Calib Best #392

“I’m 28 and started riding dirt bikes at age three. It soon took over my life. I ride a YZ250 2-stroke, a YZ450F and race in the Pro Opens/MX1 class. I’m a carpenter by trade, spending my week days working hard and play Oztag for a bit of fun. A big thank you to all the team at City Coast Motorcycles for their ongoing support.”

Luke Brodie #33

“Hi my name’s Luke, I’m 31 years old and ride a YZ450F. I started riding at the age of four and whilst I have always had a bike I only started racing motocross in 2015. I love how physically and mentally tough the sport is but most of all love having fun at the track with mates. In 2018 I finished 2nd overall in the Clubman Open Class of the Wollongong Motorcycle Club Championship and am hoping to improve further. I’m stoked to have the support of City Coast Motorcycles and looking forward to a fun and enjoyable year racing at different local clubs.”

Justin Bush #74

AKA Bushy or Bushwakt. “I started out riding dirtbikes on a Yamaha PW50 in 1980 and haven’t stopped. I’ve been involved with FMX in Australia from writing articles for a few different magazines to commentating FMX demos and competitions. I’m a bit of a clown that needs to grow up, but never will. I am what I am and I respect those that respect others. Through dirtbikes I’ve met so many good people and have taken us on travels all over the world. I’m lucky to work around bikes all day long, and I’m so stoked my old man bought me that PW50 way back… #2BANGERS4LIFE.”

Jake Cobbin #68

“I’m 21 years of age and started riding motorbikes at age three, when my parents bought me your typical first bike, a PW50. I’ve bled blue ever since and currently ride a Yamaha YZ250 2-stroke as well as a YZ450F. I’m a qualified carpenter running my own business for over 2 years now, which I enjoy and I try to make time to train whenever I can. This year my plans for racing are the East Coast MX series, Transmoto events, Hattah Desert Race, possibly MX Nationals and Finke Desert Race. My goals for 2022 are to stay fit, strong, just have fun and enjoy riding my motorbike.”

Luke Dickson #10

“Hi, I’m 19 years old and only became involved in motocross six years ago, but it quickly became my passion and I spend nearly all my free time riding. I started racing at aged 15. My goals for are to continue improving my skills and technique, try my best and to work my way towards the front of the pack with consistent results. In my spare time, I also love wakeboarding and surfing. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the City Coast Motorcycles Race Team – looking forward to a successful and fun year.”

Jason Flanagan #22

“In the beginning I started riding and racing a PW50 at four years old. My brother and I were lucky enough to have a hard working dad who put everything into our racing. We raced club championships, interclub, states and nationals as juniors and travelled the whole east coast of Australia. I’m going to just start my three-year-old on his PW50 and enjoy that experience. This is only possible with a great team and crew behind me, City Coast Motorcycles and my family.”

Tim Fuller #172

“I’ve been riding since I was four, but only became involved in racing motocross from age 15 and I haven’t stopped ever since. I’ve just finished my Civil Engineering degree which has allowed me to spend more time to focus on riding. When I’m not riding my dirt bike, I like wakeboarding, snowboarding and fishing. My goal is to be fit, healthy and consistent for my first year in the Pro Open class with plenty of fast guys to learn from. I’m stoked to be a part of the City Coast Motorcycles team this year and thankful for the support to keep me going racing.”

Darcy Huston #205

“I’m nine years-old and started riding when I was three after watching my big brother at the track. I love dirtbikes and all the fun that it brings. I’m looking forward to racing on the YZ65 and hopefully getting on that podium!”

Toby Huston #206

“I’m 12 years old and I started riding when I was three on a TTR-50. Dirtbikes are my passion and I love every moment of riding. I train every week to excel on my riding ability on my YZ65 and YZ85. My hopes are to win an Aussie title and to one day eventually travel overseas to represent Australia at MXON. I have made so many new friends through racing and looking forward to the years ahead.”

Corey James #88

“2015 was a good year for me, a few up and down moments but ending with some great results. I placed 1st in the East Coast series and taking out the home race at Mount Kembla was a great finish to the series. I also placed 3rd at Round 2 of the State Titles behind Matt Moss and Lawson Bopping which was a great achievement. It was unlucky I was out for Round 1 with a thumb injury. In 2016 I won the first ever 2-stroke Cup, which was held at Mt Kembla. Thank you everyone for the support.”

Mark Merlo #37

“I’m 28, living in Wollongong and currently racing a YZ450F and YZ250 two-stroke. I work as a diesel mechanic for a local construction company. I have been riding dirt bikes since I was 14 and love every minute of it. This year I want to be consistent with my riding and show more positive results at the front of the pack. I’m always up for anything fun: Jetski, fishing, surfing, and I’m always playing around at my buddy’s FMX compound. Big thanks to Tim, Jane and the rest of the team at City Coast Motorcycles and everyone else for their continued support.”

Timothy Sim #40

“My Dad and uncle competed on the international road circuit and I have been around bikes since I was born. I got my first bike – an Ital Jet – at age three. Growing up I raced for 12 years including A-Grade motocross and Supercross. Nowadays I like to mix it up between riding my YZ125 and mountain biking. I’m looking forward to racing at my home track, Mount Kembla this season.”

Liam Williams #196

“I’m 25 years young and dirtbikes is my happy place. Whether I’m racing, coaching, riding FMX or free-riding I’m always smiling and having fun! When I’m not riding I’m working 5/6 days a week operating heavy machinery in construction. 2018 was a pretty down year for me being hurt and having surgery that put me out majority of the season but was lucky enough to ride some FMX at the Mt Kembla 2 Stroke Cup later in the year to get me back on the bike. If you see me at the track come say g’day. Big thanks to the Team at City Coast Motorcycles for the ongoing support.”
