Tell me about yourself. Who are you? How old are you? What class do you currently race? When did you start racing? How did you start racing? Etc.

My name is "Hurricane" Hannah Leakey. I am 15 years old, I race 15-16 Expert Girls and 15-16 Girls Cruiser. I started riding when I was 5 years old and racing when I turned 6. I started riding to get better at riding my motorcycle, but I fell in love with the sport and haven't looked back. My dad found out about BMX from a guy he worked in the fire department with. We went to watch his sons race at Black Mountain on a Friday night, and after that, I begged my dad to let me try it until eventually he did.
