I'm 12 years old and live in So. California. I've been riding since I was 5 and I now race in the Mini / 85cc Novice class. Most of my riding was play riding in the desert up until a few years ago when my Dad started racing again. Then I started entering Kids Events at desert races and GP's. Last year when I was 11, I started racing a GP Youth class. Then in Jan. I turned 12 and was able to go out and race the full desert course with the big boys.

During the summer break, I spent some time at the tracks doing the AMA SoCal Motocross Series and even did a Motocross class with Gary Jones. It really paid off because I ended up 1st in class and 3rd Overall mini at the end of 8 rounds. I also met some new friends.

For the rest of 2009, I will be entering a couple of more Desert races and also a couple of more GP's.
