Personal History
What is going on everyone! Name is Ryan Schmelter, I was born in Carlsbad CA and I love anything with two wheels. I love MOTOCROSS and BMX. I started racing motocross back in 2006 and quickly progressed. After winning my second race ever, I was bumped up to 250C where it took a little time to get in the groove of things. But within a few races in the C class I started getting consistent top 5's with some wins and was pretty good at getting holeshots. Did this for two years. I realized I couldnt afford paying for all of it (minus my dad driving me to the races). Fast forward to 2014 where I got back into racing but racing D38 Desert. Did very well even though it was my first year. I was beating Experts at my FIRST race. Was very successful in the as well! I was invited to race the 2014 Score Baja 1000. Being that i've never been down there, I was a little nervous but super excited. We ended up Winning the Pro moto limited class by 45 minutes! It was incredible! I've never raced a desert race of that caliber, but to win my very first one was Surreal. But my roots are in MX so this year i'll be competing in the Road to Mammoth. I'm going to do what I can to make my dream a reality in becoming a Pro and competing at that level.
Riding Goals
Go to a bunch of races and hopefully get some wins here in arizona. For 2014 I'm going to be competing in the Road to Mammoth.
Competitive Highlights
I raced bmx for 5 years and achieved 2 State Championships, 3 Distric #1 plates, and even won a couple of nationals. I started racing in 07 and did really well in the 250 class. Now I plan on taking my success to the big bike. Got 1st Place in Pro Moto Limited at the 2014 Score Baja 1000
