Racing and Competition

How did you get started?

I got my first quad when I was seven. It was a Suzuki LT 80. I rode at the beach and dessert a lot with family and friends. Then I got a Yamaha Blaster when I was 10 and was riding out in the fields and the beach alot. When I was 13 I got a '88 Honda 250R two stroke modified to a 310cc that my grandpa built. I started racing flat track with my friend out in Taft Ca and did very well winning many races. I raced that quad a couple more times at Taft's outdoor motocross track called Honolulu Hills and did decent.I started to realize when I was 15 I really like the sport and wanted to get more competitive so I saved up money and my family helped me get a 05 YFZ 450 last year and I have been doing everything i can to make myself and my quad better and faster.

List your competitive highlights:

Winning the flat track trophy dash race and some Main events at taft flat track on my two stroke. It was cool to win a race like that on an old bike.

What are you planning for next season?

I hope to race more then I ever have and be competitive as possible. I am definately going to do the Pisom Beach race agian this year and hopefully finish better.

What has been your biggest accomplishment?

Racing the Pismo Beach race and finishing it. That was the first Endurance style race I have done and i saw many people having to drop out due to mechanical failures.
