Personal History
I work supporting cabin system on aircraft. When I'm not doing that or working on my MBA, I ride as much as possible. I quit Motocross after i started racking up too many broken bones and tried out Harescramble and Enduro for the first time in 2014. It's a "little" different from what I'm used to, but I'm definitely hooked.
I bought a 2013 WR450 in 2013 as just a fun bike and wasn't planning on getting into racing. I tried my first harescramble in 2014 and really enjoyed it. After the season, i realized it was way too much bike and bought a 2014 Husaberg TE250. So far i'm really enjoying being a bit more competitive on a 2-stroke.
At this point, however, I'm more concerned with having fun than winning so when i start finishing towards the front in B i'll bump myself to A next season and ride Open A for half the season and then go to the Vet A for the remainder of the season.
Riding Goals
Have fun, get better at woods riding and stay healthy.
