If you haven’t heard the name Benny Bloss you better goggle it, because after the rides this kid but in at Whitney and Oak Hill he is going to be a name you want to remember. After a breakthrough performance in Texas, Bloss is flying high heading into regionals and is going to be a force to be reckoned with come Loretta’s. We caught up with Benny to talk Whitney and Oak Hill and his plans for Loretta’s. CHECK IT OUT…….

 

Benny, first off start out by introducing yourself to the Vurb Community?

My name is Benny Bloss and I am 12-years-old from Oakgrove, Missouri

 

Before this year at Whitney and Oak Hill you were a relative unknown, but you tore it up at both races. Take us back and tell us how you felt about those races?

I felt really good because it was the best I have ever done at a national and I worked really hard with my trainer going to the gym and riding everyday. I was just really happy with the results. I think it really helped by going to train in Texas for three weeks before the races.

 

You looked as fast as anybody on the track at Whitney and Oak Hill, tell us how you think you stack up against the rest of your class going into the rest of the season?

I just think that if I train as hard as I was before Whitney and Oak Hill, I’ll have a really good chance at winning.

 

After solid rides in Texas you decide to skip out on Vegas. Tell us what went into that decision on why you decided not to race in Sin City?

Partly because my parents own there own business and it’s really hard for them to be away for that long. I really wanted to come back and train hard for Loretta’s because it’s my goal to podium if not win at Loretta’s.

 

How is the rest of the season shaping up for you? Are you going to be at Mammoth or Ponca?

I won’t be at Mammoth. But we have not made a decision yet for Ponca. Right now I’m just training like crazy for regionals. I’m hoping to stay healthy, ride and train everyday.

 

How are you preparing for Loretta’s this year, as far as training and what qualifiers you are expecting to race at?

Just going to the gym and riding everyday. I’ll be at the North Central and South Central for qualifiers.

 

Now that we have the serious part of the interview out of the way we are going to switch it up a bit by finding out a little more about you. Sound good to you.

Yeah

 

Other than motocross what are your favorite hobbies?

I like to skateboard and bicycle.

 

Who are some of your main riding buddies?

Usually Tanner Stack and his brothers and Bradley Taft, that’s about it.

 

When traveling to the races, who makes up your crew?

Mom and Dad. Sometimes my grandma and brother go as well.

 

Where is your favorite place to ride?

Mini O’s

 

Worst place to ride?

Probably Oak Hill

 

Benny thanks for taking the time out to introduce yourself to the Vurb Community would you like to thank anyone before I let you go?

Yeah, my parents, my brother, all of my sponsors, especially Rock River because I wouldn’t have the bikes I have right now if it wasn’t for them
