Q&A - Self Interview

How long have you been racing?

i've been riding for about 4 years, and are now just starting to race this year.

What got you started in this sport?

well no one in my family rides, i guess you can say i kinda got myself into it, i went out riding with a friend and i fell in love with it so i decided to pursue it. I was hooked, I had to beg my dad to let me buy a dirtbike, my first bike was a crf150f boy was that a tank of weight..lol

How often do you ride or race?

I try to go out there twice a week if i can, i've been mostly riding track and i got into racing, but i still like to go out and ride dessert it helps me alot on the track to gain body control.

What makes you a good athlete that would make companies want to sponsor you?

Well i'm a well rounded athlete. Im absolutely in love with motocross, and will do all that i can to be a better rider, your constantly learning new things. Ive always been athletic and in sports since i was five and motocross was just one of those things that i would never give up doing. When im out there on that bike all worries go away and its just you and the adrenaline in your body. Im in this on my own, no one taught me how to ride, how to hit a jump, how to go through the whoop section or clear a double, i learned by watching other people ride, so i just had to work harder at it. My parents have never seen me ride so everything that i have done in this sport to get where i am was done by myself . So rider support would be greatly appreciated and a very big help. I will endorse and promote all my sponsors!

Do you have school/work/other sports or any other things your involved with when your not riding?

Yeah. I snowboard, which im also good at. I play on a soccer team and i'm captain of the team. I work a part time job for 3 to 4 hours a day and i attend santiago canyon college. It's hard because I don't have a full time job to buy all the parts and accessories i need for my bike.
