Personal History
I'm a fifteen year old kid from Issaquah and I've been riding for about ten years now. If your familiar with the Issaquah area you'll know that there is almost nowhere to ride around here but I'm one of the luckier ones. I've grown up on a thirty acre ranch in the heart of Issaquah. Well what else would we do with thirty acres other than BUILD A MOTOCROSS TRACK! Well I didn't build it originally, but my dad and cousins did. My cousins are about ten years older than me and they've grown up riding dirtbikes also. That's how i got into it so early. My first bike was a ttr 90. I tore it up with that little thing. Next, i had a ttr 125. Awesome bike but not for what I wanted to do. I was always more into hitting huge tables and throwing nac nacs over some triples so I had to step up from the little trail bike. I moved onto my cousins old kx 80 that we bored out to a 105 so the thing ripped. It was perfect for going big and it was so light that it was really easy to throw around in the air. I still have that bike and have fun screwing around on it every once in a while, but I have a new baby. I bought myself a 2004 KXF250 about two years ago and as the bikes get bigger, obviously the jumps have to get bigger. My track in my back yard has progressed more and more and now the biggest jump we have on it is a huge 85 foot table. Motocross has been my love since the first time I ever saw my cousins going huge on that same track that I've now adopted.
