Personal History
My name is Gentry Wade. I am 16 years old and I race motocross baby!!!! I decided to quit football and baseball to race moto and I have never had 1 regret lol. I absolutely love riding and I can’t believe how fast and far I’ve came already! I started racing 2 years ago in 2021. I’ve been riding for 4 years. I started in the D class and was pretty slow not gonna lie but I built a track at my house and rode every single night and got really fast in a short amount of time. I ended up going to C class and my first C race I got 1st and I also raced schoolboy 2 B/C and got 4th running with top Oklahoma B riders. I couldn’t believe how fast I was going but I did it. I went into the 2022 oscs season rd 2 and tore my acl, maniscus, and a random ligament in my right knee. I was out for 6 months but I was totally good at 4… Doctors I guess. I came back from that and was riding faster, smoother and better than I ever had before. I went to Texas and got 9th at swan mix and 8th at oak hill raceway. That’s not bad saying I had never been to Texas before and that was my 4th C class race ever at swan. Plus I ate crap early moto at swan and passed 25 people in 4 laps trying to catch back up
Riding Goals
I will go to Loretta’s this year and then move up to consistent B. My major goal is to ride for a factory team and be able to make a living off of riding dirt bikes.
Competitive Highlights
I’d say my main competitive highlight was when I was in 35 place and passed 20 or so people to try to get back where I belonged in 4 laps.
