HISTORY

My name is Russell Hale. I'm 19 years old and a full time student in college. I also have a part time job working as a waiter. I love being active and being with friends and motocross is the ultimate cross-connection between the two. I am very passionate about motocross and that's why no matter how many times I get hurt, I could never give it up. I plan to follow my dream and become a pro and hopefully make something out of it.

GOALS FOR THIS YEAR:

Goals for the upcoming season are to be more prepared for the pro class. I want to stay competitive at local races and also at nationals. I'd like to see myself near the front eveywhere.

COMPETITIVE HIGHLIGHTS:

One of my competitive highlights is making it as far as I have in racing. I started 6 years ago in the beginner class and just to be where I am now is an accomplishment in itself for me. Also making it nationals and qualifying are big accomplishments. I got 2nd place at the Team Green National at Oak Hill in the intermediate class 2 years ago which was incredible. Also going pro was a huge step and so far it's been a good one. Making it to Ponca in the pro class was a great feeling.
