Personal History
Please note I'm an ATV rider not dirt bike. Been riding quads for about 13 years but only showed interest in riding competitively this year on my 2015 YFZ450R but after the first race I now strive for the wins. I am close to some of my family and distant from others but this plays no effect on my racing life and strict training plans. I have always been a larger built bloke but one of my life goals has been to compete in the Finke Desert Race and with my body in the shape it was I couldn't... so this resulted in making one of the biggest decisions of my life and make a change. This change has resulted in me losing 33kg to date and still working to lose more whilst building my fitness in preparation for the 2018 Finke Desert Race event.
Riding Goals
Currently on a weightloss journey working towards riding and completing Finke Desert Race in 2018. Working towards improvement in my riding and reach a pro level. I have set a very high goal for myself wanting to place well in a Finke event in the coming years and reach top of the pro ATV class in SA. I Haven't missed a MX / Enduro race this season and plan to be at every event all year with the goal of finishing at the top of the championship.
Competitive Highlights
3rd place overall Pro & Am class for the round 1 Enduro event was a great highlight for me as it was my first competitive race attended and taking home a 3rd overall was just something i wasn't expecting and really opened my eyes to my love for racing. Round 1 MX was also my first attempt at racing on a MX track and being able to take home 3rd in the Am class left me wanting to fight for more and chase the wins.
