DEVEN RAPER
Deven grew up around motorcycle racing in Arizona. His brother and father both raced dirt bikes in the desert and Deven knew he wanted to race as well. He took a different approach to amateur motocross growing up, because he attended public school and was never home-
schooled like most of the superstars today. Deven turned pro the winter after he graduated in 2009 and was determined to make a career out of it. He qualified for his first 450 Main Events last year and is eager for more. Deven Raper is a Supercross privateer that will not give up. He has only made one Main Event so far this season but he’s still there every weekend banging bars in the heat races. Deven is relentless and is doing everything he can to keep racing. He has the heart and works very hard, he should be strong all season long.
