Jeremy on the Desoto Motorsports Park's Bryce Norwood memorial race: (where he won the Lites B Int, MX Open Amateur, MX B Int, and Lites Open Amateur classes)

(White text-Jeremy Domingue)
oh man the day went really good. turned out to be a good weekend.  i got some good riding in and got to battle with some fast guys. i was pretty happy that i didn't have any problems since i was out there by myself. the track was super good this weekend. i have been up here for a few other camps and the track never even came close to this. it was ridiculous how rough it got just in those two days. the dirt there is just sweet, it is just covered in natural sand.

 

On the Golden Pines MX the following weekend:

we went out to golden pines for the mississippi state championship and it was just awesome.  thats the first time i have been out there since i got life flighted out of there.  i knocked myself silly about a year ago or so there.  they changed the track and it was definitely a good change. i signed up for the 125 B, 450B, schoolboy, and the 4 stroke amateur class. i ended up winning the overall in every class. i won a total of 7 motos and of 8. it was a really good weekend and its a big confidence booster going into the NMA national in Branson Missouri.

 

On training and practicing:

i try to ride and practice every chance i can get. if i can throw my leg over a dirtbike i most definitely will. i try and go the gym at least twice a week and get my training in everyday if i can. cardio is a big thing in motocross. i do a number of things for my training.

when i go to the gym i mainly focus on my legs because you use them so much when you race motocross or just riding a dirtbike. for my training i either roadbike, run, swim laps, or run stairs.

i have just started swimming and that is a great workout. if i would have to pick out of those four i would pick swimming. its not as boring as the others and it works your upper body and lower body.

 

 

 

On how he got into MX:

i started riding when i was four years old. so as of now i have been riding for 13 years. i started out on a old Z 50. the shifting was completely different. you had to shift down to go faster and up to go slower. my dad had built some training wheels and had welded them to the swingarm. it was pretty sweet. my dad was the one who first got me into racing. i remember him bringing me out to the track and i was like man, this is awesome. next thing you know i had me a dirtbike.

On bikes:

  i started out on a honda and then i moved to a yamaha PW 50. after that i got a KTM 50 and i rode those until i got on to kawasaki 60's. when i got on 80's i got a honda and its been all honda since. i really like the bikes they are very dependable and they will last a long time with the right maintenance.

i don't know if i would every switch unless someone offered me some money or something. 

 

Racing Goals:

  my goals for the upcoming years are pretty simple. i would like to win a amateur title first of all. that would just be awesome.
i want to get my pro license and try out the whole national and motocross thing. if that doesn't go so well i would like to do some of the canadian nationals. i have heard some really good stuff about those. i am just gonna work really hard these next few years and whatever happens happens. 

 

On homeschool & college:

i started homeschooling about a year and a half ago. its going really well for me. i have so much more time to get my riding and training in. it makes the whole training and everything easier. instead of having to go to school and only have a few hours to ride or train, i have plenty of time. some days i can train and ride which is really great.

i just turned 17 in august and i plan on going to UL. i plan on getting a degree in a field in engineering. i am not sure what field in engineering yet but it might be what my stepdad does.
