Well my injury is doing very good. I have my brace off and am able to move my knee. The breaks are still there obviously but healing well. Still a few more weeks before i can put any weight on it but i think its going good. Cant wait to get back on the bike

Well week 7 was definitely the worst week yet. My primary bike has a powervalve that went bad. Still waiting on the part. So i rode my brothera kx85. First time i have ever been on the bike. Did not like it at all ran at the back of the pack all day. Made some adjustments bedore the main and it felt good. I got a horrible start came out of the gate next to last. Really rode hard and was able to make up 10 positions in the first turn and rythm section. Coming into turn two i was making a move on the leader. I got bumped middle of the corner and went down. Never got up. I broke my tibia and will be out 3-6 months. Waiting to hear if i need surgery. Super bummed out right now. But i will be working hard to get back on the bike and be competitive. Sorry to my sponsors for the terrible ending to the season.

Round 6 was amazing. The track was in great condition all day. Started the day off with the guys from Dialed Suspension setting my bike up for me. They got it dialed in for sure. It felt amazing on the track. In the 85 beginner calss i slid in a slick corner and the bike came out from under me and i overshot i turn but still battles back and finished 4th. Then in the main i felt great. Everyone got caught up in a pileup. The first 2 riders barely missed it and got out to a huge lead. Still managed to grab another 4th place finish. Two more races to hopefully end up on the podium.

Week 5 was the worst overall week on the bike i have had. From start to finish. I did have a lap 8n my heat race where i felt better thN i have ever felt on a bike. Everything just flowed. i jumped into the lead on turn one and never looked back. I had a huge lead at the finish line of lap one only to have a mental error when i didnt land like i wanted to after the jump. I over shot the turn and lost it coming back over the berm. On the bright side now i know the feeling i am looking for on the bike. So we take that lump and learn from it. Lets see how this week goes.

Week 4 was a really good weekend. ran solid in both of the classes for the heats. Was in a strong batrle for third coming to the white flag on my main for 85 beginner. Took the inside line in the last turn and the other rider slammed the door on me. Layed it over in the exit of the turn. Recovered well on the final lap and only lost 1 position. Overall a great weeken of racing

Week 3 of Greenville MX went well. Made some adjustments to the bike during the week and it ran well. Practice session was a little rocky for everyone getting used to the new track layout. But came out and ran 6th in the first heat. I felt great on the bike this week. Definitely saw improvement in some key areas of focus. Ran 9th in the 85 12-15 class. finish both main in the exact same spots as my heats. I am currently sitting in the top five in points for the beginner class. Came in to the weekend in 3rd. I have heard nothing official but i feel that im probably in 4th right now. We have a short turn around this week since we race next weekend. Hoping for an excellent showing.

Well this weekend didn't go as well as i had hoped. While my fist heat race went great placing 3rd!! I ended the evening with a 6th place finish. Ran solid in both classes and stayed on the lead lap in both super mini races. Hole shot attempts were solid two 2nd place one third place, and a 4th place. The bike is feeling really good out of the gate. Cant be to disappointed inproved in areas i was look to get better in. Now another weekend off and then back again. Got to keep pushing forward and i will be able to put some good runs together.

First event ever went great!! Practice was good. The firts 85cc Beginner heat race was a bust. Fouled a plug at the gate. But came back and race in the super mini heat. We did good considering they are bigger bikes and my lack of experience. Finished on the lead lap. Then we moved to the mains. The 85cc beginner class went very wellWas able to avoid a near wreck on the 3rd lap when i got together with another rider and had my muffler ripped off. Still came away with a 9th place finish. Then in the super minis got a little caught up on lap one with a pile up. Was able to battle the entire race to finish 11th out of 13. All in all it was a great weekend. For my first event ever i felt like i did good. Goals of not falling and not coming in last both got accomplished. so we take a week off and then back at it with a new muffler and some tuning to the bike. Can't wait to see how the next one turns out.
