Why do you like this sport?
I like...no, I love...this sport because it is so fun! My Dad races too (LTR450) so it's a great way to have family time together. My whole family rides 4 wheelers so when my Dad & I aren't racing, the whole family (Dad, Mom, Brother & Me) go out on the trails and kick it up!
Why do you compete?
I compete because it is exciting! You race other people but you are always testing yourself. I like the feeling I get when racing whether I win or not. Of course there is nothing like a win and a 1st place trophy to bring home.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up I want to be a Pro Quad Racer!
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
Well I hate to repeat this but here it goes. One night we were late getting to the track and I was rushing to get my gear on so that I could get a practice in before the race. Mom was throwing my jersey on me and dad was helping me get my pants on, etc. I get everything on and go out for practice...lets just say things felt a little breezy! After practice I went back to the pits and my whole family is laughing and telling me to get off my quad so they can fix something. My dad had put my pants on backwards and the zipper wasn't zipped up so my rear end was hanging out through that whole practice! Yeah, everybody thought it was funny.... but me. What did I learn??? Get to the track on time!!!!
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I go to practice almost every Thursday night. I also have a track in my backyard that I practice on after school. My Dad changes it up every once in a while so I can get used to different styles of jumps. I race almost every Saturday night whether it's a points race or not. I'm also going to do the SSQSA full time this season and those races are on Sundays.
