How I got started

ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO WHEN I HAD JUST MOVED IN TO MY NEW HOUSE THERE WAS A KID DOWN THE STREET THAT HAD AN OLD XL75. I HAD SEEN HIM GOING AROUND THE BLOCK OFTEN. ONCE I HAD MET HIM HE LET ME RIDE HIS BIKE A LITTLE. MY PARENTS DECIDED TO GET ME AND MY SISTER BOTH BIKES AS WELL. WITHIN A MONTH WE BOTH HAD XR100`S, AND THEN IT HAD JUST PROGRESSED INTO RACING FROM THERE.

Goals for the Future

TO TRY TO RUN A GOOD PLACE IN THE "A" CLASSES. MY GOAL IS TO TRY TO EARN ENOUGH POINTS TO RECEIVE MY PRO LISCENCE WITHIN THE NEXT OR SO. AND TO WIN A BUNCH OF RACES, NOT ALL IN "A" CLASS BUT OTHERS ALSO SUCH AS 14-24,FOUR-STROKE OPEN AND STUFF LIKE THAT AS WELL.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I RHODE A YZ-125 I FIRST LEARNED TO DO DOUBLE CANS. IT WAS 2002, I WAS DOING THEM OVER AND OVER ON THIS TABLE TOP AT THIS TRACK CALLED BUFFALO RANGE. I HIT THE JUMP AND I DID IT PERFECT LIKE EVERY OTHER TIME EXCEPT MY FOOT CAUGHT THE GAS CAP AND I COULD NOT GET MY FEET BACK OVER AND I CRASHED IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY ON MY DADS BIKE AND BROKE MY THUMB AND MY PELVIS AND NEEDED 9 STITCHES. I FELT LIKE THE BIGGEST SQUID EVER.

Why do you like this sport?

I TRULY LOVE THIS SPORT BECAUSE IT REALLY SHOWS TALENT GREATER THAN THAT OF OTHER SPORTS. EVERYBODY THAT HAS RHODE A DIRTBIKE KNOWS HOW HARD AND SCARY IT IS AT TIMES, SO WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE LIKE CARMICHAEL THROWING THERE BIKES FLAT OVER JUMPS LIKE LAROCCO`S LEAP, IT JUST AMAZES YOU THAT SOMEONE CAN AQUIRE THAT MUCH SKILL. ALSO THERE IS NOTHING LIKE WHIPPING YOUR BIKE AND HAVE THE WIND RUSHING IN AS YOUR JUST FLOATING OVER A HUGE GAP. IT IS ONE OF A KIND, AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I HOPEFULLY WILL ALWAYS BE INVOLVED IN.

Describe your style...

IVE ALWAYS JUST TRIED TO DEVELOUP GOOD STYLE AND I THINK IT LOOKS PRETTY SICK. BUT I DO THINK MY STYLE CAN GET MORE AGRESSIVE AND MEAN THOUGH. OTHER THAN THAT I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD AND IT LOOKS LIKE I KNOW WHAT IM DOING AND I JUST DIDNT JUST START RIDING YESTERDAY.

Music?

I LOVE ROCKING OUT TUNES, ESPECIALLY AT THE TRACK, IT GETS ME MOTIVATED. MY ALL TIME FAVORATE BAND IS SOCIAL DISTORTION. MY FAVORATE SONG BY SOCIAL DISTORTION IS "DONT DRAG ME DOWN". WHICH IS ON THE BEST ABLUM OF ALL TIME, WHITE NOISE-WHITE HEAT--WHITE TRASH. NEXT TO SOCIAL DISTORTION I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT SEPULTURA AND PENNYWISE ARE MY SECOND FAVORATE BANDS. CHAOS A.D. FROM SEPULTURA AND LAND OF THE FREE FROM PENNYWISE ARE A FEW OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A PRO RACER ON THE NATIONAL CIRCUIT. I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY WOULD LIKE TO BE SUCCESSFUL AS A PRO AND TO END UP WITH A FACTORY RIDE CHASING RC AND BUBBA, BUT MY GOAL IS TO DO THE BEST THAT I CAN AND TO TRY TO QUALIFY FOR NATIONALS AND TURN SOME GOOD POSISTIONS AND THEN SOMEDAY MAYBE GET A FACTORY RIDE. IF I COULD CHARGE HARD AND TURN HEADS BEING A PRIVATEER THOUGH, THAT WOULD MEAN MORE TO ME THAN ANYTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD.

I HAD QUALIFIED FOR THE MILLVILLE REGIONAL FOR LORETTAS IN 250B MOD THIS YEAR(BUT THEN CRASHED OUT OF THE QUALIFIER). LAST YEAR I ENDED THE NUCLEAR SERIES WITH A 2ND PLACE OVERALL IN FOUR-STROKE OPEN. I WON AN ARENACROSS. IVE WON AT MC MOTOPARK A BUNCH OF TIMES. I RACE ALMOST EVERY WEEKENED, I ALSO RACE THE NATIONAL TRACKS WHEN THEY ARE SCHEDULED.
