EXTRA EXTRA

I was selected to ride in the KTM JR. Supercross Challenge in Orlando FL on March 17th, 2007!!

I had the most awesome experience of my life! I rode in the KJSC this weekend! I met other riders from across the world and made some new friends. The people from KTM were the nicest and made all of us feel like Pros. The track was really harder than all of us thought it would be but it was really fun. I will never forget this and would tell everyone to apply to ride. Its GREAT!!!!! Thanks for all the support and well wishes from my family, friends and my MX family!!!

Competition Q & A

How did you get started?

When I was 4 years old I went to Supercross in Atlanta. I loved it but when the little guys came out to ride I told my mom and dad that was what I wanted to do. They told me I had to learn to ride a bike without training wheels first, so in 2 days I did. Santa brought me a PW50 and that was the start of it all.

List your competitive highlights

I started practicing on a real track in March 06. The week before the season started I broke my right wrist at school. I worked very hard to get back on the track. I finished the MotoMadness Series 2nd in the Points Championship on my PW50. I have had 3 articles in the newspaper. I competed in the Frozen Winter Series on a 50cc KTM ProSenior in 2 classes and haven't recieved results. I also competed in the Frozen Winter Series on my new KTM 65 in 2 races and finished 2nd and 5th.

What are you planning for next season?

This year I will be competing in the MotoMadness Series and the SCCS Series from March until November. I will be riding in 2 classes on my 65. I will be working hard to adjust to my larger bike with the clutch. I can't even touch the ground! I hope to be competitive and have a safe and good finish this year!

What has been your biggest accomplishment?

By far the biggest thing that has ever happened to me in motocross or life itself, is being chosen to ride in the Amp'd World Supercross in Orlando on March 17. I will be riding in the KTM Jr (KJSC)Supercross Challenge. This is the very race that got me hooked on motocross and now I'm going to be one of the little guys riding. What a great experience this is going to be, I can't wait!!!
