How long have you been racing and what got you started?

I started riding in 2022 when I seen how much fun my sister was having and I wanted to kick some boy butt. My daddy and Papa drove really far to find me a new PW 50 and now I grew enough to be moved up to my sister’s KTM this year. We are going to hang my PW on the wall with my trophies.

What's your goals for the 2024 season?

After placing overall first in my division last year, I moved up classes on a new bigger bike, so I need to work extra hard to get on that podium. I know I can do it with some girl power!

What's your favorite TVR Track?

Swiona and Gopher Dunes

What's your favorite thing about the TVR Series or a favorite memory from a TVR Race?

Meeting my best friends, all our sleepovers and hugs. A favourite memory is Winning 1st place overall for the whole season last year and getting huge trophies for it! Being the only GIRL in the top 5 made me really proud. Also, when my sister and I both got first place at Walton, so mom and dad had to let us keep the track kitten, that we named KTM!

In your option what's the most difficult part of this sport?

Missing my moto best friends if they do not come over before the next race, and crashing.

What is something you have learned from riding and racing motocross?

Motocross has taught me so many things and I learn more every time I ride. I learned to never give up and that racing means you get the best friends ever.

What other sports or activities do you do when your not at the track?

I stopped dancing to race, but I still sing and play piano, and I am playing volleyball.

Who's your favorite Rider and why?

Cole Thompson because he is number 16 like me!

What the most Insane & Reckless thing you have ever done?

Getting ran over by 2 big bikes at Gopher on practice day.

Thanks for letting us get to know you Paiton! Do you have anyone you would like to thank?

My mom, dad and big sister always. My moto besties, my Nana and all my friends and family who support me. When you look up at the races and see a hawk flying, that is my Papa watching over us. And my sponsors: Hudson Motorcycles/ OGs/ HMX Moto Co. /DGW Graphics/ Presto Pizzeria.
