Personal History
In 2013 I purchased a 2008 wr250x. Seen a local flyer for the Forward Motion Harescramble Series Championship. Installed some knobby tires a few armour upgrades and took off for my first race ever. Enjoyed it so much that in 2014 I decided my wr wouldn't be competitive enough, sold the wr and purchased my first true dirtbike, 2010 yz250f. With my new ride I did my best to keep it upright through the rough rocky terrain at Collins. Finished 10th with a suspension that decided to stiffen way up on my first lap. Second race was Walters ranch, were I decided to ghost ride my bike up a rock hill and twist my ankle in the process. Came back from my wreck with a 12th place finish. My third race of 2014, big springs, I got a very bad start, bike wouldn't start the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd kick. By the time I did get it started I was in last place and eating a lot of dust. I worked my way up to 11th place by my 2nd lap. The 3rd lap would end my racing for the year. I spotted a group of riders not to far ahead of me. I pushed the bike harder hoping I could make up a few more positions. As I was rounding a slight bend, my front tire hit a rock. I stuck my foot down to prevent the crash. While I prevented the crash I also unintentionally got my foot stuck and twisted my knee. I didn't know the extent of the damage until I pulled over for a faster rider and couldn't support my weight on that leg. I'd find out later that I tore my acl in my left knee and would end my riding season for the rest of 2014.
Riding Goals
Coming off of surgery from last year. My goal for this season is to make as many races as possible, placing my sponsors and name as a contender in any class Im in around Kansas and Missouri. Displaying my sponsors design on my trailer and bike. Being currently I'm in the 900 class I'm planning on moving back up to the sportsman class ,800, mid season and finishing the season in the 600 class.
Competitive Highlights
The thorn in the side is out for the Big Springs Race. This was the race that ended my racing series last year when I decided that I needed a break ,Ha ,and tore my acl. Coming from a mid pack start I mange to pick my way to another 4th place finish. Still on the look out for a podium but felt really good putting in the work in this race even after It had been postponed a week and was looking to be canceled from the storms that were coming in.
