Gabriel is an amateur supercross & motorcross racer from Southeast Kansas. He's in love with this sport and wants to share his joy with others!
Here is most of my 2024 MX & SX schedule, & I hope to add Battle of the Border races. I had high hopes of making it to them all, but my parents think graduating takes priority so I'll miss Great Bend in May. 😜
Huge thanks to my 2023 sponsors, Fly Racing Leatt Protectives BikeGraphix Acerbis USA Mojomotosport.com Mom & Dad, Terry & Janet Lunsford, & Joyce& Frank Garrett! I couldn't do this without you!
First practice since Collarbone 2.0 incident... Happy to be back on the bike!
Park City SX 2023 awards...
Took 2nd in College Boy, 2nd in 250C, and 4th in 450C, plus got a perfect attendance ring! Many thanks to my sponsors Leatt Protectives Fly Racing BikeGraphix Acerbis USA Mojomotosport.com Mom, Dad, Grandpa & Grandma Lunsford, Grandma & Grandma Garrett!
Collarbone... again 😢 Guess my season ended a little earlier than I wanted.
Tearing it up at Bar2Bar in Maize for practice day. Tomorrow is Battle of the Border Race #2 ...KS vs MO! Next-to-last race of the season for me, not ready to park the bike just yet!
KMCS Round #10-Great Bend, KS was crazy cold but productive... Ended the day with 3rd in 250C (good battles with Amarion & Cole), 5th in SchoolBoy, and 3rd in 450C (great battles with Amarion & Takota); mom flagged and worked the admission gate so she made hotel $$, AND I submitted several big scholarship applications while we were thawing out Saturday night!
Great day of KMCS racing at Jeeps! Took 3rd in 250C, 4th in 450C, & 4th in Schoolboy!
Oh ya!
Practice day at Jeeps for KMCS Round #9... Races tomorrow morning! Thanks to my loyal sponsors: Fly Racing , Leatt Protectives , Acerbis USA , BikeGraphix, Mojomotosport.com , Mom& Dad, Grandma & Grandpa Lunsford, & Grandma & Grandpa Garrett - I couldn't do this without you!
Podiums in all 3 classes tonight! 1st in College Boy, 3rd in 250C, & 4th in 450C! Nighttime Nationals was a blast. Time for bed!
Great day of racing, but back to back motos (10, 13, & 16) was rough in 100*... No rest for the weary! I took 4th SchoolBoy, 5th 250C, and 8th in 450C.
Happy to see my friend from OK, Zander, who left in an ambulance ride last time he came to Bar2Bar... leaving with some trophies this time!
Going live in about 5
Blazing hot weekend for KMCS this weekend at Jeeps. I finished 5th in Schoolboy, 3rd in 450C, and 8th in 250C. Clean motos with no wrecks or heat stroke = successful weekend of racing! (111* Saturday; 108* Sunday...zoom in on the picture & you'll see the trophy has the temp at 110*...ironic!)
SEK friends & family: This is my closest race of the year if you're interested in coming out to watch & cheer me on! 4-State Moto is located South of Joplin, North of Neosho. Saturday is practice only, then the races are on Sunday. It's usually about $15/person gate fee, sometimes they are free for over 65 or under 3. Let us know if you're coming & we'll watch for you!
Our next event coming up is the 2023 Battle of the Borders with our friends at 4-State Moto Complex.
This will be round #1 of #2 and we will place the top 5 at each event with the overall top 3 that attend both events at our last round In November.
Looking forward to seeing this amazing facility and awesome race track !!
Great racing, great track@ Jeeps yesterday! Took 6th in 250C, 3rd in 450C, & 2nd in College Boy. Thanks to Patricia Konyha for this great action shot and design!
Recently broken toes and motocross boots don't like each other 🤕. I broke it Saturday morning before the races.
Inman MX ... Practice day!
Raced SX at Jeeps on Saturday, Round #2 of Park City SX Series. I had a great time but unfortunately tweaked my back in Moto #1 of my first class and then took a tumble later in the night so my back is angry with me. Got 7th in School Boy, 6th in 450c & 7th in 250c...not as high on the ranking as I'd like but not shabby for riding hurt. Check out this awesome shot captured by Patricia Konya with Shoot for Beauty Photography, she's awesome! Thanks again to all my sponsors who help make racing a reality
Grabbed a 3rd Place finish in 250C @ Park City Supercross Series Round #1 @ Jeeps! Excited to get back to the track July 15th (SX @ Jeeps), July 22nd (KMCS @ Inman), and July 29th (SX @ Jeeps)! Huge thanks to my sponsors who help make this all possible: Fly Racing, Leatt Protectives, Bike Graphix, Acerbis, mom & dad, Grandpa & Grandma Garrett, & Grandpa & Grandma Lunsford! I appreciate you all!
Please say a prayer for a new friend I met at the races this weekend, Zander, from Oklahoma City area. He had a very bad get-off and left in an ambulance. He's going to have a long and painful recovery ahead of him. 🙏🤢🙏 Hate to see riders go down like that.
KMCS Round #4 today at Bar2Bar in Maize, KS! I'm ready for a great day of racing!
First rider on the track today. The storms last night made it super muddy, but it worked in nice with a few practice rounds
Gearing up for practice day ⛽🏍️🏁....
and Gearing down with Addy ♥️🐕🐾
Heading to Jeeps Club to ride & later the 2021 Park City SX awards banquet! Have pups, will travel!
Ended with 5th Place in 250cc Beginner, that'll be my last Beginner race. Bottom of the pack 16 of 18 with the School Boy group but those riders help me push myself to get better!
I'm holding my favorite photo of the day, they caught me eating it in Moto 1 where I went from 1st to 4th! Zoom in! See ya in 2022!
Done with first motos....
250cc Beginner got the hole shot & led the first 3.5 laps but a bobble & crash in a corner dropped me to 4th place.
School boy got 14th of 18.
Last MX of 2021... Pulled early rounds 2 & 5 at Bar2Bar so it'll be an early day for us. Huge, Gigantic, Uber THANKS to all my season sponsors for supporting my racing dreams.
Season sponsors: Leatt, Fly Racing, Dunlop, Acerbis, Bike Graphix, Joyce & Frank Garrett, Terry & Janet Lunsford, and of course Lunsford Motorsports (aka Mom & Dad)!
