Personal History
my everyday life - i am a joiner/carpenter i am currently in my 3rd year of apprenticeship, i earn my money in the week and spend pretty much all of it on my bike to keep me going.
my riding -
- ambitous
- competitive
- love to push the limits
want to be able to ride to the best of my ability but i need help to be able to compete and remain fresh and competitive every week.
i started out racing on the sand flats when i was 13, on my first ever bike ( a 1996 kx 100, pocket rocket!!!). funding for myself meant i had to drop out for a year or two. when i came back at 16 i decided to try my hand at motox. my first few races were not that great but by the end of the year i was ranking just outside of the top ten riders (out of 34). i was forced out of competing for another half year after this due to blowing up my cr 125 2004 and not having the funds to repair it. i ended up getting an extra job to save hard to get a new bike. luckily my close friend had just got a 250 four stroke so his 2007 cr 125 was for sale, my friends dad said i could buy it off him and pay him each week to cover the cost because he knew how much i wante to ride. after getting back on the bike i hit the practice tracks hard for the rest of the year and over the winter. I have friends riding in the top half of the senior class and i am lapping as fast if not faster than them, so i am planning on hitting the racing hard this year!!!
Riding Goals
i am hoping to progress from the junior class quickly with podium finishes and move into the seniors, and make a big push for the experts!
i believe i have it in me to do this!
Competitive Highlights
- when i first started racing on the sand flats i achieved podium finish of 3rd on my second ever race, just a few races later i was battling for first place but lost it due to crashing out. i was off the bike for a while due to bruising my back :(!
- my first season of motocross i managed an inside the top ten finish of 8th around halfway through the year.
