Eric was 10 years old when he got his first dirt bike. He poked around on some desert racing but then he started riding motocross when he was about 13 years old. His friend from JR High was racing so they started going to the Deanza track for a few races and then he got hooked.
The things he enjoys the most about motocross is the individuality of the sport because when he gets on the track it’s all up to him and what he does that determines whether he wins or loses.
He didn't actually pick the #202! He took a long break off after an injury when he lived in California and when he got back into racing he went to Glen Helen which was an AMA sanctioned track at the time so the AMA assigned him #202 instead of letting him use his original # which was 74.
Eric was riding with the Over the Hill gang and the SoCal chapter at Glen Helen until a few years ago when he moved to AZ. Soon after he moved here he found out that AZ had a chapter so he joined the club here.
He has raced in 2 AZ Vet International Races and his fondest memory during an Int'l happened last year during the 1st moto…he didn’t do very well so he wasn’t very happy when he got back to the pit. The his fiancé told him that he needed to go out the next day and just have some fun. Well he took her advice to heart and actually got a 1-1 on the next days motos.
When I asked Eric how competitive he is when it comes to racing motocross he said he was an 8 because even though he definitely wants to win 1st place….he will still be happy if he is battling someone else and ends up with a 2nd or 3rd.
