History of Katryna Angle…
I started racing June of 98. My brother had raced for about a year and I wanted to try it out myself. Watching all the kids fly by, my eyes amazed me. I knew it was the sport for me. My dad bought me a bike and I signed up. My first race I got stuck with 7 guys my age. Knowing I was going to get my butt kicked I still went out and tried my hardest. First round I was out in front, I had no control over my bike and went over a jump and didn’t quite land right. I flew over the handle bars, hit the ground and 7 guys piled on top of me. After getting all the bikes, and guys off me, I was all right, just in shock. I picked my bike up and realized it was broken and I was no longer able to race that night. Matt Wind, a somewhat good pro at the time offered me his bike to finish off the night. Although it weighed as much as I did, it worked. I went out and raced at took fourth place in the main event. Even though you only get trophy’s 1st 2nd and 3rd they gave...
