Axel Elliott in action and on the move!
Axel Elliot at just five years of age is going places. A typical five year old, he enjoys playing with kids his age and getting dirty; getting dirty on the race track that is.
While most kids are busy on their computers and phones, Axel enjoys spending time on his bike practicing on the makeshift course at his parent’s house in West Freedom.
As the saying goes “find something you love to do”. For Axel his love of racing began at the age of 1.5 and you could say it has become a passion for him.
