Simon initially started to race Motocross solo bikes back in 1995 at the tender age of 15. His 5 year career came to an end with a major knee injury sustained whilst racing.

So where did his interest in sidecar racing take hold?

Simon went to the Isle of Man for the first time back in 1997, to compete in 2 motocross events and 2 beach races based in Peel and Douglas and also to support sidecar driver Greg Lambert. Whilst he was recovering from his knee operation, Simon decided that laying down in a sidecar seemed like the next best thing.

Simon started his sidecar racing career in 2000.
