Motocross has been a part of my life since I was about six years old. Over the years I have ridden with my father and friends as a type of leisure activity. When I was about 13 years old, I went to a city called Southwick in western Massachusetts. This is where I had my first race. The experience taught me a great deal about myself and how to treat others, believe it or not.
My modo that I live by today is "Never Give Up." My first race is when that modo stuck. It was a cool experience knowing that the best motocross riders in the entire world race around the same track as I did.
It was that summer when my father took me to my first AMA National Motocross event at Moto-X 338 in Southwick. I fell in love with the sport. Now, every summer, we make it a tradition to watch the professionals race around the same track as I do. Below is a map showing the locations of all of the National Motocross Tracks in the U.S.
