Personal History
My name is Raymond Friedl and I'm 8 years old (AMA/OMA 7) from Oberlin, Ohio! I am moving up to a Cobra 50 FWE for the 2024 race season! I am in 2nd grade and my favorite subject is math, I would pick gym class if I could!
Outside of school, I am a member of my local 4H group! I play soccer on a club and local level!
I also love to spend time at my great grandparents farm going fishing and helping around their farm! I enjoy camping at local camp grounds and different race tracks with my mom and dad!
I have been riding for about 3 years now and fell in love with riding when I got my first dirt bike as a birthday present!
Riding Goals
I love riding because I can always find something I need to improve to become the best rider I can be! I enjoy seeing my hard work and dedication that I put into improving myself when riding pay off at local and national tracks! I also enjoy getting the privilege to race with different riders from around the United States and even different countries and making new friends along the way. I love cheering my friends when I am not racing!
For the 2024 season, I am going to work on improving my riding on my new cobra FWE and will be racing it in the 50 SR and 50 open classes! I would love to race at a few big races again such as Kings of Ohio, Baja Brawl, and Chillitown Classic. I also want to attend different trainings to get tips on what I need to work on to become the best rider I can be! My goal is to attend Loretta Lynn Area and Regional qualifiers and make it to Loretta Lynn's by the end of my senior year!
