| Vitae - The James Marshall Story |
|
As a young kid I was fascinated by motorcycles in general. I got my first dirtbike at the age of 8, but not after a few four wheelers and my parents trying to talk me out of it. It was a ’91 Yamaha YZ80. Although I thought it was all that and a bag of chips, it was slightly worked. I putted around some trails by the house but soon found out about a local track, “Skeeter.” Not long after I made it out for a Sunday practice. But that was all it took, I had the poison in my veins! I drank, ate and slept motorcycles. In my mind nothing else mattered. The next weekend my dad took me to my first race in Bastrop, TX. It was muddy; I had never ridden the track and ran number 4 to represent my childhood hero, Damon Bradshaw. But no excuses, I was lapped 3 times but despite the embarrassment I thought I did awesome!
