Personal History
Well my name is Matt Schaffer! Race number is 323! I was born in Ontario Oregon but raised in Fruitland Idaho. I was brought up around motorcycles, go karts and dune buggys. So racing and wanting to go as fast as i possibly can is just who i am. A big part of it was my dad pushing me to do get better and racing along side of me to make me go faster. I rode just for fun alot and didnt get seriously into racing till 2007. i went and bought a brand new 2007 cr 250f.And Now ride a 2008 ktm 250 sxf. Since then ive come a long way, in my eyes i train the hardest out of any racers i have seen. I ride just about everyday and race every race that there is.I race alot of motocross and do a few desert races. Alot of my friends are pro racers David kamo on jr usa trophy team and factory ktm, so riding with them pushes me to go faster. I race the junior class and have high hopes of becoming pro and i know with my work ethic and hard training that it will come true.
