i go to regular school and love it . i make good grades always get an A in Phys Ed. my friends at school love to come and watch me race . and i never miss a buddy's football or basketball game . you always cheer on your friends even if they are into differnt sports .
when i am not racing i'm hangin with my dad learning about my bikes, listening to music or playing with my friends.
Riding Goals
well i have been racing this indoor series for years now and have always placed either 2nd or 3rd in my classes this year is my last year that i can race in the 65 class and miniquad class , so i want to be class champion in both classes . i know its going to mean alot of hard work , but i am commited to it .
after winter i asked dad ifi could race in a gncc national this summer,and make a run at going to lorretta lynns this summer . he said lets do it
Competitive Highlights
well my highlights are just racing i mean every time at the track is always like seeing an old friend. or waiting for christmas morning the excitement ,the smell of 2strokes , the rumble of 4strokes.
dont get me wrong i have my fair share of great races were i laid it on the line , and scared mom and dad. and looked like showtime
i was racing in the miniquad class and had my throttle cable cake up with mud and stick wide open with 4 laps to go ! kill switch didn't work so i rode it out the only way to slow down was tap the brake in the corner then let her rip i finished that race 45 sec ahead of everybody else. i leaned how to manage fear that race cause i was hittin jumps faster than some of the old quad guys slowed down for , and that i could have used the key to shut the quad off. ( lol )
than one race on my 65 i got bumped on to the pro triple section and landed it perfect for the win . the kid i was racing was bangin on me pretty hard the whole race throwing elbows , trying to kick at me . he was not a good sport . so on the last part of the track was a corner than a small double double .beside the double double was the triple set up for the pro riders only. and for the other races it was taped off . that kid ran me into the triple so i would stop and he could win . that did not happen much to his surprise , dads and everybody else. i seen were i was and nothin to it but to do it ( yea i was scared stiff lol ) i down shifted hit the gas wide open and held on for dear life . and won the race it was so cool i had everybody patin my back shaking my hand like i was big stuff it felt good.
then the kids dad protested the race be cause i went off the track onto the pro section. i told him he could have the trophy nothing could touch the feeling i had i jumped a pro triple like showtime or the goat would have !!! the race promoter said no i get the win that that boy tried to make me stop by running me on to that part of the track
if you asked mom or dad the could come up with more highlights but those races i hope to always remember
