About Me

My name is James Vincent. I'm 16 years old, and live in Southampton, UK.
I been doing motocross since I was 11 years old, I started off with a CR85 and practiced off-road, I started to go to events when I was 12. When I was 13 I upgraded to a KX125, couple of months after I turned 13 I moved to New Zealand, where I continued my sport. A year later, I left to go back to England, and went to other events and practiced how to perform my corners, jumps and handling better with the experience I got in New Zealand. When I was 14 I had a huge crash where I broke my right ankle in two places, left wrist, few toes, right index finger and right thumb, dislocated my left shoulder and left knee, this put me out of riding for almost a year, when I recovered I bought a new CR125 and got back on the track.
I am now still riding today, I'm buying a new KX125 very soon and continue to work my way up to more sponsorships.
I also do Snowboarding, BMX, MTB, Base Jumping and Skydiving as side sports to Motocross.
Feel free to add me as a friend, comment or vote.

"My strengths and weaknesses are the same: I've got the willingness and stupidity to try anything. If I think it's even remotely possible, I'll do it."

Q&A - Personal

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Yes I do train, I go to the gym or work out at home, keep to a good diet and practise my riding techniques when I'm not racing.

Why do you compete?

I compete because motocross puts me in a different world and it makes me feel great and I meet lots of amazing friendly people. Motocross has changed my life and I would not see myself doing anything else.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I'm from Southampton in United Kingdom and 16 years old. I like to try new things and put my all into motocross. I do many sports such as; Snowboarding, BMX, MTB and Base Jumping/Skydiving. I like to do these sports because mainly of the adrenaline rush I get and the great fun that I have.

I listen to a lot of music, it puts me into an area which I can concentrate which is great before races. I listen to mostly all different types of music; Rock, Punk, Hip-Hop, Drum And Bass, Dubstep.

My family and friends help me out a lot when I have my tough times, they always try to push me to reach my goals which is great.

Motocross is my life now and I am doing all I can to make it big in the sport.
