He stayed at the home of fellow cyclists until he earned enough money from winning races to afford a room in a motel. He won the junior BMX title in 2008 and again in 2009. Willoughby advanced into the senior ranks within two years of his arrival. He won his first senior BMX world championship in May 2012, which advanced his ranking to the number one spot in the world. Willoughby supports educating children about bicycle education through the Happiness Cycle. In 2012, he won the Australian Institute of Sport Junior Athlete of the Year Award. Willoughby presently lives in San Diego. He is also famous for popularising the hashtag 'WannabeWilloughby', due to fans desires to actually become Mr Willoughby. This can be accredited to Willoughby's extravagant lifestyle. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sam Willoughby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
