I came with my head up and I put my best foot forward. Although my results (top 25 in the 450 and 250 B limited classes) didn't show what I had, I had decent speed. Running top 15 lap times made me feel good but it definitely does not cut it. There is room for lots of improvement and this year I have made steps in the right direction to compete against the best. I'm still working and always working to be a better rider on and off the track. Respect for other riders and all the people at the track I what I stand behind. Respect is number one!
