Eventually he moved on to road racing when his BMX bike got stolen. He used the insurance money to buy a road bike. At 14 Scott started doing club rides. By the time he was 15 he had taken out a license with the USCF and began racing as a junior.
Scott's first junior of racing was in 1982. He says he got a whole lot of 2nd places that season. By the time he hit his last season as a junior he was winning some races and making podiums at Pro 1,2 races. His transition into senior races didn't go so smooth.
