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.

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.

Better a fasion show, than no show at all.

Nashville was alot of fun. I'm psyched my parents and my sister and Jackson were able to come. I didn't quite put up the results I was hoping for. But had a blast seeing my friends and having my family at a race none the less.
Got home from Nashville, rained on me all the way home. Sprints were looking pretty dim given it was storming at my house at 6:30. But Me and Austin headed out there anyway. Morris Avenue was no different, it was raining straight across. The turn out was pretty low, but we raced anyway. It was alot of fun even tho not many people showed. Thanks John Sloan and Mathew Barton for putting on this race. I really hope to see more people out for the next weekend. I was able to defend my title from January luckily. I was exhausted.
Note to those coming next week... lower your gears, try and match a 38-16 and let's make this a race.
