Personal History
My name is Ryder Simon, born August 15, 2006 in Colorado Springs, CO. I live with both my Mom, Dad and older sister. My parents started both my sister and I out on Strider bikes when we started walking as riding was my mom and dads passion. My dad always tells me he couldn't wait to get me and my sister motorcycles. So we where both introduced to motorcycles at the young age of 4 when my mom and dad got our first PW50's. We have always had a dirt bike in the garage as I have continued to get older. I always loved riding my motorcycle, but wanted to play soccer and decided to take it seriously. I played competitive for many seasons and enjoyed the team aspect of the sport. When not playing Soccer we spent tons of time going on Mountain Bike adventures. My dad raced Downhill Mountain Bikes and soon he started taking us to our local DH parks. I was hooked on that thrill 100%, I started racing DH with my dad on my full suspension Lil Shredder 20 inch. While racing both DH and BMX my parents thought I should try and race my motorcycle. I raced in a local Colorado state off-road hare scramble series. From then on I was instantly obsessed!
I also pride myself on being a good student in school. I academically hold a 3.0 grade average.
Riding Goals
We will be racing out of state as much as possible this 2024 race season. I look forward to traveling, riding and racing more tracks across the US. This will provide me the opportunity to grow as a racer and a person.
2024 Goals are to qualify in 250B - 250B Limited - Schoolboy 2 Loretta Lynn's AM Nationals.
