I'm Brandon Merbach, and enjoy any challenging sport such as racing dirt bikes.  I am 18 years old.  When I'm not racing I enjoy going to the desert and to the river.  I am a persistant person, and refuse to give up on anything, I will find a way around any situation that's put in my path.  I started desert racing in 2006, the same year I started riding dirt bikes as a member of the SledRiders MC.  I started in the 250 Beginner Class with the racing #307x.  I currently have purchased a new bike, a Kawasaki 450F, I have improved my riding skills and ranking. I ended the 2008 AMA District 37 Desert Series with #19. My goal for the 2009 season is to earn my Amateure/Intermediate bar and win some races for my sponsors and family. I have reached my goal for the 2009 season by winning the last three races. Also I have offically been moved up to the 450 Amateur/Intermediate class!
