My name is Jacqueline Strong and I am 19 years
old. I’m from Sedona, AZ. My parents and my
older brother got me on a Yamaha PW 50 with
training wheels when I was 18 months old. By the
time I was 3, and could ride without my training
wheels, I started racing locally. Riding was always
a family hobby. We rode any chance we got and it
just became a natural part of my life. After I won
my first national championship in ’05 at the
age of 12, things took off. Sponsorships and
training got more serious. Then I went pro at the
age of 15 in ’08.
Ever since then, my family and I have been
giving everything we have so that I could have the
chance to live my dream. Most people don’t
understand why we continue to sacrifice and risk so
much to race motocross. Honestly I do it because I
love it and there’s nothing like it. I really
don’t think there’s another sport that is
as risky and demands as much physical, mental and
family commitment to succeed. The continuous
challenge is addicting and I believe I was given a
rare talent that shouldn’t be wasted.
I’m going to give it all I’ve got
while I can! Hopefully along the way I can become a
solid podium contender and be an inspiration to
others. The best advice I can give to girls
aspiring to become pro is to realize the magnitude
of dedication it takes before committing. When you
go pro, being fast isn’t enough. You’ve
got to have the whole package and remember it
becomes a business. Best of luck to you all!
