Doing it
the hard way
No blank cheque and nothing handed over. A shed, two bikes, and a plan I wrote down and signed.
The story
I am a motocross racer based in Central Victoria, racing a Yamaha YZ250 in MX2 and a YZ450 in MX1, in WBR Motorcycles — Bulk Nutrients colours.
I am not a factory-funded prodigy and I have never pretended to be. I am a young rider balancing work with a race program, paying for most of it myself, and learning the expensive lessons in public. That is the whole story, and it is the reason it is worth following — because it is the same story as most of the people reading this.
Most of the work happens in a shed, not on a track. Rebuilding a top end on a Tuesday night, chasing a setup that will not come good, working out how to pay for the next round. That part does not make highlight reels, and it is most of the job.
I race two bikes in two classes — the 250 in MX2 and the 450 in MX1. That is partly circumstance and partly deliberate, because each one teaches you something the other hides. The 250 punishes a lazy gear choice and makes you carry corner speed. The 450 will cover a mistake with power, which is exactly why it is the worst bike to learn a bad habit on. Moving between them keeps you honest, and back-to-back motos in both is the hardest day in the sport.
What I am building is straightforward: get properly fast, film it honestly, coach the riders coming up behind me, and back it with a brand people actually want to wear. Some of it is already working. The rest is the next two years.
What I stand for
Three rules
Show the bad days
Crashes, blown motors, weekends that went nowhere. Nobody learns anything from a highlight reel and nobody believes one either.
Earn the logos
I will not wear a brand I would not spend my own money on. That is worth more to a sponsor than another sticker on a fender.
Take the next rider with you
Everything I get shown, I pass on. That is what the coaching is — not a side hustle, the actual point.
