ello All, Today my Dad and I made the haul out to AV Motoplex in Lancaster, California. I had a heck of a time, and rode well and stayed safe. What always makes me grin about AV is all the big air you can get on the jumps! When I first went out in the morning, the track was really powdery and soft, making it very difficult to ride in. It felt like you were riding through quick sand, every time you were wide open, the bike did not pull as quick. As the day went on, the track got burned in a bit better. Around my third moto, I was really starting to pick the pace up. The whole time I was riding, I never felt out of shape or not in control. And on the corners, my Dad pointed out a few corners where it would be faster to take the inside lines, and not rail the outside berms. Overall, it was another great day, and I am excited to see how far my skills have come, and how I can improve them in the future. Afterwards, I guzzled a Monster to get my energy back up, and went to go shred the BMX track for Sunday night racing! I also had fun there, and made no major mistakes except for swapping out in the rhythm section, but I saved it! By the end of the Main Event, I had picked my lap times up, and picked my start and jump speeds up a bit. Well, overall today was a great day, between BMX and Moto...and tune back in soon to hear more!

I met you at Sycamore BMX! You have got some pretty cool pics.

Last Saturday I hit Kyle Lewis' desert track, and it was surprisingly fun to ride. It was fun because it had just rained the day before and was perfectly tacky and moist. So I apologize to Kyle for bashing his track last time! I also had lots of fun block passing my Dad, and giving him mouthfuls of dirt. Either he is getting slow, or I'm getting faster! (maybe a little of each) We worked a special berm and rut track in the same area also. Then, today, I went to Gorman to practice again. I had tons of fun, and started to jump two new jumps I hadn't done yet! I also got the opportunity to meet one of my sponsors, Rich Taylor, the owner of EKS Brand Goggles. He is a really cool guy, and is also smoking fast! I am having a blast, and living the dream!........

Sweet video, and thanks for following!

Nice profile, thanks for following!

Thanks for following Thor, I got back at you!

Congrats on your 2nd place podium finish at the mountain bike race!

Yesterday I had a practice session at Kyle Lewis' track in Lancaster (beat up, rocky, wind blown, relentless desert track that probably has not been watered since the dinosaurs peed on it- that Kyle thinks is this absolute perfect training track) where we worked on going deeper into corners before braking and smooth throttle control over bumps. I think the session really helped me, and I will use full advantage of everything I learned. He was working with a couple other kids including a pro named Travis Smith. Today I raced an REM race at Glen Helen. In practice, I went really good, and set a great tone for moto one. In moto one, I got a pretty good start, running second into the first turn. In half a lap, I passed the leader and checked out. I had a great moto and went the fastest I have ever gone. In moto two, I slid out in the first turn and I dumped it once more trying to catch up, needless to say it did not go my way. Regardless, today I found new speed, and am stoked about getting faster!

Props! Nice video.

Thank you for following, I got back at you!

Dunlop tires are the best I have used! They hook up in any type of dirt, and last a long time.

Thanks, and your great at skating too!

Nice Glamis video, and thanks for the follow!

Today I raced an REM race at Glen Helen. It was a cool foggy day, so the track stayed perfectly tacky all day. I had lots of fun, and got my first overall win! Technically I was the only person in my 150 advanced class, but I beat all the kids from the 85 novice and expert as well. In the first moto, I got a holeshot and I slowly began to pull away from the kids behind me. At one point, they started to gain a little ground on me, but I pulled away again. I finished first out of six people in moto one. Overall, it was a good moto. After, my Dad and I made a few adjustments to the bike and we talked about how to go faster in moto two. Moto two went even better! I got another holeshot and extended my lead by about 30 seconds over second place! As the track got rougher, I really think my endurance training in soccer and running helped me out as the other kids kind of faded, and I kept the heat on, lap after lap. I hammered the National track between motos, and it was a whole different animal. The dirt was deep and loamy, and a bit muddy in some parts. I had lots of fun, and would like to give a shout out to the guys Factory Connection for tuning my suspension up perfectly. P.S. On Thursday I raced a 12K (7 1/2 mile) race on foot. I placed 3rd place in the sixth grade (133 kids), and finished 13th overall out of 255 kids. (6, 7, &8th grade). I finished in 53 minutes. One more thing! For my 12th birthday, I got a super cool DJ Fifty dirt jumper and have been hammering the local track ever since!

I raced 150 Advanced.

This weekend I raced an REM race at Glen Helen and finished 2nd out of a group of 12 people overall! I had lots of fun, and I would like to thank everyone including ASV, EKS Brand, ODI Grips, Renthal, Kalgard, Oneal, Ironclad Performance Gloves, Global Moto Outlet, Twin Air, Factory Effex, Dunlop Tires, and everyone who has been helping out along the way.

My soccer team and I made it to the State Cup Finals yesterday. Unfortunately, we did not win the final game, but we have still proved that we are one of the best teams in California! We had to win 8 games to get here, and I am so proud of our journey. We have work to do, and we are back on the throttle!

Sure, I'll follow! (:
