Chad Mark Reed was born on March 15, 1982, in Kurri Kurri, Australia. His interest in motorcycling began after observing his cousin, leading him to trade his horse for a Yamaha PW50. The family moved to a 25-acre property outside Kurri Kurri, which they cleared by hand over time, building a family home and several tracks for Chad to practice on. Reed’s early career was marked by consistent family support, with his father, mother, and younger brother traveling across Australia for his competitions. He was often seen as an underdog, a status he would later overcome.
Reed’s amateur career gained momentum in 1997 when he secured the Australian Junior Championship. He then transitioned to professional racing in Australia in 1998, competing directly in the 250cc class, bypassing the usual 125cc entry. He quickly proved his competitive ability, winning the Australian 250cc Supercross Championship in both 1999 and 2000. In 2001, Reed moved to Europe to participate in the FIM World 250cc Motocross Championships with Jan DeGroot’s factory Kawasaki team. He made a significant impact by winning the Grand Prix of Lierop in the Netherlands, becoming the first Australian to achieve a world 250cc GP race victory, and finished the year second overall. This international exposure set the stage for his subsequent move to the United States.
In 2002, Reed joined Yamaha of Troy in the United States, dominating the 125cc East Coast Supercross championship by winning all but two races. His first and only 125cc National victory occurred in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, where he placed third overall in the season. The following year, Reed advanced to the 250cc class with Factory Yamaha. In his rookie 250cc Supercross season, he finished as runner-up to Ricky Carmichael, despite securing eight race wins to Carmichael’s seven, losing the title by just seven points. He continued to compete at an elite level, ultimately becoming a two-time AMA Supercross 450cc champion and a one-time AMA Motocross 450cc champion.
