Tarren Santero didn’t start riding until the comparatively ‘late’ age of 11 but proved a quick study. He was racing motocross and flat track a year later and showed immediate promise. After proving himself to be one of the top riders on the competitive Northern California scene, Santero made his professional debut in 2021. Thrown into the lion’s den that is the ultra-deep AFT Singles class, he secured his first points at the Atlanta TT, but perhaps more importantly gained valuable experience and the knowledge of exactly what he was up against. Santero came back that much stronger in 2022, notching up five points-paying finishes, including a pair of top tens. He continued that upward trajectory in 2023, claiming two more top tens among his 13 points-paying results. Santero then enjoyed a huge leap forward in 2024, racking up a full 13 top-ten finishes. Even more impressively, three of those were top fives, including his first professional podium, which he earned by way of a runner-up finish at the Sturgis TT. Santero will look to build upon his top-five AFT Singles championship ranking in 2024 when he joins forces with the hugely successful Mission Roof Systems squad in 2025. Outside of motorcycle racing, Santero also likes to scoot, bicycling, and longboard.
