Member of the Week: Milo Juliar

Written By: Jackie Riess

Milo Juliar is a young District 23 ARMCA member that began racing motocross in 2020 on his 1999 PW50. His parents soon knew this wouldn’t be enough bike for him, and they surprised him with a new KTM SX Mini last July. He now competes in the Oil Injected and Multi-Speed classes in motocross, and also enjoys hare scrambles and enduro racing.

Milo loves to see his moto friends on race weekends, and enjoys riding bicycles and playing football with them! At home, he likes to go swimming and wakeboarding with his neighbors in the summer, and in winter, he enjoys wrestling practice and ice fishing with his dad. Milo’s perfect day would be waking up at Spring Creek MX Park, riding his bicycle (and of course building jumps), racing his dirt bike, and going for a swim in the creek after his race. His perfect day might even include his favorite race day treats: cinnamon rolls, bananas, and homemade venison jerky.

The greatest accomplishment of Milo’s maturing career was just this spring when he won his first race! He came off the track quickly asking, “I think I just got first place?!” He couldn’t believe it and was shocked by the big trophy he received at the end of the night.

Milo enjoys practicing at Cedar Lake Arena in the winter, and in 2021 he strives to go back there and clear more of the jumps. He is inspired by lots of Minnesota racers, including his father and Ryan Dungey. He continues to ride and race in District 23 ARMCA because of the quality time he gets to spend with friends and family, and how much fun he has learning new tracks. Milo has learned valuable life lessons through racing, and advises other racers to “try [their] best to get back up and finish the race” if they have a crash. And of course, “have fun!”
