Competition Interview

How did you get started?

I have been going to supercross race's since I was a baby. But in 2006 at the Phoenix Supercross I actually payed attention to the racing and I just fell in love with it.

List your competitive highlights:

I started racing in 2006 and got 5th at my first race. In 2007 I broke my wrist and my parents wouldn't let me ride but I kept pushing and was able to ride again. It took me a little while to get back up to speed. But know I am a front runner again and got my first win this year.

What are you planning for next season?

I plans for next season is to move up to the 85 age 14-16 class. To try my best when ever I am on the track and never give up and the rewards in the race will come.

What has been your biggest accomplishment?

I biggest accomplishment so far is getting my first race win on July 19th 2008. It was the greatest feeling in the world.

Personal Interview

What inspires you to compete?

I am inspired to compete by Ricky Carmichael, I want to be just like him. I want to do what ever it takes to be one of the greats.

Why do you like this sport?

I like this sport because it is different. It is not really a team sport. When your out there on the track your don't pass the the bike. That's what I like about it, it is up to you to win

Describe your style...

I think my style is just like Ryan Villopoto's. With my elbows down. And just going for it when ever I am on the track.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
