Personal History
I'm 10 years old and from Decatur, Texas. I have 3 brothers and 1 sister. We are raised by my mom. My dad is in prison for a long time. I've always liked sports, football the most. One day my mom let me ride a friends dirtbike. I loved it so she bought me one, two weeks later she put me in my first race. I loved racing so much I decided to focus on riding and not do school sports this year. We haven't always had it easy with out a dad. But my mom makes sure we do what makes us happy. We learned together to work on my bike by watching YouTube videos. I still have a lot to learn but my mom coaches me at the track atleast 4 days a week. I go to as many camps as she can afford, two of the bigger camps she didn't have money for she found me sponsors, then made me go do chores like mow, clean horse stalls, and stuff to make sure I earned the money and not just take a hand out. She also brings out friends who ride to work with me.
motocross is awesome. I love the new friends I've made. I love race day. It's not like any other sport I've played. I am my own team. It's my job to finish the race. I don't have to rely on anyone but me. My mom is trying to decide which series I will do next. I think she will pick AMA.
I only got hurt once this season. I crashed hard and broke my eye socket and my hand. I walked across the finish line before I would let the ambulance take me to the hospital. I missed riding so 3 weeks later I jumped in a pool and ruined my hard cast, the doctor let me wear a Velcro cast after so I could ride.
Riding Goals
I want to keep riding and get better. My goal right now is to get better at starting a race in second gear. I also need to get better at staying pinned out while changing gears. Working on my corners and being more aggressive. I want to get sponsors so it can help my mom out with the cost of everything I do.
Competitive Highlights
I went to FCA camp for a week in Houston Tx this summer. I won the top award of camp rider out over over 100 riders. I won for being most eager to learn and listen. I won a new Bell Helmet. I also won biggest heart at camp and got a cool plaque.
My race that I broke my face I was in 3rd on the last lap. I was mad I crashed. But came back to that track for my first race back after doctors said I could race again and I took home 3rd!!
i just finished my first series. I won 6th place overall for the series out of 22 riders.
