Personal History
Manuel was just four years old when he got his first dirt bike, a 2006 Suzuki JR50. It was all Manuel could talk about, riding dirt bikes. He would always say, "When I grow up I am going to be a dirt bike rider". His love of riding grew when he competed in a few local races, his first race he placed first in the 4-6 years old 50cc class. Manuel gained new confidence and friends along the way. One of his best buds rode a KTM 50 SX, Manuel decided it was time and he was ready to upgrade. Months and Months of begging mom and dad for a KTM he finally got one, a 2008 KTM Mini SX. The look on his face was absolutely priceless when his dad showed him his new bike, "Now I can freestyle Dad! Now I can win more races" were some of the first things that popped out of his mouth after the initial, "Whoa:!". Manuel has now set his sights on more races this summer, and plans to continue racing for many years to come.
