My name is Braeden Ortt, I am from Calgary, Canada, I have twin sisters and I recently turned 16 years old (February 20, 2000). In 2015 I raced in the KTM RC390 Cup through MotoAmerica where I finished in 3rd place overall. I also raced in the KTM CUP World Finals placing 3rd overall and missing out on winning the World Championship by 0.008 of a second. When not racing in MotoAmerica I raced in the CMRA Series in the U.S. and a couple of races in the European Junior Cup. I managed to race a total of 96 races through out the season including several on my 600. I raced in a mini series in 2012 and 2013 on a Honda NSR50 and Metrakit 80cc. Although I have been racing motorcycles for a relatively short period of time, I am going to be moving up and racing in WSS this year. I believe I will be the youngest contender to ever race in this series. I know this will be a tough series and my goal for the first year is to score a few points.
