Personal History
I rode a KX 60 with the big boys when I was around 8 years old and these extremely fast guys couldn't get over how I could keep up with them, if not pass them. They told me I should race but my stock car driving Dad said,"Motocross was too dangerous so go ride in the woods". I out grew the KX, hit puberty, and bought a worked rocket for the road and ended up with many speeding tickets. That rocket didn't go 5 feet without seeing 80MPH. I started paving, doing concrete, laying block, operating heavy equipment, and building various types of buildings at an early age so I have always been physically fit. Then I rode about 70 PBR bulls and followed the events in that circuit to the Richmond Virginia Coluseum. I realized that was too dangerous and started racing motocross in the year 2003 on a 2003 CRF 450. I love it and raced Hurricane Hills, Brome Tioga, Budds Creek, Sleepy Hollow, Dutchmen, Happy Ramblers, ect. Then I was moved to B class after my first season. 2004 to 2005 I got plenty of hole shots and finihed in the top 3. But even after at least $14,000 of upgrades, a new top end, and constant up-keeps over the years I needed a new race bike. My 2006-2007 season was a problem with a lead sled bike, changing jobs, and unreliable transportation, not to mention no practice. The only time I would ride the bike was on the track. 2007-2008 season is looking better with this light weight, race ready, more than enough power for my 135 lb. body machine, my 2008 CRF 450.
Riding Goals
-
Finish 1st in the Dutchmen MX series
Competitive Highlights
- Jumping the triple at Sleepy Hollow breaking my collar bone and still finishing the top of my class in the next moto.
- Every rider knows to beware at the launch of any jump because if I'm yelling, I'm jumping to get ahead, which I've had plenty of riders follow me for their first time.
