Had a good weekend of racing out at LACR this past weekend. My riding was strong but had to deal with so so starts in 2 motos and then lap riders were a problem this weekend worse than usual! I went 3rd OA in 30B and 4th OA in Open Int/Exp. Thank you to my support sponsors:

This past weekend I headed out to Comp Edge for Round 2 of the TWMX Fall Series. I haven't ridden the track in a few years so fortunately I was able to practice Saturday before Sundays racing. I struggled with my suspension settings and got a couple bad starts in the Open Int/Exp. Track was so one lined on race day that passing was extremely difficult and actually ended up coming together with another racer while trying to make a pass. I am happy to get a win in the 30B but I know I should have been in the top 3 in the Open Int/Exp class with a better start. I will take this a build into the next round at LACR. Afterr that I have the Vet World Nationals which is the race I care most about!! Thank you Thank you Thank you to my sponsor support which make my passion possible. The discounts I receive keep me going and I honestly don't know how I would pull it off without them!

This past weekend I raced the Transworld MX Fall Series Round 1 at Milestone. The turnout was big and I raced 2 classes. 40B & Open Int/Expert. The last time I raced at Milestone I knocked myself out and broke my leg badly (Tib/Fib) which put me out for most of a year. This event was challenging mentally and physically because of the previous injury here. The temps were in excess of 100 degrees and the wind was non-stop. The track was blue groove and it was watered which made it very sketchy! I am happy to finish in one piece even though I didn't win. All things considered, I am happy with the result and will build from here into the next rounds of the series.
I would like to thank my sponsors for helping make this possible for me:

Yesterday I raced the last round of the Transworld Terra Firma MX Series at Glen Helen. I had a couple crashes while leading my Open Intermediate / Expert Class but got up and was able to hold a decent finish. My 30B class (I raced 2 classes at this event) went pretty smooth. At the end of the day, I ended up 4th Overall in the Open Intermediate / Expert and 2nd Overall in the 30B classes. I would like to thank my sponsors because they truly make my passion possible!

This past weekend I raced round 4 of the Keyes So Cal MX Series at Quail Canyon MX. Ended up with 2-2 finishes for 2nd Overall. I lost my 1st Overall by a bike length in moto 2 which was tough to swallow, but I will be at Sunrise MX for round 5 in 2 weeks and fight hard for that #1 again!!

I completed my goal of finishing all rounds of the 2016 Road To Mammoth and the 2-Day Mammoth Motocross on June 17th & 18th. I ended up 12th Overall in the 30+B at Mammoth. My goal was top 10 but I got tangled up in some heavy start drama and actually came out pretty good considering I kept it on 2 wheels. I was 8 points shy of my top 10.
Having had a broken tib/fib last year and still accomplishing what I did, is something great to build off of. I am continuing to build my speed and will be competing in the 7 round SoCal MX series this summer ( I missed the first 2 rounds due to work and regrouping from the Mammoth Race trip ). I will be picking up the series for round 3, this weekend, July 10th at Glen Helen Raceway. I will be racing all remaining events and then the Vet World Nationals at the end of the year. I would like to thank my active sponsors: EPIC MOTORSPORTS, MOBIUS, EVS SPORTS, OGIO, MATRIX CONCEPTS, SMITH OPTICS.

***In the 2016 Monster Energy Road To Mammoth Race Series I ended up 5th overall after 6 races. This secures my gate pick for Mammoth MX 2016 this June! I am very happy to have accomplished this coming off a major injury last year (broken Tib / Fib). My goal is to stay inside the top ten and hopefully the top 5 in Mammoth to get the elusive Bear!!

Last round of the 2016 RTM Race Series ended at Lake Elsinore. Racing was exciting and I ended up 5th overall. Got good starts but crashed in moto 1 and also had a bike stall (it turned out to be an ignition mapping issue). I still managed to get 6th in moto 1 making passes from behind. Moto 2 I got the holeshot then settled into 4th in the first lap. I ended up shorting the big triple on the white flag lap and blew out both tires! Still finished the last lap on two flats and only lost one position! It was nuts. I am very happy to be getting better starts and plan to carry that momentum into the TWMX Trans-AM Race May 13th, 14th, 15th and into Mammoth MX 2016. I would like to thank my sponsors for help make this possible: OGIO, SMITH OPTICS, EVS, MATRIX CONCEPTS, EPIC MOTORSPORTS, MOBIUS

I just finished up Round 5 of the Monster Energy Road To Mammoth Round 5 at The Oatfield, Ca. last weekend! It was a tough track and I got caught up in bad starts and lots of contact. Still was able to make up some ground and some passes. I ended up 7th overall in my 30+B class. Next weekend is Round 6, which is the final race before Mammoth MX in June! I would like to thank my sponsors for helping make this possible. SMITH OPTICS, MATRIX CONCEPTS, EPIC MOTORSPORTS, MOBIUS, EVS, OGIO.

Raced Round 4 of the Road to Mammoth MX Series this weekend at HANGTOWN MX!! It was an amazing track and really tough! Deep ruts and super rough. It was the first time I ever rode it so struggled a bit with confidence but came out with an 8th overall (bad starts again). Will keep up the training and work on my starts to challenge for the top 5 spots. My fitness and speed are there if I just get a good start I can contend. I want to thank my sponsors for the help as it makes my passion possible: ATLAS, MOBIUS, EPIIC MOTORSPORTS, SMITH OPTICS, ANSWER RACING, OGIO, MATRIX CONCEPTS.

I raced Round 3 of the 2016 Monster Energy Road To Mammoth / King Of The West MX Series this past weekend at DT1 MX Park in Tulare, Ca. We almost beat the rain and the dirt was amazing! I went 6-6 for 6th overall. An improvement over my results from Round 2 at LACR but still need to improve. My leg injury recovery is still causing some confidence issues but it is improving. My current standing in the 2016 RTM / KOTW race series is 3rd place overall. The next race is at Hangtown on March 20th and I am working hard with my training to continue improving my finishes. I just need to get some good starts and it will improve my finishes tremendously! I want to thank the following sponsors for their support: EPIC MOTORSPORTS, SMITH OPTICS, EVS, OGIO, MATRIX CONCEPTS & ONE INDUSTRIES.
I have the following new sponsors going forward: ANSWER RACING, MOBIUS, ATLAS.
The following companies are no longer supporting me: ONE INDUSTRIES & EVS.

Raced Round 2 of Monster Energy Road To Mammoth at LACR this past weekend. It was a crazy weekend of mechanical issues & gnarly conditions. Not super happy with the overall results (went 10-8 for 9th overall) but considering the mechanical issues I had and that I finished both motos to collect points makes it OK. I am regrouping for Round 3 at DT1 in Tulare next weekend, March 6th. I want to thank my sponsors for the continued support, without the help it would be close to impossible for me to do this. Thank you to:

Had a great weekend at the races. Went 5-5 for 4th overall in my class (V 30B) at Round 1 at Glen Helen of The Road To Mammoth / King Of The West Race Series. Conditions were gnarly with 50+ MPH gusty wing and a very rough track! Typical Glen Helen but came out with consistent finishes and kept it on two wheels. This was my first race after being injured 7 months ago and undergoing 2 surgeries to put my leg back together. I got a tibial rod and 10 screws and pins after crashing out last year at the West Coast Open Series TWMX race at Milestone in the Open Expert Class. Next race is Round 2 at LACR on February 28th! Looking to improve my finishes and collect more points for the series!
