Hi there, we are the McMillen family. We started riding as a family in late-2015 when my father-in-law, Wayne Gillies, sold me his RMZ450 and gave us his old PW80, which got us started with the adventure we’ve been on ever since.

For context, I started riding dirt bikes as a kid here and there with my father, but the riding was very sporadic and not very often. I first got my taste riding with my dad on his 490 Maico. Then when I was about 8 or 9, I got a YZ80 and my dad would take me to empty fields and let me ride for a little bit here and there. Sometimes, I would get to ride in the hills of Bear Lake, ID. Then my parents divorced and then I got to ride even less and when I did ride, it was on the streets around my house.

It was not until well after my marriage to Keyonna and well after college, that we could afford a dirt bike. Once we got the first, we never looked back and now we have 9 dirt bikes in the garage and my two oldest have their own dirt bikes.

Needless to say, we love riding dirt bikes and have loved all the memories we have made riding dirt bikes. We have had our fair share of injuries due to riding, but thankfully, the injuries are becoming less and less as we get better at riding.
