Personal History
I was just eleven when I hopped onto my first quad, a Honda 250. It was like love at first ride, you know? From there, I graduated to a Honda 300, craving more power, more speed. And now, I'm tearing up the trails on a badass Honda 450.
But let me tell you about this one crazy race. My folks signed me up on a whim, and boy, did it turn out to be a wild ride. I ended up crashing into this stubborn tree, snapping my handlebars like twigs. Managed just one lap, but that didn't stop me. Since then, I've been hitting up every race with those guys.
Besides all the quad action, I'm also big into cross-country running. It's like therapy, you know? Just me, the trails, and the rush of competition with my high school team.
When I'm not tearing up tracks or trails, you can find me slinging pizzas at the local joint. It's a pretty sweet gig, keeps me grounded amidst all the adrenaline.
Life's a ride and I'm just hanging on for the thrill!
Riding Goals
Why do I ride? Because I love the sport! You have to love the sport to compete in XC racing. The mental and physical strength it takes to complete a race, and to be competitive, is unlike anything I've experienced so far in life.
When you come across the finish line with mud stuck to your teeth, hands and legs cramping up, but with the biggest smile on your face, you know you've just been in battle. Whether you finish first or last, you are still a winner because you've completed something extremely difficult that only a small number of people have ever experienced.
This is why I ride!
