Personal History
Hello, my name is Mason Lee Nitz. You can follow me on instagram @mason_nitz161. I was born and raised in Michigan. I’m currently living in Millington, Michigan, but I have also lived with my family in Silt, Colorado and Kauai, Hawaii. I am 17 years old and in the 11th grade. I started riding motorcycles at age 3. My first bike was a 2004 Yamaha PW50 with training wheels. I rode that for 2 years and graduated up to a 2003 KTM 50 Pro Senior. Upon returning from Hawaii, I started riding a Honda CRF80F. I practiced and learned on the Honda for about 2 1/2 years and then I started riding a 2009 KTM 85 XC. After about a year on my new bike, I started racing in AMA District 14 motocross in the summer of 2018. AMA rider #2272161. We bought a 2019 KTM 85 and that was my main bike until I moved up to the 125 class. We purchased a 2021 KTM 125 & a 2022 KTM 125. I have trained with a local pro riders
Mr. Lucas Lowe & Joey Crown, as well as at CLUB MX in South Carolina. I am currently racing a 2024 KTM 250 SX-F. I’m trying hard to further my career in the sport as far as it will take me. I’m very thankful for family and sponsors who help me along the way. I give GOD ALL THE GLORY for giving me the ability and the opportunity to ride.
