Motorsports
As chixwithtrix, I am an avid motorsport enthusiast – if it has an engine, wheels or a hull I’m ready to go! Stand up jet skis are my passion and I have dedicated my fitness and lifestyle to growing the sport for others while improving my own performance.
I learned to ride in 2016, started racing and never looked back. Having been an athlete most of my life, starting with varsity swimming in high school, leading into motocross, cycling, and now riding stand ups – I want to constantly improve.
Notable achievements:
-2017 Women’s Am Ski Lites 6th overall IJSBA World Finals
-2017 Am Ski Lites 2nd place overall for the season TXH2O racing
-2016 Women’s Limited 8th place finish Moto 1 IJSBA World Finals
-2016 Women’s Limited 1st place overall TXH2O racing
I earned a college degree in video editing and photography, so high-quality media is an important part of my online presence. I’ve produced a multi-part ‘How to Ride a Stand Up’ series on YouTube that already has over 200k views.
Fitness
My chixwithtrix ‘About’ page would not be complete without mention of my fitness and ketogenic diet aspirations. When I started riding stand up jet skis three years ago I realized I was incredibly out of shape. Over these three years, I started weight lifting and CrossFit so enhance my performance on the ski. Between my new found love of stand ups and renewed purpose after knee and back surgery I destroyed my depression, lost over 25lbs, developed a stronger lean form, and started on my ketogenic ‘keto’ diet journey.
My PAO surgery for hip dysplasia and to repair a torn labrum/bone spur in mid-2019 threw a wrench in all of my future plans. No walking for over 6 weeks; sold all of my stand ups, motorcycles, and motorsports projects.
Reptiles
The chixwithtrix intro would not be complete without mentioning reptiles. I was eight years old when I started my reptile ‘rescue’ and was the sole caretaker for my four green iguanas. Of course, my parents had to buy the food, but all of their care was up to me.
That love of reptiles has continued into my adulthood and I have collected quite the family of scaly pets. I hope to grow more in this amazing hobby in the years to come with breeding projects and educating others about how intelligent and rewarding reptiles can be!
