MEET THE ATHLETE: JYE DICKSON

Beta Australia has intensified its racing efforts in 2024, showcasing a variety of racers across a range of disciplines aboard Beta’s impressive motorcycles. Over the next few weeks, we’ll introduce you to some of Beta’s Australian athletes. This week, get to know Jye Dickson.

Give us your vital stats.

My name is Jye Dickson, I’m 24 years old from Newcastle, NSW.

When did you start riding and when did you start competing?

I started riding when I was 5 years old. I began racing flat track straight away and then moved over to motocross a year later.

What has your most memorable achievement been so far in your racing career?

It would probably be getting an equal 4th outright and 3rd in my class in my first year doing the AORC series.

How long have you been racing Enduro, and how are you finding it and what made you make the switch?

For a year and a half now, with last year being my first full season. Enduro rekindled my passion for dirt bikes. After four years of racing ProMX mixed with some injuries and the COVID-19 situation, I definitely got burned out and needed a change.

You’re new to the Beta Motorcycles Australia Team, how did the relationship come about?

This is my first year riding for Beta Australia. Ash Martin (Race Team Manager) approached me at the final round of AORC last year, saying he’d like to get me on a Beta for 2024. After talking to some people and hearing all the good reviews and success they have in the EnduroGP, it was an easy decision.
