Meet the Team
Kyle Gervais #26

"I was tired of standing on the sidelines just watching, I wanted to participate. I started racing in August of 2010 in a 7300 truck. 2014 was my first motorcycle race with BITD at the Vegas to Reno. Been riding dirt bikes since I was 6 years old at the farm in Oregon. Yes, I was bitten with the bug at a very young age."
