Rider Profile: Taylor Vernon

Throughout this year I will be focusing more on Downhill Racing whilst Motocross is just a way of training and leading up to Downhill, although we will be fitting in as many Moto races as possible. I will be focusing on the British Downhill Series, National Champs and also some IXS Cups such as Innerleithen and I am also hoping to do Leogang and Chatel if possible. I will also be looking at doing as many local races as possible such as WDMBA, MIJ and the Caersws Cup series.


This year I have been taking things a lot more seriously. I hooked up with Alan Milway to help out with training and also went out to Malaga, Spain with the guys at Roost Dh to get away from the rain and get a bit more winter training done. I have set some very high targets for this year which I will be pushing hard to achieve, I am aiming to get a few wins at the BDS rounds and aiming to take the win at National Champs and take the rest as it comes really.


I’d like to thank everyone who has been helping me such as Fox, Scott, BikeIt, Mojo, RoostDh, Maxxis, Juice Lubes, Eyesdown Films, Phunkt also my Family and Friends. These guys are such a big help and are a big part of my riding.
