Ricky Pataky #52 - Motocross


I have been riding dirt bikes, in the woods for 30 years. I bought my first bike from Mike Day, my close friend, for $300.00 in 1976, it was an yz-80. I Rode it hard thanks MIke.. I bought my first “Green Machine” in 1981, and haven’t looked back. The KX is an Extreme Machine for an Extreme Sport! Started riding motocross in 2007, and joined District 6 and hold an AMA card. Started racing in 2008. My racing record includes - top point holder in the Atco Raceway’s - 12 Race Series in Atco, New Jersey. With a first moto crash and a 2nd moto 1st place. Got 2nd over all in Wildwood, NJ. I qualified for the Tri-State Championship Series Race at Raceway Park, Englishtown, New Jersey. Raced Walden MX Track in Wallkill, New York. Placed 2nd in first of three motos. Second moto - crashed out, DNF. This was my first time on this track, and was taking numbers, until the mishap in the rhythm section, caused by the rider in front of me. 3 weeks later, still recovering from my injuries. I’m on a Mission for the 2009 Motocross Season. I‘m going to race the District 6, Championship, Sweep the Atco Raceway Series, and win the Tri-State Series Championship. I train at several tracks in the tri-state area. I will be attending the Davey Millsap’s Training Facility in Georgia in early spring to sharpen my skills. I am looking forward to the 2009 training and racing season. I will be riding with and against top riders in my division. Plans change a little, just found out that my first year, I got pushed up to A class. Wow if my dad only knew what I had, back in the day... One year on the track and I'm in the money races...
