Personal History
LUKE JACOBS
My name is Luke and Motorcross has become my passion!!! I just turned 8 years old this summer and I LOVE to ride. My parents bought me my first bike when I turned 3 years old and I just can't get enough!!
Currently I am living in Ojai Ca, attending the 2st grade and riding 2-3 days a week.
I started racing on a Honda 50, then went to a KTM 50 SX but after World Minis this last April, we decided to go for it and bought two brand new 2012 Cobra!
This year I asked my parents if I could train to compete nationally and go to Loretta's. They said yes - which is why we switched to Cobras. I have given up all other sports to focus on my love of motocross. My parents and sister, support me so nicely! I am grateful.
I am training with John Merada from XLT Racing at Comp Edge, Racetown USA, Zaca Station, Glen Helen and Milestone in Southern California. My training schedule is to ride Wednesdays locally - I take a half day of school, then each weekend or every other weekend I train for 3 days, or train & race depending on my race schedule. He has also trained some of my favorite riders Allessi and Trey and I get to hang out with some of the best riders in the world on the weekends...
My number is 2, Dad says its so the guy behind doesn't forget what place he's gonna come in!!
