My name is Nicole Zipay and I am 22 years old. I graduated in 2008 from Hubbard High School in Hubbard, OH. I am currently attending Youngstown State University where I am pursuing a degree in Human Performance and Exercise Science, after graduation I would like to work training athletes including those in motorsports such as motocross. Also I plan to continue my education pursuing a Masters in either Biomechanics or as a Physician’s Assistant.
I began racing in 2009 although I have been riding dirt bikes and ATV’s for almost 17 years. In the winter of 2008 my first sport quad a 2005 400ex and soon after began racing motocross. About halfway through the race season my parents helped me buy a 2005 450r. Since then I have been working to make improvements to myself as a rider/racer and also have been making improvements to my bike.
For the 2011 race season I had a great year in the AMA/ATVA Series. I finished 8th overall for the year even though I was only able to attend 5 events. For me the hardest part of the nationals is the financial commitment. It is hard going to school and only being able to work part time. I even take classes in the summer so it is hard to make ends meet during the race season. I appreciate any support I can receive and my racing career would not be possible without the great support I have received in the past and will hopefully continue to receive in the future.
For the 2012 season I plan to continue to race in the AMA/ATVA Series in the Women’s C class, I am also planning on beginning racing a dirt bike as well as continuing to race my ATV in the local CRA series in the Women’s classes as well as some PAMX races.
My sponsors the past three years, including O’Neal, EVS, 661 and One Industries have been really great and without them it would not be possible for me to continue racing. I enjoy this sport as well as the other disciplines of ATV and dirt bike racing, I love just being at the races and meeting new people. I believe a racers appearance and reputation make a great difference and that’s why I represent all of my sponsors in a respectable and professional manner. I display their logos on my gear, graphics, truck and trailer. I am willing to help promote their products in any way I can. I thank you for your time and appreciate any help and support you can offer.
I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully having the pleasure to work with you. If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything with me feel free to contact me in any way that I s convenient for you
Thank You,
Nicole Zipay
