Rider Updates

In my first race back since I broke my leg I started the day off kinda slow but got myself straightened out by the end of the main. There were 3 full gates of 50's today and I started in Heat 1. I rode well but was a bit rusty and finished in 6th place. The first 4 places automatically advanced to the main, so I would need to do better in the Last Chance Qualifier if I wanted to race in the Main.
I got the holeshot in the LCQ and led the entire race and finished in 1st. I advanced to the Main!
In the main I rode well and consistantly and was able to finish with a 3rd place. My parents and I think this was a good showing for my first race back!

I got my second cast off today and they x-rayed my leg and I am as good as new. The Doctor said it may take a few months to get rid of my limp but I am so glad to walk and run again. My parents say I need to get my leg stronger before I can ride so I am working hard to get my strength back!

While racing today at Clark County Indoor - I was running third and was working through a double-double section when another rider crossed into my path. I did not want to land on top of him so I baled off my bike. When I landed I broke my left Tibia (the big bone in my shin). My day of racing was over.
After a couple hours in the Emergency Room I was on my way home with the news that I will be in a cast for 6 weeks to 3 and a half months.

After all the problem's we have been having with my KTM, my Dad did some sidework and some horsetrading and I ended up with a great 2005 Cobra King. We don't really have anyplace close to ride right now but I am hoping to get to ride it enough to get familiar enough with the Cobra to ride it at the races at Albany MX on the 26th of this month.

My Dad has been working on an old 1999 KTM Sr Pro so that I can race it until we get a good shock for my 2003 mini adventure. Well today my Dad finished the Sr Pro today and SURPRISE - this bike really SCREAMS!!!! It really gets up and goes! The suspension is Awesome also. I can't wait to race this weekend.

Well I had a couple of weeks with no races and I thought I would have my new shock by the time I raced again. I was wrong! The guy my Dad bought the shock from didn't send my shock and I have a race tomorrow and Sunday. I am so bummed. My Dad filed a complaint with e-bay and hopefully the guy will send it. So no air for me yet!

My Dad bought a rear shock for my bike on E-bay today. If it is any good he will put it on my bike and I will be getting some serious air soon! I can't wait until I can stop rolling the jumps.
