ing Supermini part-time in the 2024
season] when I was racing for the
championship, so it was hard to
manage trying to practice on one
bike the whole year. Last year was a
bit of a hiccup with all my crashes,
and this year I finally started training.
I'd never trained before, so I started
training one month before the WMX
opening round, and it's helped a lot.
More time on the bike helped me
with my crashes. After the first three
rounds, I put in the work, and it defi
-
nitely paid off.
Did your time at ClubMX help
your
technique, or was that already there and you just
polished out the mistakes?
My technique was already there; I just needed
more bike time to help me iron out the crashes. I
used to just ride on the weekends when I could.
More bike time and riding with people that are
faster and pushing me made me become faster.
How about bike setup and things like that? Is
there anything more you've been able to learn?
We figured out I need a seat bump to help me
so I don't sit too far back in the corners. I'm so
little, so I just slide back.
Talk about the WMX series and the growth
they've had during the time you've been racing.
It's actually good. This year, they were talking
about not even having it on Saturday. Our races
were on Fridays before the National. But then we
had a weather problem at Thunder Valley and
got rained out, so they had to squeeze us into
