Personal History
My name is Tori and I am 12 years old. I have been riding since I was 5 yrs old. My dad started me our on a Suzuki 50cc and took me to Rower Flats and Beaumont in Southern California. Now we live in Northern Idaho and I ride my Suzuki 125cc. My parents always teased me saying that I was born ready to ride.
About 6 years ago I fell in Apple Valley California while riding a Suzuki 110cc. I broke my knee and had surgery. I couldnt wait to get back to riding, and now as time goes I get more and more confident.
I enjoy riding because it makes me feel refreshed and in control. I like it that I am a girl and people dont expect me to be so good.
I have a younger sister Abbey who also rides and a littler sister but she is 2 yrs old. My sister and I like to race each other. My dad rides with us and my mom will follow behind with my little sister.
I also like to play sports in school like basketball and volleyball. In the winter I also like to ski. I think this winter though I am going to try snowboarding again and see if I am better at it then before.
I am pretty good in school and obviously, I really like hanging out with my friends. I am in a youth group for a local church.
Riding Goals
This year I would like to place better than before. I think I am getting better every year. Even if I dont place better, i just want to show myself that I am getting better and more confident.
Competitive Highlights
In one of my races at the Kootanei Fair Grounds, I was racing and this REALLY good girl racer had fallen infront of me and it took everything I had to not hit her. I didnt fall that whole race and all these other girls who I think are better kept falling all over the track.
Also I raced in Bonners Ferry and I actually placed first. I would have never imagined that I could have gotten that but I did. It was the most awesome feeling and it just made me strive to do just as good in my other races.
