Robert Perry

Robert Perry or also known as Bert (Not as in Bert and Ernie) for some. First, I would like to thank the team for giving me the opportunity to race with them. This is definitely an honor and privilege to be racing with you. I will do my part in trying to win points for the team.

At first, this was for my boys only. I wanted them to get into a good sport that I felt they could excel. After being a sideline dad, I had to join the sport. It was easy for me to say, "Just pop a wheelie and you can manual." After buying my Redline cruiser, I realized it was not as easy as it looked. After some time on my bike, I officially started BMX racing on Aug. 26, 2006 with my first local race at Peachtree City, GA in the 35-39 cruiser class. It was a good race for me, because I did not fall and at my age, that is a good thing. Since my first local I have competed in the Spring National at Morristown and a Regional held at William B. Davis. Nationally I am ranked 72nd and I am somehow ranked seventh in the southeast. (I need someone to help me figure out how that happened.)

My goals are simple:
             1) Stay safe.
             2) Be a positive influence on the younger children.
             3) Have children ask me how they can better themselves and work with them.
             4) Be a force to recon with at National events.
             5) Go to the Grands and make it to my main.
             6) Get a sponsor on my own. (I do not want to ride my children’s coat tails.)
