Travis was 6 years old when his Dad got him into motocross. Travis was playing in the yard with a friend while they were living in Colorado when his Mom called him to the door and his parents surprised him with a PW-50 motorcycle.
The things he enjoys the most about motocross is the time he gets to spend with family & friends as well as the friendly competition.
He picked the bike #111 because that was the number of his previous bikes and he wanted to keep it going.
Travis found out about AZOT from his F-I-L, Brian Perry SR. They were already racing in AZOP when SR saw a post about AZOT on facebook and they all wanted to give it a try so they signed up.
The only OT International race that Travis has participated in was back in 2023 at Motoland. What he enjoyed most was having all the family around.
When I asked Travis how competitive he is when it comes to racing motocross, he said he was a 7 because even though he always wants to win…he still doesn’t want to get hurt.
