How I got started

My friend raced motorcross, My dad bought me a JR 80 about 3 years ago. I raced my first event 2 weeks later. After a month we bought KTM 65`s. I have just moved up to the 85 class and am still riding KTM.

Goals for the Future

I will be traveling most of 2007. I will be attending most of the larger AMA amature events. My goal is to finish at least top 5 for my first year running the circuit. I have increased my training and have taken a more serious approach to my riding.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

My second race was in Tennessee. I had been riding for 3 weeks. I was still riding my JR 80. The only class I could ride in was the 65 10-11 class. I could not make it through the woop section. I kept falling down and was in the way. Once I got my KTM 65, I went to a track with woops and my trainer, Drew Askew taught me how to skim. Whoops are one of my strong points now.

Some Personal Information About Me:

I just turned 13. I have a A average in school. I changed schools this year and love the school. I have been voted most friendly and was elected Vice President of the student council.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

This summer I attended a training course with Chad Ward at his training facility. Training consist of a 10 mile bike ride in the morning and then to the gym for a light strenth work out. The afternoon consist of track time. When school started back, my Dad gets me up at 5:30 am for a work out before school. This is mon through Fri. Weekends are for racing. My Dad trains me on the track. I have to start out with 20 minutes for warm up and then we work turns, braking drills, holeshots. I train with Clark Stiles, Shane Mills and Drew Askew as much as possible

Why do you compete?

I played baseball for 6 years. I was not very good at it. When I started to race, I was good. I was winning races and everybody knew me before I new them. The family is involved, my Dad is my machanic and my mom takes care of all the other stuff.
