Rider Updates
Dec 2 2013
Well I had another great season with one exception. On September 21st I took a digger. Broke my right clavicle, chipped L3 vertabrae, broke L3 and L4 transverse processes. I am about 90% recoveded from this accident but it was defently an eye opener. I keep doing my best and if you don't try to turn it up a notch, you will never know how far you can push it.
It is now ice riding season for me. I just do this for fun, no races.
I can't wait for 2014 it is going to be a good one.

I had another successful practice session this weekend at Freelin MX. I'm not 100% yet but riding is almost pain free. As long as I keep it rubber side down. I think it's time to throw a race into the mix, hopefully Memorial Weekend.

First ride of the year this past Sunday. It was good to get back on the bike, I'm not 100% yet as far as my shoulder. It going to take a while I think for it to come around.

Switching bikes this season, I purchased a 2012 KX450F. I can't wait to ride now, it is going to be a ripping machine.

My shoulder is healing well. I expect to make a full recovery and to be riding by May 1st. I can't wait, I just upgrade to a 2012 KX450. I will put some photos up as soon as I get the graphics straighten out.

On December 5th I had rotator cuff repaired. Two out of the four tendons were 100% severed and the scapula fractured. Recovery seems slow to me but I expect to be at full strength by April 1st. Even though the 2012 ended on a crash it was a very good season for me. I am just a pumped to ride this season.

It was a great season. I made serious gains with my motocross skills. I didn't stay injury free but that is part of the process. The weekend of Oct. 26th I got banged up at Baja Acres. I was unable to race due to the crash. Im healing but it was a pretty good hit. I expect to be back to full strength in a couple of months. I would like to thank everyone for there support this year, friends, family and most of all my sponsors.

I went racing this past Saturday at Freelin MX in North Branch, MI. I went 7-8 but I feel really good about my efforts and my days riding in general. I was even approached by a fellow rider telling me how good I rode. This made me feel real good, everything seems to be click together.

Polka Dots was a really great experience. I didn't finish as well as I had hoped but it was fun. Track was awsome I can't wait to go back. Thumbs up to the Polka Dots Motorcycle Club.

I'm headed north to ride a race in Midland at Polka Dots Motocross track. I have never been there before but I do get 4 laps of practice. My friend Tom and his son invited me to go with them, I couldn't say no. We are going on Saturday afternoon to walk the track and get better idea. Should be fun. Stay tuned.

I'm really satisfied with the overall finish of 5th at the Baja Brawl. I did make a few mistakes and now I can focus on those during practices. I also am now doing a section of that track that I was not doing before. It energizes me to keep improving.

New Scorpions mounted up for the Baja Brawl. Practice on Friday, race Saturday - Monday. Recover starting on Tuesday, not sure how long that will take...Excited to ride, I have been preparing for this weekend for a long time. It will be a fun filled weekend.

My rear tire was starting to show round edges on the leading edge. So last night I decided to turn it around. There my be an art to changing tires because it seemed really difficult. Job is done hopefully I didn't pinch the tube. Really for some holeshots now.

It feels good to be back on the bike again. I have made it to four open practices and two races. The Baja Brawl should be a blast. I'm stoked!

I plan on being back riding Moto this weekend. My shoulder feels about 95%, so I'm going to give it a go.

Today my brother and I did a 40 mile trail ride, I considered it rehab for my shoulder. We rode a good pace too. My shoulder felt really good today, I would say 90%. We will see how it feels in the morning...
May 19 2012
I had a really hard crash on April 28 and hurt my shoulder. Had a concussion too. I hope to be back on the bike Memorial weekend at Baja Acres. My shoulder is rehabing good now after a slow start.

Tomorrow practice at Baja Acres, race Saturday and Sunday. Gona ride like it's my last ride, leave it all on the track. Corner for doe and jump for show.

Today I raced in my first AMA event of 2012. In moto #1 I got a really good start, I was able to hold off the pack for two laps then I was winded to say the least. In moto #2 my start was not as good, I was able to hang on to 4th. I think my endurance will defently come around to the level it needs to be at. My next race in two weeks at Baja Acres.
Mar 18 2012
I went to Baja Acres on St. Patrick's day for my first open practice of the season. It was a really good day. The weather was perfect as well as the track conditions. I put in four good sessions, I even did four jumps that I was not doing last year. Great confidence builder to start the season. I was a little disappointed that all of my cardio on the treadmill really didn't seem to help as I still got winded. I guess there is no better training other than riding.

Today I got to ride on the ice. It felt good to ride. I would like to thank my brother Jay and friend Doug for letting me ride their CRF450's. I have only rode on the ice two times prior to today. You have to trust it, throwing it into the corner in 4th takes trust and a good set of tires. The tires that Craig Pickett studs up are awsome. He knows his stuff.
