Getting to know me...

          Let me start off by telling you a little about myself.  I am 12 years old that loves mountain biking, playing airsoft, building things, my 2 dogs and other animals.  I am not picky about what kind of animal but snakes and alligators would have to be my favorite because they  really make my mom squirm. 
          I started mountain biking about 1 1/2 years ago. In July of 2012, I joined the CycleYouth/LeRoy's Bikeworks Team.  I ride an Orbea Alma 29er with American Classic wheels and Rockshox sid forks.  I am currently using ESI grips.
          My favorite local trail is Big Mama's House at Loyce Harpe Park.  My favorite race so far would be Markum Park in Miami, FL.  I enjoyed this race because I love all the wooden bridge drops.
          My mentors would be Coach Chris Burnett and Jeff Adams. Coach Chris has and still is  teaching me about the technical things of riding.  While Jeff Adams is helping me train and become a stronger all around athlete.  
          My cycling goals for this next racing season would be to finish in the top 10 and to stand on the podium at least twice.
