Personal History
Hey im Richard Roberts i also go by Ritchie Ummm like everyone else i love mx and its just one of those things its part of lifei like to think of it as a gamble you win some loose some but in the end if you walk away your doin good. Ever since i can rember iv riden with my dad and now hes getting older so its mostly just my brothers and my friends. My family is pretty much a slave to the sport. were most families spend sunday afternoon at the park together we spend most of our sundays at a diffrent kind of park even my 3year old little brother rides. He has a crf50 he mostly just rides off the track but when we are at home he rides our track. Its like the hang out for all of my friends. I am current ly in the 11th grade but i really hate school but i have to get used to it because i plan to go to law schooo which is 4years of collage then 3 years of law school. But like everything else theres parts that you dont want to do but you have to do it any way because it has to be done. Like changing your oil and cleaning your airfilter adjusting you carbs ad tighting your chain . do it every time you ride and your bike wil lrun liek theres no tomorrow. But if you dotn do it you will not have a bike for very long.
Riding Goals
My goals for this year are the same as everyother rider to take an overall first in the season.
Competitive Highlights
Ummm i started riding when i was 3 and i started racing when i was 5 i won my first overall when i was 7. On my 8th birthday i had my first real crash i ate it and got a concussion. After that it seemed like they were everywhere i was always getting hurt. One of my worst so far was overshotting a pit jump and breaking 2 ribs. But thats life. I also want to one day race at budds creek but thats going to be a while. I like the layout of the track. My personal track is mostly rythem sections and big jumps. The lay of the ground was really helpfulwhen we were building it becuase theres hills and that ment less work for building and more for riding.
