MANILA, Philippines — Big dreams are abound for 10-year-old Filipino-Swiss Julian Suter as he begins his journey of being a motocross racer in Switzerland.
As he lived and breathed motocross since he was five-years-old, Suter wants to be the best of the best in his sport. In an interview with Philstar.com, he wasn't shy on what he wants to achieve.
"I want to be world champion," he said.
Currently, Suter competes in the Schweizer Jugendmotocross Club, where drivers aged five to 20 compete in different categories. He drives in the U12 (65ccm) category.
Despite the increased risk of competing in motocross, the young Fil-Swiss driver has the full backing of his family. In 2017, Suter went on several trial courses in a motocross academy in Switzerland.
Because of his potential, his mother April, and the rest of his family decided that he could continue with the sport as a hobby.
"At first, I felt that he really liked it. I told him that okay, I'm going to give you my 100% support but I also expect from you that you are also going to do your best. It's not an easy sport. But we are just making sure that he is always prepared... Whatever he needs then we are always ready for him." said his mother, who is Filipino.
