Personal History
My name is Eric Farr, I'm 34 years old. I have been riding since the age of ten in Grand Junction, CO. I’ve been fortunate enough to ride the hills and jumps out here every day furthering my skills and experience. At 14 I started racing on a YZ125. After 6 years of racing and some accomplishments, I started to change my focus from the race scene to FMX and hitting ramps, at the age of 17. While riding ramps with my buddies in the hills I learned numerous tricks and started taking my fmx on the road, now riding a Yamaha YZ250. At 18 I was traveling the country doing shows, demos and perfecting my technique. I learned to backflip soon after and have been doing so ever since. Being a professional athlete in FMX I have gained sponsors throughout the years, been featured in magazines, appeared in the Nitro Circus 3D movie, performed at supercross halftime shows on the first factory freestyle team for jagermeister MDK KTM, had TV time, rode with other amazing riders, and traveled to other countries such as Turkey, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Canada.
Please watch a demo video that can show some tricks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNV5L4nfOeo
Riding Goals
I would love to steer away from doing so many shows and demos and do some more big competitions such as X pilots etc. I am focused on getting more footage, sponsors, video parts and more photography done. More publicity for my riding.
