About Me
I'm Suzi, but most people either know me as "Spencer's Wife", or "Sean,Lauren,Sami or Dylan's Mom". I'm originally from Tucson, spent a lot of time in Orange County growing up, and moved there about 11 years ago. Summer of 2007 we moved to North Carolina, north of Charlotte. My oldest son Sean, now 23 has been racing since he was 5 in AZ and CA. My daughters both ride, and the youngest Dylan now 11 rides his KX65, and racing BMX for the last year and a half. He's been riding both since he was 2-1/2. So my kids have grown up in the middle of a track. I used to have a MX track in my front yard that a lot of the locals would hang out at. I'd also transport a lot of them to races with us, or practice in the middle of some God foresaken patch of Tucson, Eloy, Casa Grande, Sierra Vista..lol I took up photography, after getting sick and having to take a break from riding, partly out of frustration..that hobby ended up becoming a trackside business, Fast Boyz LLC, up until it began to interfere with my own MX racing. I won a series in AZ, the women's class, before moving out here to Cali. After moving to Cali, I'd just ride for fun, or to teach kids/adults how to ride. 4 yrs ago I ruptured L5 and S1 disks in my back, reaching for a grocery bag, not a mx injury, so I'm once again sidelined. After almost 13 years at Kawasaki, my husband Spencer took a leap after being asked if he'd like to help build the Joe Gibbs Racing Motocross team. Needless to say, lots of major changes these last few years. The Gibbs families have been great. North Carolina is gorgeous, seeing all of the seasons change is a dramatic change from California, but a nice one. The team is always a work in progress. The riders are great. I've known Josh and his folks since he and my son Sean were on PW50s at the World Mini's, and Starwest. If I couldn't find Sean, I'd just look for Josh. It's great to see how far he's come. Justin Brayton is new to the team this year, but he's a nice guy. Quiet, and serious when it comes to practicing. He's determined. He's capable, and is starting to understand how fast he really is. There's a definite teamwork operation at JGR MX, and with the new retail end of the line. The riders are getting dialed in for the outdoors series. I'm stoked to see so many other women on VitalMX with similar stories..interests. I tend to be very friendly and outgoing and ramble when it comes to bikes and racing..so don't mind me..lol
