Background
Ive been riding dirtbikes since I can remember with my dad but when i turned 16 I got my first big bike, an 06 CRF250r. I grew up riding trails and never knew what a real motocross track was untill I found one about an hour away from where I live and me and my buddys went up there one weekend to check it out and it gave me a whole new look on motocross. I couldnt even make it around the track once without having to pull off! haha well anyway I really liked this track and me and my friends would go up there a couple times a month and I got the feel for ruts, breaking bumps, jumps, and all the good stuff a track has to offer and when I was comfortable enough with riding my buddy and I herd about a race at Southwick. It was the last race of the year so we decided to do it. I had never used a starting gate or raced before so it was nerve raking but I was ready. It was only one moto formate for some reason but I had no clue what that ment lol so my race was up and when the gate droped I got stuck! there was a full 40 person gate! I came back to 27th place and I figured if I dindt come in last I was good enough to race again and ever since then racing has become my life!
