Personal History
Hello,
My name is Vernon Lee Fields the 3rd. I started riding in june of 2009 on a pw 80. I was on that for about 2 months and my dad said I had outgrown the performance and suspension of that bike, so he bought me an Rm 60 and I rode that for the rest of the 2009 season. I haven' t raced that much because my dad said he wanted me to know how to handle the bike properly before I started racing, that way I could be competitive and have less chance of geting hurt. I'm very eager to start racing competitively. If we get enough sponsorship for 2011 dad said I was ready to race. I'm currently doubling jumps and working on triples. I'm very fast in the straight aways and working on my corner speed. I'm beating kids at the local track that have been riding since they were 4 and I even beat some of the 85cc riders.
Riding Goals
My goals are to race as many races as I can in 2011. I would like to win them all, but i know that may not happen the first year of racing. I am going to give it my very best. My dad has been my coach to this point, but he wants to send me down south for some riding lessons from the pro's this winter. I just want to be the best rider out there.
Competitive Highlights
I don' t have many competitive highlights yet, but we are members at a local track. We put together some weekend events for practice. I won' t say I always win, but I do finish in the top 5 or better. That's with some 85cc riders in there with us 7to9 and 9to11 65cc riders. I have learned how to double jumps and now I am working on tripling jumps. Dad says my corner speed has really picked up latley, and I should be a force to be reckoned with this next season.
