Competitive Highlights
I was an AMA professional licensed Motocross racer in 2000-2001
My favorite race was my first pro race Aug 13th, 2000 at Millville, MN with a 2nd Moto finish of 20th and overall finish of 23rd. I just turned 16 the month before and had only been riding for 3 years. I broke my left hand in qualifying on Saturday. I was in the top ten on Sunday during heat 1 and got taken out in the famous sand wash. I came back and finished 2nd in the LCQ on Sunday allowing me to compete in the main. I ran in the top 20 for the majority of the 30 minute race, but due to injury it was difficult to hold on the entire race. I still completed both motos and was happy with my results since this was the first time competing in a pro national.
