We would love to introduce Billy McCulloch as our newest Force Family member.
The 20-year-old hails from Gippsland, Victoria. Billy has spent his whole life riding and works full time as a Boilermaker.
“I began riding at age 3 but really found a love for bikes at the age of 12. If I’m not waking up every Sunday morning to watch motocross, I’m waking up to go riding. I can remember being a kid staying up until 3 in the morning watching the Erzberg livestream. I have always loved this sport.”
Billy began racing at age 14 in the Vic off road series, he competed here for 3 years, with his two biggest achievements through that period being winning the U19 B grade championship and coming 2nd in Wildwood Extreme Bronze Class.
With the launch of the Grassroots AHEC, Billy decided to make a change and focus specifically on hard enduro, training every week on and off the bike. 2020 was somewhat of a rebuilding year, after a year and a half off the bike due to injury.
However Due to so many Covid lockdowns, Billy was able to attend the one race at the end of the year, Wildwood Rock, where he won silver class.
Through 2021 Billy made the step-up to gold class, where he was able to progress further while in and out of lockdowns, including 17th place at Kozzi Killer, 5th at Mount Morgan and 2nd place at Dederang Deadzone.
After a broken Fibular whilst training for the upcoming state and national series, Billy missed the first 3 VIC rounds and the first 2 Aussie Rounds, however, has managed to get himself over to Romania and ride Romaniacs. Romaniacs was a dream of his since he was a kid and he finished with an amazing 19th overall in Silver Class. Billy has high hope’s of attending more international races such as Erzberg and Sea to sky – Watch out, Billy’s on his way!
We are proud to have Billy onboard, and look forward to watching and supporting him over the coming years.
