I am a Mom who loves to be with her son as much as possible...so naturally I started racing when he did and I love it! The Hill is our home track, and we race at Steel Wheels for the winter.

I started racing in the fall league at The Hill and now can't get off my bike! I race at my home track Rockford BMX and The Hill BMX. In the winter we travel to Steel Wheels and Rum River. I currently ride for Fly Zone Racing Team.

I fell in love with riding my bike from the very first time I balanced upright without training wheels, your first taste of freedom!. As a kid I was only exposed to BMX racing, by stories from my cousin, who was an avid BMX'er. Although, I never raced as a child, I spent the majority of my childhood outside on my bike with a pack of neighborhood friends riding wherever my legs would take me, like many of us did. After watching both my kids complete Beginners BMX League and start racing themselves, I made it 3 months as a spectator Dad, and then I started racing myself at 38 Years old. I played Basketball and Baseball when i was a kid, and it was great, but BMX is just different. BMX, in my opinion, is one of the most competitive sports out there. You compete against other racers, you compete against the track your racing and you compete against yourself to strive and get better every time your out on the track. The Life lessons and parallels that are drawn from BMX, develop skills that will last a lifetime.The BMX community is amazing, just ask any BMX'er. I love volunteering at my local track in anyway that i can, including helping to coach beginners league.
