Meet Naomi – also known as “Fit MX Chick”

Hi! I’m Naomi Findlay
a passionate desert racer, certified off-road coach,
and qualified school teacher.

I didn’t grow up in racing, I came to motosport later in life. It was watching the Finke Desert Race and losing my dad to cancer that gave me the determination to take on a new challenge. Thanks to the encouragement of female riders four years ago, I decided to give racing a go. Since then I’ve competed in over 55 events across five Australian states.

Two years ago, I went all in — selling almost everything to live full-time on the road, teaching in remote schools to fund my passion for dirtbike racing and coaching. This has been an amazing way to introduce more people, especially women and girls, into the sport and share the joy of riding.

My racing highlights include two Finke Desert Races (finishing 9th female in 2025), Don River Dash (5th female), Kalgoorlie Desert Race (5th female), as well as competing in SA Motocross, Enduro, and Reliability Trials (3rd solo female 2024). I’m proud to be part of the growth of women in desert racing and to bring new energy and visibility to the sport.

I’m also a qualified Motorcycling SA Level 1 Coach and bring over 12 years of experience as a teacher. That background allows me to break down technical riding skills in a way that both children and adults can clearly understand — combining practical technique with confidence, mindset, and safety. I coach beginners and intermediate riders, including juniors and women learning to ride, and I also offer a hire bike (TTR125) to help remove barriers for anyone wanting to give it a go.

Through Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, I actively promote women in motorsport, sharing educational content, desert racing insights, and practical riding tips. My desert racing videos and bike set-up guides aim to make events like the Finke Desert Race feel more accessible and less intimidating for new and aspiring riders, especially women.

At the heart of everything I do is community, connection, and empowering everyone to give it a go.

If you’d like to ride, learn, or just connect, I’d love to hear from you — use the contact form below to get in touch!

School Visits

School talks on resilience and goal-setting to inspire young riders.

Naomi delivers engaging, age-appropriate school presentations for preschools, primary schools, and secondary students. Sessions can be tailored to small groups or whole-school assemblies, with content adapted to suit different age levels and learning needs.

As both a desert racer and qualified teacher, Naomi brings a unique combination of real-world experience and classroom expertise. Presentations can include an inspiring keynote-style talk, interactive discussions, or hands-on sessions where students can see, touch, and (with assistance) sit on her race bike. For younger students, she can provide a limited number of riding dress-ups to make the experience fun, memorable, and engaging.
For primary-aged students, sessions focus on resilience, goal setting, and believing in yourself. For secondary students, Naomi incorporates deeper conversations around mindset, mental health, overcoming challenges, and taking positive risks. Every session is delivered in a way that is age-appropriate, inclusive, and empowering.

As a female competitor in events such as the Finke Desert Race, Naomi understands how powerful representation can be. Very few young people grow up seeing women race motorcycles, and her visits help broaden perspectives about what is possible. She has a strong desire to give back and create opportunities for other women and girls to access the sport — and to show all students that courage, resilience, and determination matter more than background or gender.

In the past year alone, Naomi has delivered resilience talks to over 1,500 young people across 10 schools in Queensland, South Australia, and the Northern Territory.

If you would like to book a school visit or discuss how a session could be tailored to your students, please get in touch via the contact form below.
