Broskie plans to compete overseas and will travel to Europe and the United Kingdom in the next few months to attend technical training sessions and, hopefully, participate in the regional motocross and enduro events.
From a young age, Broskie was involved with motorbike racing.
He was only 18 months old when he wore his first pair of riding pants and helmet at the track in Polokwane.
Coming from a racing family, he is continuing the family legacy.
Broskie is in a gap year. His tertiary studies for Bachelor of Arts and BCom Business start at the University of Pretoria next year.
