Personal History
I started riding when I was 7 years old, and have been racing and riding ever since. My family is big in to bikes, we all have been riding forever. Both my uncles are ex-pros in Canada in both motocross and road racing. When I'm not racing I enjoy working on my bike, truck, snowmobile, and other mechanical things. I'm a die-hard 2 stroke racer, and I have a Maico 400 that I race vintage events on as well. I hope to make it down to Unadilla this coming season for their vintage week. I built a track at my house in our field, as well as a pertty extensive set of trails, to help me train and put hours on my bike as much as I can. Motocross is my life, I would be lost without it.
Riding Goals
Some goals I have set for myself is consistent top 10 finishes in the CMRC Junior classes of 40 or more. This is a big step up from the Beginner class but I feel that with enough time on the bike and experience this year I will be able to make it happen. I also am always trying to improve my riding skills, specifically my corner speed and jumping. I have good corner speed already, which is really important. The only problem I have is that I'm not a huge fan of jumps with big consequence, but I should get more comfortable with this over time and experience again.
