Personal History
Wyatt has been riding a motorcycle since he was two and a half years old. One day he told us he would ride in the Edward Jones Dome someday. We took him to his first race in 2011 on his PW 50, and we haven't stopped since. Wyatt broke his arm at a race on Sept. 15, 2012 and finshed 4th [we didn't know it was broken until later] but he has been working hard and racing hard to get back to where he was.
With all of the rain, the first race for 2013 was the North Central Area Qualifier. Riding his 2010 Cobra for the first time, he placed 7th.
Wyatt is excited to be on the roster for Loretta Lynn's 2013 National. He rode extremely well, placing in the top 10 in one moto. Overall he placed 26th after a rain delayed, crazy week.
Wyatt is doing very well in the 1st grade. He has straight A's and is enjoying school. While he would rather ride his motorcycle, he has met many friends and plays lots of kickball.
Wyatt is thrilled--he no longer has to use a booster seat in the car! He is officially 8 years old. Second grade has brought more fun and friendships. He loves learning cursive and science is his favorite part of the day, after recess of course.
Wyatt is now riding a 2016 Cobra 65. He is enjoying the challenge of shifting on a bike that fits like his 50.
Wyatt has started riding a KX 85. He loves the suspension!
Riding Goals
Wyatt's goals for riding his motorcycle are to race in the Edwards Jones Dome and to make it to Loretta Lynn's.
Wyatt is excited to return to Lortetta Lynn's in the 50SR class in 2015. He also wants to ride at Mini O's and other national races.
Wyatt hopes to register to compete in the 2015 KTM Challenge. He would love to be able to ride in St. Louis--the Edward Jones Dome!
Wyatt and his brothers discuss how they are going to live together as adults and Wyatt will pay for everything with the money he makes as a pro rider.
Over the winter months, we hope to get some seat time in by returning to Monster Mountain or possibly heading to Oklahoma or Texas.
