I got started riding 5 yrs ago on a 2002 xr80r and I rode trails for 2 yrs on that bike, and then I got a 2004 CRF150F and i rode that for another 2 yrs. Then i sold my CRF150F and bought a 2002 KTM125SX and started just going to the local tracks on practice days and riding and having fun and learning,then that progressed into my first race on Dec. 14th 2006 at Twin Peaks Mx in the Cool 10 Winter series which i took first place in 125 Beginner, and then went on to take 2nd place overall in the series. Every since then I have been  progressing and learning every weekend. I now compete in 125 C.
