How I got started

I am entering my fourth full year of racing.I started riding about the age of 4 on a jr 50 on our farm. After that I got a ds 80, next came an xr 80. Thats when dad built me a small track on the farm where we live. But I didn`t get to ride as much as I wanted to due to working on the farm. For spring break mom and dad bought me my first brand new bike, an xr 80. I really wanted a racing bike but couldn`t talk dad into it just yet. I soon found out you can`t ride an xr like a race bike. Didn`t take long for dad to trade it in for an 02 RM 85. After the first race I was hooked. It wasn`t long after that I out grew my 85 and went to an 03 KX 125. After that naturally came the 250.

Goals for the Future

My main goal for 2006 is to stay healthy on the track. I would like to compete on 2 national tracks.I plan to try to race as many Ky state series, Mega series & southern all star series as I can & try to qualify for Lorettas. I would also like to enter as many races as I can for experience. I want to ride on as many tracks as I can to sharpen my skills by riding with faster riders. Also talking with other riders to gain some useful information that I can put to practice on the track. I would like to put in as much time as I can on my KTM.

What inspires you to compete?

I have always enjoyed riding but nothing compares to the excitement of racing. I also enjoy trying to improve my speed & finishes.

Why do you like this sport?

I like motocross because it is such a rush. There you are sitting at the start gate your reving your bike to just the right rpm waiting for the gate to drop and all the while you feel like your heart is in your throat. There is nothing like that feeling.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I am a 16 year old high school student. I am honest, hardworking and very dedicated. I like to workout on my weight bench, ride mountain bikes, run and of course ride my KX`s as much as I can.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Yes. I run 4 miles 3 times a week. When I cannot run I use a stepper/jogger bike.I normally run on Tues,Wed,Thurs. I have a weight lifting class at school on Mon,Tues,Wed. Busy, always busy doing something.

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

Yes. I will load up and go anywhere to ride. We went to Red Bud this april & it started raining at 5:30 changed to snow at 9:00 and snowed all day. The track was still awesome but when I came in from my first moto I noticed I had about 7 spokes broken out on my front wheel & my next moto was linining up on the gate.We hurried to the truck;changed the wheel and as I pulled onto the line the light turned green and within 5 seconds the gate dropped and I got the holeshot!
