Personal History
My name is Sydney, I am 9 years old and go to Grace Baptist Academy in Chattanooga Tennessee. It’s a really small school and i am in 3rd grade. I started riding last September on a 2001 KTM 50cc. As of February Ive been on a 2024 gasgas 65. I started training early doing MMA and getting a blue belt in Taekwondo. It wasn’t enough for me so I started riding dirt bikes and thats been the best thing next to my relationship with god. My little sister is riding a stacyc 16” and she will be wanting a dirt bike soon. What I really want to do is study at home and practice each day at the track. I can not devote enough time to riding. But until my dad gets help we are limited on what we can do. My family is very important to me. Being with friends and family at the track is the best time ever. I mean I always want to win but even when I dont i enjoy being there.
Riding Goals
I love the environment. Everyone has been really good to me. People have helped my dad when weve had issues. It’s a close family. I told my dad I feel free and I feel rested after a hard day riding. I cant explain the freeness of riding and how my body reacts. Since the season is over I want to practice even more. I want to work on ruts and where I need to be on each track depending on how it’s laid out. I do want to attend Loretta’s this year or next. I have a coach im working with some but my dad has had to work a lot so Ive not been able to attend practice. I do want to do the on track school program where i can practice every day.
Competitive Highlights
I know my first place trophies are suppose to be the high for me but in one race I battled it out with a boy for 2nd place who rides nationals it was me and 3 guys who ride nationals and the first boy just took off. I was able to battle it out with him and get 2nd place which was super cool.
since February I have won:
7 - 1st place
3 - 2nd place
10 - 3rd place
4 - 4th place
1 - 5th place was won last October 28th
I have 2 banquets to go too this year to receive a 1st place for the girls 65-85 dirty south series and a 1st place 65-85 girls series in the peach state series and I won the beginners but they dont do trophies for that class.
I just recently won the girls 7-12 girls 65-85 Alabama State on my 65cc
