Hey Parker, how’s 2018 rounding up for you?
2018 is rounding up to be a great year for me. As many know, motocross has many ups and downs. Thankfully 2018 has gone my way. So far, I have won 2 championships at Mini O’s, 2 championships at Freestone, and 1 championship at Lorettas. I’ve worked really hard this year, and I’m glad to see it pay off.

What do you have planned for the rest of the year?

My training will resume at MTF in a couple of weeks where I will be practicing supercross. I will be racing Monster Cup 2018 in October. After that, I will be going back to MTF to gear up for MiniO’s in November where I am planning to race the A class.

What are you most excited about next year?

I am excited for next year because racing the pro class has always been a dream of mine. I am looking forward to shredding with the big boys!

Are you in school now? How do you balance school and racing?

Yes, I use the Abeka curriculum since I have to be homeschooled. I try to get a couple lessons in before I ride, then I have to finish my school after I get done training for the day. Also, I take full advantage of my down time (after nationals) to work ahead or get caught up.

Do you have any race rituals or superstitions?

No, no race rituals or superstitions. I like to listen to music before I race because it helps to clear my head.

If you could ride with anyone in the world, who would you want to ride with and where?

If I could ride with anyone in the world, I would ride with James Stewart. After all, I wear his gear, and I have always had respect for his talent. I’ve been lucky enough to ride at his compound, and I would love the opportunity to go back.

What do you think your favorite place you’ve traveled has been to?

My favorite place that I have traveled to would have to be Paris, France. My family and I went there in 2012 when I raced for the USA in the World Championship in Bulgaria.

Any last thanks you or shout outs?

I would like to thank all of my sponsors for allowing me to pursue my dreams. Also, I would like to thank Monster Army for choosing me to be the athlete of the week.
