Personal History
My 7 year old son, Rhett, decided he wanted to try riding dirt bikes last year. I bought him a cheap two stroke to see how he would take to it. After a month, I realized he had a natural ability for Dirtbikes and it was his true passion. We moved into a Gas Gas MC50 and got him on the track last summer and he is hooked. We decided to build him his own personal track on our farm and we are excited to see what the future holds for him.
Riding Goals
I told Rhett how I used to ride when I was a kid and he always had an interest in racing. Since before he could walk he was always my "dare devil" so I figured it was only a matter of time before he was ripping around a track on a 2 stroke. This year was his first race season and he did exceptionally well for his first season. Rhett asked me before the season, "will everyone come cheer for me like they do at my brother's baseball games?". I told him everyone will be there cheering him on which means everything to him.
This coming year his goals are "to win the BIG trophy at the end of season".
Competitive Highlights
Rhett's first race was a little intimidating at but after 2-3 weekends he was finishing in the top 5. He is still learning but I am truly amazed at how quickly he is picking up motocross.
