Ryan - Up Close and Personal

Why do you like this sport?

I like to race because it is so much fun. I get to go to the track and ride with my dad, friends and to make new friends, what an awesome thing to do! It is an awesome feeling to fly my quad over jumps or to power slide it through a turn. The most exciting time however is when I line up to the gate waiting for it to drop so I can launch my quad and get the holeshot! The perfect day would be to be at the track riding all day with my dad and friends, then do a little fishing on the way back, hit the pool when we arrive home and hang with my family the rest of the evening!

What inspires you to compete?

I always like the challenge of competition. When I go out to race I give 110%, run on the ragged edge. What feels good after a hard run race is not whether you win or lose, but when someone comes up to me after a race and says things like, wow I like to watch you race, or you have a lot of heart. I might not have won the race, but I gave it everything I had and my Dad always tells me that is the most important thing. Getting a thumbs up from another racer or someone coming by to say “good job” makes you feel like you just won no matter the results.

Some Personal Information About Me:

My home track is Miami MX and Seminole Tribe MX. I race in the mini-quad division on a Honda TRX 90. My dad is my mechanic, coach and best friend. I have a great family and love them all. They support me and cheer for me when I race out on the track. I like to race/ride my quad, fishing, swimming and about anything outdoors. I think it is important to respect all competitors; they are out there trying to do their best as well. The real competition is within yourself. Training, knowing what you need to do, and Heart is all it takes. It sometimes could seem easier to quit rather than to continue. When you continue even though you feel like giving up, that's the difference between winning or losing. It's all what's inside yourself. Fear can give you strength and motivation, it's something we can use to challenge our self everyday. My Favorite dirtbike rider is Ryan Villapoto. My favorite pro quad racers are Joe Byrd and Chad Weinen. My favorite Pro-Am racer is Jeff Rastrelli, he is so awesome!

Music?

Rock and Roll

Do you like to travel? What's your best (clean) road trip story?

The best road trip I have had was with my dad and friends going up to Ocala and then to Daytona for the SX race. We went up and rode at the Hardrock Cycle Park for a full day. My friend and I rode the all the tracks and had a great day of riding. The next day we headed over to Daytona to watch the SX race. I got to meet Ryan Villapoto, my favorite dirt bike racer and my dad took our picture together. Then we stood trackside and watched the races, which were insane! There are more to come but that was the most recent.
