Haven't updated in too long

Wayyyyy too much has happened for me to even begin to try writing about. So instead, here's something I wrote like 3 years ago.

i wrote this once.. back in the day.

about 10 years ago, my dad bought me a bmx bike.to which i owe my life. ive met some of the most amazing people this world has to offer thanks to bmx. even gotten to hang out with some of my heros. the best friends ive ever had, or ever will have are the guys i ride with. weve shared a couple tears, and a million laughs, and im thankful everyday i can call these people my friends. bmx has shaped the person i am, the life i live, and people i know. who knows where id be or what id be doing if it werent for that little 20 inch bicycle...

Trails and SundayNightSkid

Birmingham has trails now! I couldn't be more excited. No pictures of riding yet, but I snapped some cell phone pics of the jumps.

Sunday Night Skid, was awesome. First time out not on the beach cruiser. I had a blast, that 48-16 gear is tough to get going but it definitely makes for a much better race. Good times were had. Big thanks to Nick Willis for the pics from SNS.

Also August 1st Weaver BMX will be holding the first annual Clayborn 200 Pro-Am, also with 100% payback(thats 100% of the money goes back to the riders, we will decide on race day how far back to pay) and $200 donated to the pot by Clayborn Bikes.

These two races are sure to be a good time, and definitely some good racing action. Come out and race, or watch.

Doubled up

The pro-am at Marble City BMX was a blast. We had 6 riders, from 14 to 39 and we all had a good time racing. My buddy Shane Mills joined in for his first BMX race in I believe about 13 years. Let's start out by giving you my excuses, haha. I've never been on an ABA gate in my life, so I was having a bit of trouble with the cadence. First moto, came into the first turn 2nd, behind Sebastian, started pulling on him coming down the second straight and was able to get under him in turn2. After I passed he shut down and slowed up the rest of the pack and was able to roll out for the 1. Second moto, I got waxed coming out of the gate but was able to pull up and get to turn one first and held everyone off the entire moto. Third moto again I got horsed down first straight, pushed Riley Lewis up in turn one, haha sorry Riley, and spent the rest of the track chasing down Tom Harper. Ended up with 2nd that moto, but still got the win overall. Really good day of competitive racing we had alot of fun.

Sunday started out awesome, I got some free tickets to the Porsche 250, so Austin and I went and checked that out. Saw some really cool cars. Then we played a little bball. Got some pics from that for sure. haha. Then it was on to the Sunday Night Skid. I definitely had to work hard to win it this time. Matthew Barton, Alex Mcclurg, and Nick Willis were all on the gas hard and were not letting me slack any. Thanks again to John Sloan and Matthew Barton for putting these races on, it's really awesome. And special thanks to Austin Anderson for grabbing some pictures from the Sunday Night Skid.
