Ty is our 11 year old son that is very involved in trials and riding in general.  He began riding a Honda XR 50 at age 4.  When he was 5 he got a Beta 50 minitrial and began riding the kids trials here in Southern California.  That same year was the inaugural West Coast Youth Trials Championship and he was able to win the 7&under Championship.

In 2005 at age 6 we hauled Ty back to the Youth Trials National Championships at the Trials Training Center in Tennessee.  He put in three great days worth of riding and won the 6&under national title. He was also lucky enough to make the cover of the Trials Competition magazine. 

Since then he has been working hard and progressing through the ranks.  He has now won six national championships and five western championships.  

At age 8 Ty finished 3rd in the SoCal Novice series, At age 9 he finished 2nd in the Sportsman class and at age 10 he finished second in the Intermediate class for the season taking two wins,  one while he was still 9 years old and the other he had a perfect 0 score! This while competing against adults. For the 2009-2010 season Ty won two events in the clubman class and despite breaking his wrist in the middle of the season he won the series championship!

Besides trials Ty also enjoys riding motocross on his Yamaha YZ 125.  Along with his motorcycle activities he loves to go fishing as well as hunting with his Grandpa.  He has yet to decide if he wants to be a professional motorcycle rider or a fisherman.
