Personal History
HI I'm Kyle and this is who i am! I've been riding since i was 5 and racing since i was 11. I started out on a 3 wheeler at 5 and upgraded to my families honda xl75 haha! After that we purchased an xr100 which i spent countless hours jumping a wooden ramp my dad made for me! Then we bought my first race bike!!! A 1993 CR80! Built a track in our back pasture and so my racing career takes off! Entered a few races on the CR80 to get the feel of it! Christmas 2000 BAM a 2001 KX85! Won the 85Sr championship at Hawkeye downs in Cedar rapids that following year! Did a lot of racing at Waterloo, IA, Cedar Rapids, IA Warren, IL Mount Carroll' IL. Bought a 99 YZ125 when i was 15 and i made the switch to big bikes!! Raced B and finished always top 5! 2003 comes around Xmas present a brandnew 04 CRF250R! Continued racing hard until 2006
November 2006 enlisted in the Marine Corps! Didnt get back riding until Jan 08 because i was busy with initial trainings! Bought a bike in Jan 07! A 2006 YZ125 just to get me back into it! Started riding couldnt believe the stamina i had on a bike! Can fill the tank up and run it dry riding as hard as i can! Decided it was time to buy a new bike! Purchased a 2008 CRF250R last month! Plan on racing and riding as much as possible this summer! Moving up to Pro/A class!
Riding Goals
Keep my motivation level high! Compete as much as i can the Marines keeps me busy but i sure will be riding every time i get time off! This year i really just want to put it laps! Get everything dialed in and try to do my best with the big boys in A/Pro.
Competitive Highlights
Hawkeye Downs 2001 85 Sr. Points champion. But i think my biggest goal is getting back on a bike after enlisting and loving it even more! Riding harder and faster than before! At a whole new level of physical fitness.
