Personal History
My name is Steven Sparks. I am 15 years old, a member of my church youth group, enjoy paintball, snowboarding, my dog named Diesel, and I love to ride, work on, and race my dirt bike. This year I am a 9th grade student at Hereford High School and am on the wrestling team. I started riding at 3 and racing at 7 years old. My older brother and sisters come to races when they can. I maintain my bike and can do some repair work on it. This year I spent about 7 days learning about and working on my bike under a local shop owner, Walt Wyckoff.
Riding Goals
Next year I plan on racing in the 85 14-15 class and will try to compete in the Loretta Lynn Races. We just got a YZ125 and started competing in the School Boy class. I will follow the MDRA series next season.
Competitive Highlights
This season I raced 85 stock 12-13 in the Loretta Lynn National races on my YZ 85, and finished 27th overall. I am the 2007 Happy Ramblers 85 12-13 track champion and the 2006 Jr. Mini track champion. I have done a harescramble race, and while on a 65 I raced arena cross with 2 podium finishes in Baltimore.
