How did you get started riding and racing?
My dad. I started riding when I was 2yrs old. One year we tried a race to see if me and my brother liked it. We definitely did!
What was your first race number and how did you choose it?
333 has been my only number. I wanted 33 but it was taken in my series. But I’m glad because I love my triple three!
What’s your favourite subject in school?
Math because I find it easy and fun to learn new math skills.
What is your favourite track and why?
Mt. Thom NS cause it’s a nice big open track, it’s long, and really fun.
Who is your favourite rider and why?
It’s a tie between Jett Lawrence and Ken Roczen. Lawrence is really fast and has confidence in every race. Roczen is fast too and is a really cool guy.
What Canadian Pro do you look up to and why?
Dylan Wright cause he’s fast and always wins.
Who is your hero?
My dad because he’s awesome!
How did your 2024 season go? Did you meet your expectations?
Good. I’m really proud of myself, even though I didn’t get in the top 15 for my 65cc class. I got 6th in the Jr. Ladies class.
What was your best race?
Mt. Thom when I got 13th place in a 65cc moto and 6th in the Ladies.
What are your winter plans?
We are going to the states to different MX training camps. And snowmobiling.
What classes will you be racing next season?
65cc and Jr. Ladies
What are the big races you’re planning to attend?
Riverglade Nationals, Walton and Deschambault and Mini O’s.
What are your goals for next season, and what is it going to take to reach them?
To get top 10 in both my classes. It’s going to take a lot of hard work and practice, but I’m not going to give up!
What are your biggest accomplishments?
Making it this far in my dirt bike career, 2nd place at Eastbend MX (North Carolina) in the 65cc Beginner class which was my first 65cc race ever, 1st place in my MMA tournament, and 3rd in Jujitsu.
What is your favourite thing about going to the races?
Seeing my friends and kicking some butt on the track!
What do you like to do when you aren’t racing? What other sports or activities do you do?
I love riding at home, I’m in MMA, and swimming. I like to snowmobile too.
What’s it like having a brother or sister racing at the same time?
It can be crazy at times, but he pushes me to go faster.
You were at the Mini O’s this year and that’s a huge event. How did you like it and do you hope to go again?
10 out of 10! The motocross track was really fun, even though it was a little scary at first. I really liked all the hills and really hope to go back.
Does it make you happy when your brother/sister does well or are you just thinking about trying to beat them?
Both!
Good luck next season and who would you like to thank?
I would like to thank my parents and my sisters for supporting throughout the season along with my sponsors: Hello Plumber, Gate Drop Developments, Maritime Badass Apparel, EMCO, JM Bird Contracting, Hardway Cycles, Maritime Case, Macleans Sport, 100%, WD-40, Renthal, Engine Ice, Harris
