Namura Technologies Member of the Week: Ella Storlie

The Roots

Ella Storlie started riding dirt bikes at 10 years old. A year later, she joined District 23 ARMCA and competed in several events here in Minnesota. She now competes in the Open C and Women’s classes in motocross, where she placed in the top ten overall in both classes in 2021! 2021 also brought Ella to her first Women’s class win, which was an exciting accomplishment for her racing career. In 2022, Ella has goals of finishing in the top three overall in the Women’s class here in District 23 ARMCA.

Ella enjoys motorcycling with her sister and father, where they all continue to learn and grow in motorcycling. In addition to good times with her family, Ella also enjoys time spent riding and camping with friends at local motocross tracks. These experiences have not only brought joy to her life, but have also pushed her to face her fears. Motorcycling is her favorite way to spend a weekend.

In addition to riding her dirt bike, Ella enjoys playing basketball and volleyball, competing in track and field, camping, and hanging out with her friends. She also enjoys a good night’s sleep after she fills her belly with dad’s famous steak and potatoes the night before a race. A couple taps on the helmet, and she’s ready for the gate to drop. She focuses on standing and searching for smooth lines once she’s on the track.

Ella encourages riders of all skill levels to come race with us in District 23 ARMCA! She also would like to thank the track workers, family, and friends that make racing possible not only for her, but for all of us here in Minnesota.
