(old school shot)

I have lived in Louisville, KY most of my life. I am 40 years old and I have been racing motocross since 1981 and riding motocross since I was 7 years old. I have also participated in Arenacross and Supercross. I have also ridden BMX since I was 6 years old and competed at E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park in Louisville at the Grand Nationals. If my BMX bike was broken, I would ride my 80 or vice versa. I am a member of Southeast Christian Church. My favorite track is Ballance MX in Oakland, KY. My favorite Indiana track is Podium One in Charlestown, IN. Scenic Highlands in Newcomerstown, OH is my favorite motocross track in Ohio. I also really like Muddy Creek in Blountville, TN and Budds Creek in Maryland. My favorite Pro rider is Justin Sipes and my favorite amateur rider is Daniel Baker. I hope to continue to race and do my best to stay healthy and avoid injuries. In 2008, I plan on competing in the Bluegrass Series Outdoor and Indoor, the Podium One Series, the Sundown Fair Series, Muddy Creek and Mammoth East. My best Motocross moment was competing in the 2007 Motocross of Nations-Supercross for Amateurs where I took the holeshot 4 out of 6 mots and finished 2-1 oveall in the 25+ class. My worst motocross experience was the Spring and Fall of 1997 when I suffered a broken collarbone, 3 broken ribs and collapsed lung. My favorite thing about being a rider is the holeshots. For me, the hardest thing about being a rider, is not getting enough seat time (practice). My favorite exercise is Wednesday night practice at Podium One. Ashley Fidek inspires me the most because she never gives up and she rides a 125 two stroke. Did I mention she can't hear? In the future, besides motocross, I would like to have a business such as Kaelin Auto Transport.
