Bill Ballance, with a record nine Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) XC-1 Pro Championships, is widely considered to be the best ATV Off-Road racer of all time having held the top GNCC title from 2000-2008.
In 2012, Ballance will be managing the Ballance Racing team including Taylor Kiser and Walker Fowler in GNCC, as well as Thomas Brown in ATVA/AMA National Motocross racing.
When you start riding at the age of four, it becomes a way of life, as it did for Ballance. Although he began his off-road adventures on two wheels, he soon found ATVs more to his liking and began focusing on four wheelers at the ripe old age of seven. At 14, he began racing local MX races and at 18 he turned pro – the rest, as they say, is ATV racing history.
As a veteran top competitor and record-holding champion, Ballance continues to lead Yamaha’s ATV cross country efforts with more than a decade of winning experience.
