How long have you been racing and what got you started?

I started learning to ride when I was 4, when my dad bought me my first Honda 50. This is my 3rd year racing and I have moved up in classes after each race year. I am now on my new 65 bike.

What's your goals for the 2024 season?

Last year after lots of hard work I placed in the top of my group, this year I am on a new bigger bike, and I know I must put in the hard work to make gains and get faster. I am known for always being a big supporter of all my fellow riders and that won’t ever change!

What's your favorite TVR Track?

Auburn Hills and Gopher Dunes

What's your favorite thing about the TVR Series or a favorite memory from a TVR Race?

My moto family means the world to me on and off the track, especially our moto girls crew who are inseparable, we became besties for the resties and always support each other no matter what! Having a huge 9th Birthday party at the track with all the moto kids, moto Halloween,and riding at Arenacross 2022 are for sure top memories I will never forget!

In your option what's the most difficult part of this sport?

I tell my friends who do not race that they could never understand how this sport is the worlds most mentally and physically demanding. It was scary for me to recover from a bad fall and injury last year but with all the support I never let it stop me. It is also hard for me when I see other riders crash because I worry about them.

What is something you have learned from riding and racing motocross?

Everyone has races that are not their best, but never stop accomplishing your own goals and stay true to yourself always. It can be just as exciting watching your friends get wins as when you are you on the podium. At Walton last year we had a first all GIRLS podium – me and 2 others and that was a super amazing feeling!

What other sports or activities do you do when your not at the track?

I gave up dance for my love of racing, but I still sing and play guitar and I am also playing volleyball this fall.

Who's your favorite Rider and why?

Aaron Plessinger because he is so skilled, and I love that cowboy!

What the most Insane & Reckless thing you have ever done?

Going off a hill at Walton, being in the hospital and having a serve concussion.

Thanks for letting us get to know you Paisley! Do you have anyone you would like to thank?

My parents the most, everyone from home who travels to watch me race, my Nana, my Papa who watches from Heaven, all my moto family crew of course, all TVR staff who support and challenge us every weekend and my sponsors: Hudson Motorcycles/ OGs/ HMX Moto Co. /DGW Graphics/ Presto Pizzeria.
