Personal History
hi my name is Kevin and my surname is Mason ,im 21 years old ,ive had my ups and downs these past few years and i have been pushing to be a pro motocross racer , i want to be one of the best in the world ,in 2006 i started racing 125 and after a few months broke my leg and had to racover , then got back into it all end of the year racing for 2007 in clubs and smaller race events and then i moved up ton my yammaha 250cc this is where my racing career got kickstarted in 2008 i started racing regional championships from here out of 40 riders in the championship and i finished 9th overall in one division under pro. after a while of riding this bike a mechanic tried to modify it an then it just kept breaking we did not have the funds to keep fixing so it got sold and i wated the year 2009 to get my new bike , i had approached honda and they helped me out with a 2009 motocross bike a crf250r i had won a few races. honda then took back the bike in 2010 i got my 2010 crf250r and racing started off good i was laying 3rd in regionals and had won my club races leading the club championship and then a week before the next regional i was out training an then i had a crash went over the bars and i dislocated my shoulder and had concussion which meant i was out for a while. During my recovery i sent my bike to a mechanic and then we went there to fetch my bike and it was not there and he had said my bike got stolen we had a fall out. we then did not have funds to get me a new bike so a friend helped me with lending his bike fir the time being.
one morning i got a phone call from 94.7 radio station where somebody had phoned in about my unfortunate event and they helped sponsor me a new bike through a company called cosira group, we got a yz 250 2nd hand and i was the happiest kid alive.i started riding again a few months later through 2011 but my bike felt as though it did not run straight so we sent it to an engineering company and they said that it was the swingarm bent out so i stopped riding it and traded it in at the end of 2011 and i got my 2011 crf250r and i have been winning and leading the mx2B regional championship,and now ive moved up to the pro class racing against the best in SouthAfrica, my first race went well i was up in the begining and then i fell back a few places to about 9th and for the day i finised 9th the next race is coming up soon and im going in it to win.
i stay with my mom Brigitte,my brother Matthew and my Aunt Desrie . My dads name is William,my parents got divorced the year 2010 that i had my bad crash and my bike got stolen , it was hard on everyone but its life and i moved on pushin to be the best in my sport.i have a girlfriend who supports me in my riding and she helps me all the way and so does my friend who also rides and races with me his name is Wian.
