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.
