On Saturday July 25th, I raced at a FMX demo/pit bike race. During the first lap of the main, I got pinched off the first jump of a double, and ending up crashing on my shoulder and head.
I suffered a broken left clavicle in the crash. Thanks to my 661 Fenix helmet and protective gear, that was the only injury I sustained.
It looks like I'll be sidelined for 6 weeks, unless I heal quicker. If my status changes, I'll be sure to post it.
Thanks,

The 3rd event of the 2UP Minis pit bike series was held at Sleepy Hollow MX Park in Fredricksburg, PA on June 13.
I competed in the Open Adult Beginner class. It was a 2 moto format, the first moto determined gate pick for Moto 2. Moto 2 determined the overall winner.
I finished 3rd place in Moto 1, giving me 3rd gate pick. In Moto 2, I made my move on the final lap to secure my spot on the podium, with a 3rd place finish.
I'd like to thank my sponsors that make it possible: Team 7XL, 187 Wear, Smith Optics, 661, Tag Metals, Sunline, O'neal, Globe Shoes, DeCal Works, KSR Wheels, and Choice Hotels.
Thank you for your support!
