Personal History
My name is Max and I am 11 years old and a fifth grader at Flower Mound Elementary. I make pretty good grades - mostly B's. a couple of A's. My best subject is Math but my favorite is Science. I have an older brother that is a senior at Marcus High School.
Everyone in my family likes to ride dirt bikes, but my dad and I REALLY like to ride and we go to the track as much as we can. I started riding when I was 4 years old on a 4 wheeler, but have liked anything with wheels since I was old enough to push a truck around! In 2007, at Christmas, I got a brand new dirt bike - a Honda CRF150R. That is what lit my fire to race. My favorite thing to do is go to the track. My dad and I go to TMX in Westlake Texas as much as we can. I like to beat my dad!
When I can't go to the track, I like to play strategy games on my XBOX and my computer. When I get my friends together, we like to have airsoft wars or make stupid videos for YouTube. Hey - it's fun!
As far as riding goes, I started racing in 2008. I ran my first series in the TMX Adrenaline Series and got first place in the 7-11 85cc Beginner and second place in the Open Division. That was a really big deal for me since it was my first series and it was at my home track.
I also really like to race at Burleson Motocross. I really like that track. It is a challenge for me because I only get to ride there when I race.
To me, the best thing about riding dirt bikes is the rush I get from being elbow to elbow with my competitors in a race. It is not all about racing to me, though. Riding is to have fun and have a good time.
Riding Goals
In 2009, I am going to enter AMA sanctioned races. I also plan to enter my second series soon, which is the Boondoxxx MX Blue Moon Spring Series that starts in March. I have a 12 year old friend that has been in AMA races. He has done alot of fun things - I want to do the same. That includes arena cross racing and races outside of my area. Of course, for me to do these things means that I would need some extra support from sponsors!
So that I can accomplish my goals above, I have another goal which is to gain sponsorship. I really want to try new things on my bike and try different gear. I know that small changes can make big differences -- I want to have the opportunity to try things and to tell other riders about them.
Of course, I am pretty competitive, so it goes without saying that I plan to win as much as I can. Racing is fun..winning is even more fun!
