He's got his eyes fixed firmly on a future in motocross (MX) and has had for some time.

"He's obsessed," his dad Miki said.

"Everything is just bike, bike, bike."

The Year 3 student from Tuncurry Public School has been riding motorbikes since he was two and competing since he was five.

In that time his passion for the sport has only gotten bigger and with it have come some great results.

He finished fourth overall in the age 7-9 division of the 2019 East Coast MX Series and ninth at the King of MX State Finals in Nowra.

He's also leading his age division in three separate club championships, with the young rider on track for wins at the Lake Macquarie, Cessnock and Maitland MX clubs.

"He wins more than he loses," Miki said.

"He's got a good trophy stash."

But as good as young Crue is doing, Miki says it's a sport that's both highly competitive and highly demanding.

The pair are on the road nearly every weekend for competitions, with many of them held a long way from the Great Lakes.

Then there's the maintenance, training and expense that comes with it.

"It's a very dedicated sport to be involved in," Miki said.

"It's all-consuming of my life as well."

But like any loving father, Miki is only too willing to support his son, and on the back of the talent Crue has shown he's already picked up a couple of sponsors, with well-known apparel brand Unit sending him products and featuring him in some of their social media posts.

As competitive as the sport is, Miki says it can be quite lucrative for those who make it, with the prospect of racing in the States a goal for every promising young rider.

Mostly though Miki's just proud of the focus his son has shown at such a young age and is happy to keep nourishing it.

"It's awesome to see," he said.

"He knows where he wants to be, he knows where he wants to go."

Not so awesome are the stacks he's had to watch Crue endure, although he says his been lucky compared to others, with the youngster yet to break a bone.

"He's had some rippers," he said.

"There's some anxious moments.

"They're flying, these little kids. But you've got to go with it."
