Personal History
I am Taylor Kurtz, rider #909. I ride a 2011 Honda CRF 250R in the C class. I have been ridng since I was 8, and racing since I was 10 on a YZ85. I moved up to the "big bike" in August 2009. Once I got on the CRF 250R, I have spent some time at MTF training. Unfortunately, I have yet to be on the big bike for a full year due to injuries.
I have only been able to race 1 national at Ponca in 2010 where I dislocated my right shoulder during a moto. I qualified for Ponca this year after having knee surgery, but my shoulder needs surgery so it stops dislocating- especially when racing. I will be off the bike for the next 4 months. Maybe I can make it to the Open Amateur in Arizona come December 2011.
I am hoping I can go back to MTF once I recover for training so that I will be 100% for 2012! For 2012, I want to try to make it to all the big nationals in 2012- especially Loretta's.
When I am not racing or practicing, I like hanging out with my friends, playing Xbox 360, and combat airsoft.
I was really hoping 2011 would be "my year", but now it will have to be 2012. I know I will come back faster and stronger. I want to dominate in 2012- no other way to state it!!!
