Patrick Hannah’s OVERVIEW

 

Of all the milestones Patrick Hannah has reached, beginning riding dirt bikes at 3 ½ and started racing at 12 years old when most others have started at racing at 4 years old and have been prepped by the motorcycle industry, and with trainers we could never afford at that time. It seems least notable—to him, anyway when you consider everything the 18-year-old has accomplished for starting late in his career.

 

The athlete many call “Pattyboy357” has made a great impression in the amateur sport by the little time he has had to get where he is today. Patrick has one more step to move up to pro by end of 2014. Patrick has made a name for himself and has his Marketing Partners to help support his life dream.

 

FIRST MOTO’S AT THREE AND A HALF

 

Both Patrick’s parents raced PRO in there day and loved motorcycles so much that once Patrick turned 3 ½ they bought his first bike, a Yamaha 50cc but did not start racing until he was 12 years old. His first race was a Spring Series on 03/08/2008; at Starwest in Perris, California, riding a Honda 150cc age group 12-13. He won his first amateur career race (1ST place). Patrick’s father and mother taught his son from the beginning and Patrick soon developed a smooth/awesome riding style.

 

As Patrick continues to accumulate his wins with the coaching of his parents and well know motocross coaches and trainers he has been very consistent in the top 5 in locale races and top 10 in championships.

 

DEMANDING SPORT AND THEIR INJURIES

 

Winning races at that young age came easily to Patrick, but it doesn’t come without cost, the older and faster you get the harder the falls become —and a fat bill at the doctor’s office. A demanding and dangerous sport it is, Patrick has struggled with injuries throughout his amateur career like many other racers in this sport, it has left him with broken bones that force him to sit out for times up to 6 to 8 months but gets back up and brushes the dirt off and pushes on to the next level.

 

Patrick’s father says Patrick is a true competitive athlete and that rather than mentally and physically derailing him, his injuries have actually helped him focus, made him a better rider and made him realize how much he loves riding during those 8 months of healing. When Patrick comes back each time from his injuries even more formidable than he was before.
