Personal History
My Name is Mark Angelo. I’m 10 years old from NJ currently in 5th grade. I have a mom, dad, sister and two dogs. We are getting ready to start traveling to races as a family and visit many different tracks. I have been riding dirt bikes and quads since I was 3 years old but just recently started to ride the track with my trainer Aaron Lampi. I enjoy spending time with my family and playing football for my town. I have been getting more serious about motorcross as I have found that I love riding on the track compared to the woods that I have been riding in. I enjoy practicing my wheelies and hole shots and improving my jumps. I also enjoy deep fishing and love to go with my dad when we have free time on our boat.
Riding Goals
I ride because I love the thrill it gives me and the lessons I learn. My parents always support and push me a little harder every time so I can ride out of my comfort zone and improve. Riding reminds me to not let my fear control my life and sometimes you just have to go for things even if they might make you nervous. I’m working really hard on mastering the hole shot, ruts and pushing myself further. My goal is to make it to Loretta next year so I will use all my free time after academics to continue improving in speed and control of my bike. Ultimately I would love to be a professional rider when im older. Riding reminds to keep working, keep improving and keep pushing myself and one day it will all pay off and I’ll achieve my dreams of being a great rider.
