City Coast Motorcycles Wollongong

“I’m 28 and started riding dirt bikes at age three. It soon took over my life. I ride a YZ250 2-stroke, a YZ450F and race in the Pro Opens/MX1 class. I’m a carpenter by trade, spending my week days working hard and play Oztag for a bit of fun. 2018 was a good year for me: I won the Opens and came 2nd in Lites classes at the Nowra pointscore, I finished 3rd in the Opens class and 2nd in the Lites class in the Interclub Challenge, I was 18th overeall in MX1 at the Nationals, then to finish off the year I also won my 250 class and came 2nd in the 500 class at the Mt Kembla 2-Stroke Cup, with 5th in the main event. A big thank you to all the team at City Coast Motorcycles for their ongoing support.”

“Hi my name’s Luke, I’m 31 years old and ride a YZ450F. I started riding at the age of four and whilst I have always had a bike I only started racing motocross in 2015. I love how physically and mentally tough the sport is but most of all love having fun at the track with mates. In 2018 I finished 2nd overall in the Clubman Open Class of the Wollongong Motorcycle Club Championship and am hoping to improve further. I’m stoked to have the support of City Coast Motorcycles and looking forward to a fun and enjoyable year racing at different local clubs.”

“I started out riding dirtbikes on a Yamaha PW50 in 1980 and haven’t stopped. I’ve been involved with FMX in Australia from freelance writing articles for a few different magazines  to commentating FMX demos  and competitions. I’m a bit of a clown that needs to grow up, but never will. I am what I am and I respect those that respect others. Dirtbikes have made me meet so many good people and have taken us on travels all over the world. I’m lucky to work around bikes all day long and it’s something that I’m so stoked my old man bought me that PW50 way back… #2BANGERS4LIFE.”

“I’m 21 years of age and started riding motorbikes at age three, when my parents bought me your typical first bike, a pee wee 50. I’ve bled blue ever since and currently ride a Yamaha YZ250 2-stroke as well as a YZ450F. I’m a qualified carpenter running my own business for over 2 years now, which I enjoy and try to make time to train whenever I can. 2021 was not much of a year of racing due to COVID lockdowns, but I managed to do a couple of MX Nationals rounds competing in MX1 for the first time, the East Coast MX Series which i managed multiple top 5 overalls and also various Transmoto events. My highlight for 2021 would’ve been 3rd overall in MX2 at the King of MX state titles. This year my plans for racing are the East Coast MX series, Transmoto events, Hattah Desert Race, possibly MX Nationals and Finke Desert Race. My goals for 2022 are to stay fit, strong, just have fun and enjoy riding my motorbike.”

“Hi, I’m 19 years old and only became involved in motocross six years ago, but it quickly became my passion and I spend nearly all my free time riding. I started racing at aged 15. I finished in 2^nd place in the Junior Lites at Kembla in 2017 and 2^nd place in the Senior Lites Clubman at Nowra in 2018. I placed 2^nd in the 2019 Clubman Lights Interclub Series. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 last year, there wasn’t many opportunities to race so I focused on training and improving my riding skills. This year I’ll be racing my new 2021 Yamaha YZ250F (which I just purchased from City Coast Motorcycles) in local club rounds at Kembla, Nowra, Appin, Amcross and East Coast MX Series. My goals for are to continue improving my skills and technique, try my best and to work my way towards the front of the pack with consistent results. In my spare time, I also love wakeboarding and surfing. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the City Coast Motorcycles Race Team – looking forward to a successful and fun year.”

“In the beginning I started riding and racing at four years old (a PW50). My brother and I were lucky enough to have a hard working dad who put everything into our racing. We raced club championships, interclub, states and nationals as juniors and travelled the whole east coast of Australia. My goal for 2022 coming off a big injury is doing a few club rounds and I’m hoping the VMX championship at THE heaven / VMX nationals if my back holds up. I’m going to just start my three-year-old on his PW50 and enjoy that experience. This is only possible with a great team and crew behind me, City Coast Motorcycles and my family.”

