Leaving for basic training tomorrow. Talk to you all in a few months

Had a really good time at the first round of UtahMotoCo on my new YZ250F. Did better than I expected to, got podium in both my classes, had no crashes, and got tons of good photos and footage over the weekend. For some reason the MXSPONSOR website is not letting me upload any of it so please go check it out on my Instagram @greenmachine484 and my Facebook.
One pretty awesome thing that happened besides just the good races I had is I got the pro track at Jordan River down and I recorded some fabulous GoPro footage of me doing so. Spent a whole evening editing the video to make it look amazing, and on top of all that the owner of the track was so impressed with my footage that they are going to be using it on their main Facebook page next time they prep the pro track to promote it which I thought was pretty cool!!!
I only have 20 days before I leave for my military training, but I’m going to fit in one more practice session at Steadmens MX park tomorrow, which I will record on my GoPro, and one more race weekend at OCA MX for round 2 of the UtahMotoCo series. I have no goals for that race other than to stay safe and have as much fun as possible, hopefully I can get some more podiums and they’ll get me my trophies from the last round before I leave.

Thank you so much for all the support. I just wanted to give an announcement to let y’all know that I will no longer be racing competitively anymore. I ship of for basic combat training on May24th and I cant risk anything. I will be racing at more casual style events and I want to spread my wings out a little bit and try to ride more new places and do different types of riding. Just went to white hills yesterday for the first time and did some cool jumps and hill climbs. I’m going to go out to Mountain West MX park for their opening weekend next week and i will definitely get some good photos and video.

Did my first Triple Crown over the weekend and all things considered it went pretty well. I didn’t get dead last in the Intermediate classes and I got 13th overall out of 20 people in the 20+ Open class. What’s more important is that I’m sitting in the top ten in overall point standings in all my classes after this round. My best is 7th in Open 20+. Unfortunately I don’t know if I’ll be able to make it to round 3 because I have Army drill on the same day the race is. I am however looking at doing a good amount of arenacross this year which is where I really shine anyway.

Went to Mesquite MX this weekend and made major improvements to my suspension and my track tactics. Really looking forward to round two of the RMX winter series!

It’s official. I’m a soldier in the Utah Army National Guard! I got a job as a Special Forces Candidate which just means that I’ll get an opportunity to try for Special Forces right after basic training and if I don’t make it I’ll still be in a Special Forces battalion doing a support job.
i ship it out at the end of May and there’s still plenty of racing to be done between here and then and I’m going to try and participate in as much of it as I can. Including the RMX winter series in Mesquite, the Wild West Motocross Arenacross races, and as many UtahMotoCo outdoor races as I can make it to.
once I ship out if everything goes to plan I’ll be gone anywhere from 2 to 3 years in training and who knows where things will go from there. But regardless of where i am I’ll do what I can to represent all of you and I just want to thank all my sponsors for all the support!
ill keep you all updated on the racing and the Army as best I can.

Sorry it’s been a long time since I’ve left and update. It’s been a really tough year and my focus has been drawn to other things besides racing. I’m no longer going to be trying to make a career out of racing, but I’m still going to race whenever I have the opportunity and taking photos/video. I’m going to be joining the Army National Guard here pretty soon because I want to serve in the military but still be able to race a little bit because I’m not ready to give up riding. I really appreciate all of the support that all of my sponsorships have given me, I would have been a lot more financially draining to get through those arenacross championships this year without the help. Thank you thank you thank you! I just uploaded a ton of new photos, go check them out. And to see everything I’m up to go follow my Instagram @greenmachine484.

Racing is starting back up this weekend. My only expectation for this weekend is to have fun, do the best I can do, and then depending on how I do, set my goals from there.

I far exceeded my expectations this Arenacross season! I moved up to the intermediate class and won the championship my first go at it. So happy about this accomplishment and this gives me a lot of confidence going into the outdoor summer series! Next weekend is the southwest area qualifier for Loretta Lynn’s at Mesquite MX park and also the first round of my local motocross series. Im going to do my best to qualify for Loretta’s and do well in my normal races as well! Thank you all for all the support! The gear has been awesome and the savings have helped me to focus my money towards other things which helps a ton! I’ll keep doing my best at staying consistent with the updates, photos, and videos and trying my best at the races!

Had an awesome race weekend last weekend! I performed much better than I expected. I talked to tons of people and even got invited to join a race team someone is starting up! So excited to get started on that. The race went really well. In the point standings in the intermediate class I am in first place with a 40 point lead. In the amateur class I am in third, only 20 points down from first. There's only one more weekend of racing in this race series so my goal is to hold onto the intermediate championship and stay top three in points in the amateur class. Thank you all so much for the support! All the products are working really well! Unfortunately I didn't get any GoPro footage of this weekend but some people took photos which I do have. In one of my races I guy had a really gnarly crash and I stopped to help him because I was the closest person to the incident. Someone did take photos of me getting off of my bike to help. Anyway, I still have plans for the future to do review videos on all your products so that you can use it to promote your products, and I will keep you updated on what is going on with the offer to join a race team and my results in my next event.

RMX Arenacross round one went well. I moved up to the intermediate class, unfortunately none of my competition showed for that class so I got first place both days and now have a 50 point lead in the championship. In the open Amateur class I got fifth place both days. I have an outdoor race this weekend.

Went to practice at Mesquite MX park. Got some GoPro footage that i'll be sharing as soon as i'm done with the editing process. I also talked to the guy who owns the supercross track there and he said that it would be alright for me to use his track to practice. So i'll be starting supercross practice here soon to get ready for Salt Lake City supercross futures.

Went out and road my buddies private freestyle track today to practice up on my jumping technique and practice whipping the bike. Got some good video that I’ll be adding to the website as soon as it’s ready.

Didn't end up racing this weekend. Some bad weather came through so the track was really muddy. Not worth going out there and destroying the bike. There's another race this weekend at the same track, hoping the weather stays good so that I can get some riding in this week.

Just made a new instagram that will be exclusively motocross content so that it will be easier to promote all of my sponsors and not getting my personal life mixed in with it. it is @t_handleracing484.
I'm also in the process of working on making a youtube and learning the proper video editing skills so that I can do reviews on youtube of your products, instructional videos, just straight racing videos and more!

Thank you to all my sponsors! What an awesome opportunity to be a part of all your teams! I have a lot of contracts to go over, it might take me the next few weeks to get all the stickers properly displayed but I will make it my top priority to get that done as soon as possible. My instagram account is @greenmachine484 and I put as many of you in my bio as I could fit. I’ll make sure to share as many of your posts as I can and tag you wherever I can. Thank you for all of the support I can’t express it enough! I have a lot of good plans for the future.
