I started riding on a PW 50 at about 5 years old. I soon grew out of it as it didn't jump to well. I then got a 50 Pro Senior KTM which got me into racing. It was too fast for the back yard! I rode that for about 1 year then got a LEM 50 which was really fast and really loud. I had some great racing and good results. My next bike was a LEM 65 which I raced for 18 months until I was lucky enough to get the use of the Polini 65 which I raced for 8 months and won a number of events including the nationals. I have now moved to the junior ranks and ride a Kawasaki 85 which has been really good. I am new to cross country as there are not many moto cross events for younger

riders, but I am loving it and look forward to all our upcoming events.
