Major delved into dirt biking in the spring of 2020, amid the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. It provided a sense of freedom and escape from the restrictions that enveloped so many other aspects of life. Starting out with a KTM 65, Major rapidly honed his skills, mastering the use of a clutch in just one day. His commitment to training and racing intensified in his inaugural year of riding. 2022 marked a turning point as Major commenced training under the guidance of Dan Callahan, propelling his journey to a new level. Making the transition to an 85cc, Major fearlessly entered the 85cc 9-11 class at the tender age of 9, achieving commendable results. However, misfortune struck at a race due to inadequate track maintenance, resulting in severe injuries including a full tear of his ACL and MCL, along with a slight tear in his meniscus. Despite these setbacks, Major valiantly completed all of his races, securing a remarkable 15th place finish while injured. Following surgery to repair his torn ACL, Major’s indomitable spirit shone through as he graduated from 5th grade in a wheelchair just two days later. Enduring seven months of rigorous rehabilitation, Major refused to be deterred, recommencing his training in January to mount a remarkable recovery in 2023. Despite the obstacles, Major’s determination prevailed, achieving a top 5 placement in his class and ultimately clinching 3rd place in his D2, a notable triumph. And now, as he looks ahead to the future, Major is gearing up to compete in the 85cc 12-15, Junior Mini, and Super Mini classes in the upcoming year.
One year ago, Major was facing surgery and a long road to recovery after tearing his ACL. After months of grueling physical therapy, school, and pure determination, he finally got the green light to race again this September—and he didn’t waste a second!
