Rider Updates
May 11 2020
Lack of racing has been awful...but during these down times, I have recently hooked up with an investor to possibly bring a track of my own to our local community. The nearest track is around four hours away, so we should bring in tons of racers! As an owner, I myself will not be competing but running the track, doing lessons and riding with guys in practice! So even though I will not be bringing in results for you guys, I will be doing everything in my power to maintain a professional demeanor and riding style. I want to thank all of you for the continued support. If it is possible, I would like to bring my current sponsors to our community via signs/tuff block covers and product at our track for all of our younger generations to get hooked on the awesome products I have gladly supported for the last years! A huge shout out to Spy Optics, I have been endorsed by your company nearly my entire racing career, you guys are truly the best! If there every comes a time when my track decides to start selling product, you will be the first thing on the shelves and the only googles sold.

So I will never race indoors again, Phoenix supercross was intense! I am literal garbage at rhythm sections but the good news is I did some crazy big hits lmao. Ill be sticking to outdoors where I feel at home.

Dropped back down to 170lbs and my diet/ cardio routine is on point! Picked up a 2020 YZ yesterday and just prepping up for Supercross/Arenacross this year. Thank you all for your continued support. My old and washed up self will win a championship or two this year!

Decided to race regardless of my foot and sitting in bed the past two months. DNF'd the heat because some clown pushed me off the finish line jump and I was on the ground with a messed up spine and out of breath the entire race. Luckily, there were only 14 people in the class so I qualified for the main event anyway. I was considering not racing but decided to anyway, pulled the holeshot, got pushed off the whoops and was in second to last, I made the podium by the end of the race so i'll take it. Thank you to everyone for the support and by the time im healed i'll be back at big boy class.

Been in depression mode from breaking my foot training for the Kicker Arenacross series. I’ve posted some surgery pics but I’ll be back training in a month or so, look at for me in a month and I’ll be posting some gnarly free riding pics!

Broken thumb is healed and I went out and threw down at a private track. Posting a video today, feels amazing to retain speed and just in general be on the bike. Preparing for an awesome 2017 season.

In an unfortunate turn of events our local track isn't happening now, too many people complained about it and now the local kids can't race. It's a sad world we live in, good news I'm good on my training and ready for the AMX championship. Ready to put my yz450f in contention for a championship in my first year racing A class. Thank you to everyone who supports what I love.

Finally back on my bike!!!! Turned out some fast laps, thumb was fine! Went down hard after suspension adjustments, but whatev, got back up and fixed the issues.
Thanks to all my sponsors for having my back, I'll have some news for y'all soon!

Been super bummed since my crash (injured my thumb, luckily no fractures!) Should be back on the bike this week if things work out right. The new track in Springerville is nearly finished so I should be ready to be back at the track doing what I do!

Pro race in two days!!!! Can't express how happy I am. Thank you to all my sponsors!!! Special thanks to my newest sponsor Pro Taper! I have used their products for years and to finally have an endorsement from the company is simply amazing! Factory Backing just recently sent me some new graphics, I will post pictures of the new look among race results soon! Shout out to my dude Josh Lawyer at Iron Works for the training regime and the motivation to be extremely fit ( love wearing my Rhino Power gear while maintaining Beastmode). Thank you all once again!

Enjoyed my bday with nothing but snow, I want to go riding. The good news though, I found out I am having a son! Motocross can take a backseat for the winter while I prepare for Baby Skousen!

Last three weeks have been ridiculously busy! Missed a race I wanted to do but my marriage and honeymoon were a blast! Placed first today in a local race, ready to get some traveling under my belt!

Unfortunately, I missed this first race and I will be missing the second as well. I'm getting married on October 2nd, and I had to chose to save money for my honeymoon or race. I'll get back out there soon enough, and post results!

Another awesome practice, EVS items came in this morning and a three day work week until practice. Life is looking good!
Also, got my items from pro circuit. The bike is a lot snappier, and feels better in the corners with my linkage. Thank you to everyone! Can't wait until September 20th!

Practice was amazing yesterday, did a fifteen lap moto without dying of exhaustion. Always a good sign, definitely faster than I've ever been. Thank you to all my sponsors for showing me the support I needed after a long break, I will prove this upcoming fall your faith in me as a rider and as a person is not misplaced.

It has definitely been a while, but after these couple weeks on the new bike I feel as fast I used to be. I guess you never forget what you knew. Posting pictures soon.
