Personal History
Almost 10 years, began riding in the summer of 2016 on a Kawasaki KX 65. I learned to ride and race from my cousin and joined my club, OCMC. I started late so only raced 5 races, but finished 4th overall in points. That year I started ice racing on the same bike and finished overall 5th in points. In my spare time I like to practice riding. My family likes to hike, and camp, which we do a lot, especially when travelling. I started snowboarding 2 years ago, and find it one of my favorite winter activities. I like school but I really enjoy my summer off doing mountain biking and bmx riding and fishing. I have just started an Instagram account with my parents help, for promoting my sponsors and following my idols like Travis Pastrana and Ryan Williams. My Instagram account is @deyell56.
Riding Goals
This year, I moved up 2 riding classes and compete with kids older than me. I started a new track on an 85 cc bike. This year I hope to finish in the top 10 in points. I am learning a lot from racing against kids with more experience than me, which is fun. I finish about middle of the pack regularly this year which is sometimes better than winning.
Competitive Highlights
My very first race, I won both heats. though only racing 5 races my first year, I finished 4th overall in points.
My second year, I finished second in points, but was in first place most of the season.
My ice racing has taught me a lot of skills, like cornering and bike control.
I tried Cross Country racing and different endurance races.
