Personal History
My name is Russell Hale. I'm 20 years old and a full time student in college. I also have a part time job working as a waiter. I love being active and being with friends and motocross is the ultimate cross-connection between the two. I am very passionate about motocross and that's why no matter how many times I get hurt, I could never give it up. I plan to follow my dream and become a pro and hopefully make something out of it.
Riding Goals
Goals for the upcoming season are to be more prepared for the pro class. I want to stay competitive at local races and also at nationals. I'd like to see myself near the front eveywhere. I'd like to do some supercross and for sure doing some outdoor nationals in 2013.
Competitive Highlights
One of my competitive highlights is making it as far as I have in racing. I started 6 years ago in the beginner class and just to be where I am now is an accomplishment in itself for me. Also making it nationals and qualifying are big accomplishments. I got 2nd place at the Team Green National at Oak Hill in the intermediate class 2 years ago which was incredible. Also going pro was a huge step and so far it's been a good one. Making it to Ponca in the pro class was a great feeling.
