Small description as to why you chose to race the Kenda AMA National
Enduro Series: I choose to race the National Enduro Series for a couple reasons.
For one, it is known as such a prestigious series throughout the off-road indus-
try, so it is really cool for me as a rider to be a small part of that each weekend!
And two, I really think it makes you a better rider all around, helps you sharpen
your skills f or different disciplines of racing as well.
Your favorite race so far: Favorite race has been the Dragons Back in VA! Great
trail and great dirt all day
Favorite moment on the National Enduro Series: That’s a tough one, but I
would have to say the first test of the day at the at the Oklahoma, Zink Ranch
Emduro last year, I really enjoyed racing where the ISDE was once held, and
earned my best overall on a test with 7th OA there.
