Indianapolis, Indiana

My name is Michael Bender. I have been racing motocross for 7 years. My favorite Kentucky track is Daniel Boone MX in London, KY. My favorite Indiana track is Podium One in Charlestown, IN. I also like Red Bud in Buchanan, MI . My favorite subject in school is Social Studies. Besides motocross, I like street rods and RC cars. I also participate in RC car racing and Dance. My favorite pro rider is James Stewart and my favorite amateur rider is John Baker. I plan to ride hard, smart and improve to the best of my potentional in 2005. I do weight training and professional motocross training to help me prepare for competition. There are many memorable moments in the sport of motocross. The most memorable are the wins that I have accomplished. My worst times in motocross have been the DNF's. The riding is the best thing about being a part of the sport. But one of the hardest thing about being a rider is the expense to compete.
