I remember I visited a BMX track for the first time in 2019 with my dad and I instantly fell in love with it. I have always been a big fan of bikes, my dad is too, so we share that in common. I promised to work hard at school and earn my BMX bike and so I did! In June 2020 I got my bike, I was so excited... The first time on the track and my coach put me on the gate, I was terrified... two months after that I had my first local race and got 2nd. It was on my 7th birthday, it was the best day ever! Little after that, I had my first state race and from there I made it to Gold Cup, some Nationals and made my way to the US Grands! 

I learned something new every time I raced especially to keep on training my school work. My parents have supported me every step along the way. I have so much to grow and learn. I am lucky to have my parents, my coaches, and my teammates to help me. The best thing that happened to me in this exciting journey was definitely meeting new friends on the racing tracks. This new season of 2021 is already filled with great things. Let's make it happen! 
P.D. I'm only 7, so my mom helps me put my ideas into words to share with all of you...