“Hi, I’m 23 years of age racing in the Pro Open Class for 2021 on my YZ450F. I’ve been riding since I was four, but only became involved in racing motocross from age 15 and I haven’t stopped ever since. I’ve just finished my Civil Engineering degree which has allowed me to spend more time to focus on riding. When I’m not riding my dirt bike, I like wakeboarding, snowboarding and fishing. This year I’ll be racing the East Coast MX and Dirt Action Amcross series, with Club rounds at Nowra, Wollongong and Appin in between. My goal is to be fit, healthy and consistent for my first year in the Pro Open class with plenty of fast guys to learn from. I’m stoked to be a part of the City Coast Motorcycles team this year and thankful for the support to keep me going racing.”

“Hi, I’m eight years old and currently ride a Yamaha YZ65. I started riding when I was four on a Pee Wee 50. I love riding and spending weekends at the track with my Mum, Dad and brother Lennox. I’ve recently got my race licence, so I am keent to get racing! I love MX, SX and FMX! My biggest idol is Vicki Golden. When I grow up I want to be a freestyle rider.”

“I’m nine years-old and started riding when I was three after watching my big brother at the track. I love dirtbikes and all the fun that it brings. I’m looking forward to racing on the YZ65 and hopefully getting on that podium!”

“I’m 12 years old and I started riding when I was three on a TTR-50. Dirtbikes are my passion and I love every moment of riding. I train every week to excel on my riding ability on my YZ65 and YZ85. My hopes are to win an Aussie title and to one day eventually travel overseas to represent Australia at MXON.  I have made so many new friends through racing and looking forward to the years ahead.”

“I’m 12 years old and Im from the Hawkesbury area in Sydney. This is my third season on the City Coast Motorcycles team. I had a good start to the 2020 season but unfortunately broke my leg in June which resulted in four months off the bike. I worked real hard to get back and I’m more ready than ever for 2021. I’ll be racing my YZ85 at the East Coast MX Series, Two-Stroke Cup, King of MX and the AJMX Junior Nationals. I’m very grateful for the support from the City Coast team. I have made so many great friends in this sport. I love meeting new people so If you see me at the track come say, “hi”.

“2015 was a good year for me, a few up and down moments but ending with some great results. I placed 1st in the East Coast series and taking out the home race at Mount Kembla was a great finish to the series. I also placed 3rd at Round 2 of the State Titles behind Matt Moss and Lawson Bopping which was a great achievement. It was unlucky I was out for Round 1 with a thumb injury. In 2016 I won the first ever 2-stroke Cup, which was held at Mt Kembla. Thank you everyone for the support.”

“Hi everyone. I’m15 years-old and for 2019 I will be competing in the Junior Lites 125cc & 250cc classes on board my Yamaha YZ125 & YZ250F. I will be racing mostly local club rounds and the Dirtaction Amcross series. I’m hoping for a fun season and to keep my results inside the top ten. I am stoked to be a part of the City Coast MX Team again and I cant thank the crew at City Coast Motorcycles enough for their support, as always. If you see me around come say g’day.”

“I’m 28, living in Wollongong and currently racing a YZ450F and YZ250 two-stroke. I work as a diesel mechanic for a local construction company. I have been riding dirt bikes since I was 14 and love every minute of it. This year I want to be consistent with my riding and show more positive results at the front of the pack. I will be doing the Transmoto 12 hour and a few other Transmoto events
and racing in the WMCC Championship. I’m always up for anything fun: Jetski, fishing, surfing and always playing around at my buddy’s FMX compound. Big thanks to Tim, Jane and the rest of the team at City Coast Motorcycles and everyone else for their continued support.”

“My Dad and uncle competed on the international road circuit and I have been around bikes since I was born. I got my first bike – an Ital Jet – at age three. Growing up I raced for 12 years including A-Grade motocross and Supercross. Nowadays I like to mix it up between riding my YZ125 and mountain biking. I’m looking forward to racing at my home track, Mount Kembla this season.”

“I’m 25 years young and dirtbikes are my happy place. Whether I’m racing, coaching, riding FMX or free-riding I’m always smiling and having fun! When I’m not riding I’m working 5/6 days a week operating heavy machinery in construction, 2018 was a pretty down year for me being hurt and having surgery that put me out majority of the season but was lucky enough to ride some FMX at the Mt Kembla 2 Stroke Cup later in the year to get me back on the bike. For 2021 I’m hoping to stay healthy, in one piece and really focusing on my coaching as well as racing some local rounds of MX, Transmoto events and practicing speedway.  if you see me at the track come say g’day. Big thanks to the Team at City Coast Motorcycles for the ongoing support.”
