realMotocross is thrilled to announce
Tevin
Tapia, a California native, will
be joining our team for the 2012 West
Coast Lites season! The feeling is
mutual, Tevin said, “
I’m proud
to be a part of something that is
giving back to our sport and great
people behind it” when asked
about his feelings towards joining
the team.
Tevin has been riding all his life,
growing up on the track as the son
Rod Tapia, professional rider who
along with Ricky Carmichael inspired
Tevin to become a pro rider as well.
He got his first bike at age three
and as an amateur won 5 championships
and national number 70 for the 2011
season.
With favorites like Carmicheal, Stewart
and McGrath its no surprise Tevin
loves to ride. When we asked him why
he loved it Tevin replied, “It's
in my blood and the most fun thing
I’ve ever done, going fast and just
making people amazed when you ride!
Throwing whips is a great feeling
as well!”
