Loretta’s Build for my boy

Proud dad post, so just bare with me here. This kid started riding dirt bikes at 5, and I just knew there was something there. The problem was, he was terrified to race, wanted no parts of it. Fast forward, 7 years old, met some kids at the local track, worked up the courage to race a harescramble. 6 years and 8 championships later he finally worked up some more courage to race a motocross race (that he swore he had no interest in). That was fall of 2024, a year later in the fall of 2025 he decided to race 2 more mx races after his off road season was done (B200 champion) and he was starting to feel confident but still lacked experience. During the winter offseason (the worst off season weve had since he started riding, hardly any riding at all due to weather), he came to me with a wild idea, I want to go to Loretta’s in 2026. Full of doubt, knowing damn well he doesn’t have the experience for this, I told him that as long as he’s making a solid effort, I’ll support him. Area qualifiers came and went, and it was on to regionals. I blinked my eyes, and before I knew what happened he was a 2x regional champion and now we are well on our way to the ranch. It still feels surreal, all those years of watching Loretta’s with him, watching kids we know and kids we don’t. I could not be more proud of this kid and what he has shown in this sport over the last 8 years. So, when it came time to build him a bike to race, I wanted to put together something he will remember!
