Personal History
My name is Keith Ford from Olympia, Washington. I've been behind the bars of a dirt bike since the age of 3 and racing since the age of 5 and couldn't ask for a better sport to love. I work as a graphic designer for Fusion Graphix where we specialize in making custom graphics for motocross. I'm a huge music lover and believe that without music the world would be a dull place. I believe in the lord very much and can't thank him enough for giving me the skills he has to be able to ride a bike the way I do.
Riding Goals
This upcoming season I would like to be injury free for once! For the past 3 years it seems that I have had the worst luck with the dumbest injuries, but the 2009 outdoor season was very good for me this year and I didn't have any complications. I would like to be in the top 5 at all the events I attend this year, and take home the N.W. Arenacross championship in the 450 pro class, and +25 Pro class. After arenacross season me and a few other privateers from the pacific Northwest are going to venture down to California and rent rooms from our friends house in order to train and get prepared for the 2010 AMA motocross nationals.
Competitive Highlights
2004 CMC Northwest Arenacross series 250 Pro champion. With consistent results and determination I took home the 12 race title, as well as winning 1500.00 in the pro purse race at the Puyallup PRO-AM for 1st in the 250 pro and 2nd in the 125 pro. In 2006 I was preparing for the outdoor nationals and training at a local track when my summer and season were cut short after a crash that left me with 6 broken bones 3 of which were in my back, but after surgeries and strength I was back on the bike in 6 months.
