2004

Christmas age 8.

Good fun riding on the fields and in the woods behind my nan and granddad's house. Who would have thought 3 years later I would be winning my first British Championship!!

 

 

2005

12 months later came the big step, up to a Pro Shark.

With nowhere to safely ride a quad, I joined Wirral Off Road and raced in their enduro events, finishing 7th overall despite missing the first two rounds.

 

 

2006

Standard & Modified Sharks

I didn’t really enjoy the enduro style of competition, so in 2006 I joined Quad Heaven, equipped with a new modified Shark Type R. This was more like it, I was hooked! Riding on some of the best MX tracks in the country, I couldn’t get enough of it, so much so that when the new Type R MX came out we decided to race both 100cc modified and standard classes. I finished 4th in the modified class, unfortunately I didn’t get a decent placing in the standard class, as we usually had to strip it for spares to keep the modified bike running.

 

 

2007

The launch of the Cobra ECX70 shifter.

At last a proper fully race prepped quad, straight out of the crate. Despite a few early teething problems I won the JH Racing IOPD British Championship and got a third in the NETT.

 

 

2008

Back on the Cobra for its second season. I also ran the new Yamaha 250R at JH meetings, racing 6 moto's in a day, jumping off my Cobra onto the Yam was hard work, but I loved it!

I finished 3rd in both JH Racing and Nora MX, 4th in the BYQX series and a close second in the NETT.

I also got a brilliant 4th place in the 250 standard class on my Yamaha YFM250R.

 

 

2009

Racing only in the 100cc shifter class this season, I got a support ride with Cobra Moto (USA) and KIK. I also gained some great sponsors in Pulse Racing Products, ZIP Racing & Moto-Direct, supplying me with all Motul products...... Thanks guys

With frustration of not being able to compete with the larger engined KTM's & RM's, came the decision to change ride half way through the season and I parted company with Cobra Moto, we handed back the little 65cc bike and opted for the Maessen Suzuki RM85.

It took a few meetings to get used to the handling of the Maessen RM85, but it all came together eventually, unfortunately too late to do anything about the championship standings. I finished 1st in Nora MX, 2nd in the NETT and 3rd in the British BYQX series.

 

Bring on 2010!
