How did you get into motocross? I got started into motocross because my dad took me to watch a race and suddenly I knew this sport was for me!
We hear you got a ride from KTM, how is that going for you? Yeah the deal with ktm is working great I think I surprised a couple of people on how well I got dialed in on it. I recently won my first Lites B class which was better than anything.
When did you start riding and on what bike? I started riding when I was 7 on an old yamaha pw 50 that was still one of the yellow ones.
What classes will you be riding this year? I am riding schoolboy 1 and 2 and Lites/MX B this year.
What would your dream race be? Which riders, which track, what conditions? I think my ideal race would be to get to line up at Anaheim 1 focused and battling with the best riders in the world. I would want the track to be rough becuase I run good on a rough track.
What other sports do you enjoy doing? I play some backyard football and just wrestle on trampoline. I don't play any other actual sports becuase there's no time.
Who is your favorite Supercross rider? My favorite rider would have to be Ryan Villapoto becuase he is smooth and very fast. Injuries get him sometimes just like me, but every rider knows there going to crash it's just a matter of when.
Training, what is your schedule? I do lots of push ups and sit ups to help stamina and strength. I run and do lots a stuff to help cardio as well.
Red Bull Ringer Relay Race @ Bremen, tell us a little about that.. The red bull relay race Is something I'm honored to be apart of, but I really don't know many deteils about it yet.
School, you probably hate it, but what is your favorite subject?
Yeah school is fun but I don't like it as you said. My favorite subjects would have to be math, because numbers are easily to learn, and media becuase it's just totally fun. Also, even though it's not a class, I love study hall!
Want to thank anyone, or give some shout outs? I would like to send thanks to my parents because with out them this wouldn't be possible and god for keeping me safe every time I go out and ride. Jeremy Ketchum at ktm, Lisa at Redbull, TN FCA MX Team, all of my sponsors listed above and definitely Eric Carney because he takes me to races when my dad is working or can't make it! |
