Personal History
My name is Zaren Brandes, I am 16 years old and I race Schoolboy1, 250 & 450 B. I live on the island of Oahu Hawaii and I go to school a Kapolei high school and I am in the 11th grade. I got a bike when I was about 7 and I played outher sports like baseball and football but I wanted to ride so finally my parents decided that they would let me ride and the rest is history, I have been riding as much as I can and working hard to progress and get faster and more fit.
Riding Goals
For the 2016 season my goals are to consistently place in the top 3 in both the 250 & 450 B classes, I know this will be a hard and challenging goal to accomplish but I have been doing more running and strength workouts to better prepare me for the bike and my riding/racing. Another goal I have for this year is to stay healthy throughout the whole year and ride like I know how to!
Competitive Highlights
In 2013 at my area qualifier I qualified for Schoolboy 1 with a first place and I won the 450 C class championship for the year with my 125. In the 2014-15 season I placed 2nd overall in both the 250 & 450 B for the year.
