Personal History
I am Tyler Etheridge and I am 16 years old. I race in District 13. I began racing at the age of 8 on a KX65. I only raced a few times the first year, but for the next several years we raced approximately 30 races a year. In 2006, we took off and did not ride again until early 2007. That year I moved from an 85 to a 105 to a 250 F all in the same year. During this year we raced at a bunch of tracks that we had never raced before. In 2008, we began riding in District 13 again and continue to do so this year.
Riding Goals
My goal this year is to remain as competitive as possible in 250 B and in Schoolboy 2. I hope to win either 1 or both classes in the Twin County Mega Cup Series. I also hope to place as high as possible in the District 13 standings and set myself up to hopefully win both classes in the district. My ultimate long term goal is to pursue a pro license in 2011 and possibly try to qualify for the Budds Creek National in 2012 or 2013.
