Profile: I am a outgoing and dedicated youth who always strives to do the best in everything I do. On my fourth Birthday my mom & dad gave me my very first dirt bike, a Suzuki Jr. 50. My mom and dad only took me trail riding in the desert and after they thought that I was comfortable they started taking me to the motocross track. At this time I was on my new KTM SR 50 that I got for Christmas in 2007. My parents took me to Sandy Valley MX & Boulder City MX where I showed them that I wanted to race motocross. This started my motocross fascination. I love to play my Xbox 360 and ride my bmx bike at the skate parks or on my ramp at home. I played football and baseball before motocross and have since changed my obsession. I would love to be a motocross rider when I get older like Travis Pastrana. I also want to be a fireman like my uncle.
Riding Goals
I hope to make it to Ponca City in 2009 and Loretta’s in 2010. I will be racing in my first California series the spring of 2009, the Gold Cup series and I am planning on racing the Casino Town Series in Mesquite. I am also hoping for at least top 10 finish at the World Minis in Las Vegas during April, 2009.
Competitive Highlights
I entered my first race on March 22nd 2008 at Boulder City, the first round of the Gamblers Series and did pretty well. I ended up with a 1st and 1st place finish, giving me 1st overall. I got into motocross this year, January 2008. I am now finishing mostly 2nd or 3rd with a couple of 1st place finishes in both of my classes (pee wee 4-6 and pee wee open). My parents decided after my first 4 races I wasn’t a beginner anymore to race in the beginners’ bracket. I am currently racing in the 7-8 50cc and 65cc beginner classes.
