How did you get started
in Moto-X?
My mom and dad are big fans of the sport and
my dad also had a dirt bike. He never raced but i was fascinated
by it. At 6 years old i asked them to have one, and they bought
it for me. It was a little 50cc.
Do you coach other riders?
Yes, I do motocross school. I teach girls
how to ride motocross. I have a lot of e-mails from fans and girls
that want to learn how to ride so I decided to share my experiences.

Who
inspires you?
People who work really hard to
get to the top.
What is your favorite trick? Right
now is the "double foot can-can both side". I just
got this down. |

| Why
do you compete in the men's and the women's classes?
I want to be the first
girl ever to qualify in the guys' class. |
What do you think will be the most difficult part about qualifying
in the Men's class?
All men at the PRO class are really super fast riders.
The
most difficult part is start in front of them. |

What
was your happiest moment in Moto-X so far?
:) Winning the World Cup and take the Holeshot
at the Unadilla race track last here in the men's qualify (an HOLESHOT
means to be the first rider to turn at the first turn). The Unadilla
track is one of the thoughest. I started in first position in front
of the other 39 PRO men riders. I'm the first girl in the history
of motocross to have done that. |
