Follow me on…

Age: 19 years (09/10/1992)

Home Town: Bonnybridge, Falkirk

First bike: Polini GP Steel 4.2hp

Ambitions: My goals for 2012 are to be competitive at every round and

challenging for podiums regularly.

Likes: Racing anything on wheels, xbox, cycling and fishing.

Dislikes: Losing at anything.

Started racing: I started racing in March 2002. We were at the Scottish

Motorcycle Show and my Dad was looking to get me started in motor cross.

We saw the MMB, (MacIntosh Mini Moto), stand and had a chat with the

guys there. I attended trials three weeks later and was awarded a

sponsored mini-bike for the 2002 season. That was that, I've been racing ever since.

At twelve years old I was a Scottish minimoto champion and at thirteen years of age, I won the Melville Motor Club F125 & East Midlands Racing Association F125 championships. In 2007 I made my debut on a GP125 at the British championship and finished 6th overall in the Dorna Academy Cup. In 2008 I won the British GP125 ACU Academy Cup championship and finished as runner up in the main British GP125 championship. In 2009 I retained my ACU Academy Cup title, becoming the only rider ever to win the championship twice! In 2010 and 2011 I made the move to four stroke bikes, scoring points regularly at national level, winning races at club level.

Race bike: Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R

Favourite Rider: Valentino Rossi, - Wins loads of races and always looks to be enjoying himself. Jorge Lorenzo, Very fast and very determined.
