Everything in this sport is an accomplishment..

knocking off my braces and getting 8 stitches in my bottom lip, or almost pulling the holeshot at
a Loretta Lynn qualifer and being taken out and run over in first corner.
What do you feel is an area that could be improved in any aspect of motocross?:
I think that some flaggers need to pull their head out of their butt, but some are pretty decent.
What is your favorite track?: Mt. Carroll, Illinois

the track. He's always on the gas, whether he's upside down, sideways, or backwards!! He's also
the nicest guy off the track.

Give a brief description of why you enjoy the sport of motocross in your own words.
Motocross is a sport that you perform by yourself. You have your support system, but ultimately
it comes down to you and only you. You get a satisfaction from it that you can never achieve in
a team sport.
