Rider Updates

My trainer just got a new track built at is house its fairly small but its very technical and a great workout, I set u times to ride there every other week at least.I have a pal marcus janssen who has a pretty sweet track that I should be able to ride soon. Other than that just hitting up the locals places for practice and making it to the bigger northwest races. As I am on an old 125 I feel it hard to compete sometimes but I'm putting my head down and getting good finishes. Aside from motocross I turned 15 may 21st and I'm enrolled in Drivers Ed I plan on driving my moms 04 ford ranger. I'd like to give a sincere thanks to my sponsors for helping me out so much.
Thank you everyone,

Saturday I went to port angeles to practice, and with my new 756 front tire I was able to tear up the corners and get great traction in the ruts. Practice was awesome , I worked alot on higher speed whoop/outdoor rythms got those down to a science now. Really worked on carrying momentum through those long flattrack style corners while still gaining speed.Also worked on scrubbing and landing in a more aggresive manner just like you watch bubba do on tv. Yeah, practice was just great it was nice to get some good solid seat time. Also i found out that I can throw a lil whipper tail . haha

Toes was so much fun. The supercross style track needs to be fine tuned but the main national track was amazing. Highspeed corners and some really fast straights and jumps. I pounded out 4 40min motos and just practiced some other sections and whoops. turned out to be an a awesome day of riding.

I have'nt got much of a chance to ride this winter. The weather has been terrible down here in washington. First snow then an overload of rain which caused massive flooding so all the tracks have been closed.
Im hoping when march and april roll around that some tracks will open so I can get some seat time, and race.

Ward creek was one of the coolest tracks ive ever ridden at, it had some crazy steep up and downhill jumps but they were fun, i had an overall superior practice aside from my tip over in a rut. My coach and my dad and i have all been talking and im gonna be riding jr/intermediate practices so i can get ready for that bump into the jr class and im almost there!

my first practice i was holding on white knuckled the whole time and was a little timid, second practice rode hard and smooth got over the jumps and railed the corners.I had 1 unfortanate event, overshot a double and went over the berm but from then on i was fine.Overall practice was great and i got some good seat time.

Over the weekend some freinds of mine put on a private poker run at the goose creek campground. My dad ended up winning 80 dollars. I also threw in a 75$ worth of motobucks and a new set of grips for the name drawing, one family one all of that. Then we did some timed laps and the fastest lap was big jim on a 450 with 6 min 51sec then second place was 7min 8sec third was jeff chapman with 7min 15sec and fourth was me 7min 16sec with a broken and an unmodified crf 150f. I think that if my arm was not broken and I was ridimg my Yz 80 I could have broken into the 6 min 40-50 sec area.
