“I’ve had a lot of messages this week, saying ‘good luck’ and ‘can’t wait to see you out there,’” said Tilford, who is in his first year as a pro. He’ll be on the track, riding in the Pro Nationals at Spring Creek for the first time. Saturday, Tilford won’t be watching from the hillside. The jerseys of some of his heroes - Jeremy McGrath, Ryan Dungey, Alex Martin - hang in his shop near his family’s home, just outside of Pine Island. He watched them closely, attempting to pick up tips and tricks. Tilford was fascinated by some of the best riders in the world. One of his favorite weekends of the season, though, was one where he would mostly watch from one of the grassy hillsides at the track, as the top riders in the world made their once-a-year visit to Millville for the Pro Nationals. Tilford grew up learning how to ride and race at Spring Creek MX park in Millville.
