No riding last week.  I was vacationing in Tucson, AZ.  What a great state to live in!

Well, last week was nothing to write about - no racing on the weekend of May 16-17,2009.  Everything got rained out.  BUT this past weekend was great!  Had a class with Bryan White on Friday, racing Nuke #3 at Byron and some practicing at Walnut yesterday (Memorial Day).  Hope to ride this week - rain stay away!

Well, I got back on the bike on Sunday - Mother's day.  It was tough & painful.  But I am glad I did.  I even rode last nite at Joliet too.  That went much better.  Hope to ride at Walnut this weekend too!

Well, I went to Byron on Saturday to race in the stock class.  It was my first race of the season - which should be no excuse but there was ALOT of fast kids there from all over.  I went down a few times and even tried to see if I could go thru a tree - the tree won.  Then Sunday we went back to try for the modified classes.  That went worse - I crashed at the finish getting the checkered flag.  Another ride in the ambulance - So I didn't get to race the second moto.  Not a very good start of the season.  I am ok - back hurts - just need to rest this week.  Post pics soon (not of me crashing)

WELL I think every track in Illinois got rained out this past weekend.  I thought I would have my first RACES of this year BUT no mother nature had to rain on my party!  SO, we packed up and headed out to Indiana - Motoland.  Never been there before - what an awesome track.  Two tracks ALL sand -

These tracks wwere ALOT of fun!  Needless to say after riding all day 20 min on & then 20 min off and repeat that all day - you get your riding in that's for sure!  Hope to race at Byron for the qualifier this weekend and then maybe back to Motoland Sunday!

On Saturday we went to Walnut for practice - perfect day and track conditions!  AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to Joliet Friday nite to practice - it was VERY DUSTY!

Happy Easter!  We went to Sunset (Walnut) on Easter to practice.  Alittle chilly but a blast!  What an awesome way to spend my Easter!  Thanks Easter Bunny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So much for mother nature to be consistent!  On Saturday I got to finally ride at Walnut (Sunset) - IT WAS AWESOME!  Bob did a great job at grooming the track - it was PERFECT! 

FINALLY!!! I had my first ride outdoors last nite at Joliet MX track.  It was AWESOME!!  Alittle chilly but track was in perfect condition!  I hope to ride outdoors again this weekend! 

Well, I didn't get to ride this weekend because my dad got us awesome tickets to the Supercross race in St. Louis with special pit passes!  It was awesome!  I got to meet Travis, Street bike Tommy from Nitro Circus, J-Law, Jimmy Button, Mike LaRocco, and Ashley from Transworld - oh and Erin Bates!  The race was awesome - wish James would have won - but it was COOL!  Travis did an awesome job at designing the track.  It was a long drive home!  I hope to ride outdoors this week!

This is something I will treasure!

I went riding again at Waterman on Saturday March 14th.  It was great.  Awesome weather too!  Hope to ride outdoors at Walnut this weekend

I got to ride again at Waterman Friday nite.  It was great!  I have had my fastest lap time that nite so far!  Please mother nature let us have our spring & summer!!!!!!!!!!!

I got to ride on Saturday night at Waterman.  It was great to see alot of racers I haven't seen in 4 months.  Waterman hosted a "kids nite out" - kids got to ride from 6pm - 11pm and the parents received more information about that horrible law Congress passed about the lead content in our bikes.  Like we are going to be chewing on our bikes at the starting gate.  It was a great night nevertheless.  Can't wait for the weather to break!

I got to ride again at Waterman Friday night!  I think I may race this coming Saturday night there.  WOO HOO!!!!!  I can't wait!

I got to ride at Waterman on Friday night........  it was great to get out there.........  WEATHER IS WARMING UP!!!!!  HURRY SPRING GET HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I had my first ride of 2009 at Waterman.  Felt great to be back on my bike!  And no crashes either!

My brother & I got an early Christmas gift!  NEW BOOTS!!!!!!!   Check them out - this will be the whitest you will ever see them!  Already tried them out at Waterman last week.  FELT GREAT!

I finally got to ride on Friday night!  It seemed like such a long time ago since I rode last.  My dad, mom, brother and I went to Waterman.   It was cool!  We are planning to go back Wednesday (day before Turkey day)....  Have a great Thanksgiving!  GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!

Well, winter is here.....  I hope to go to Waterman this weekend to ride.  I definitely don't like this cold weather!  Getting ready for Christmas!  I hope Santa is good to me!

Well, this is the start of the end of the season.  I hope to keep riding as much as I can until the ground freezes!  On Saturday we went to Sunset to practice and receive my award.  I also won a pair of goggles in a raffle! Double Bonus!

I didn't do any riding this past weekend due to weather - too windy like 40 mph winds.  I was pretty bummed!  Hope to ride this weekend at Sunset on Saturday for the rider appreciation day and awards.

My brother and I took a class with Brianna Mahon & Reese Miller on Saturday October 18, 2008.  The class was awesome!  I learned ALOT and had ALOT of fun!  We had the whole track at Sunset to ourselves!  That was so COOL!  Thank you Bri & Reese!  AWESOME teachers!!!!!!!!!!!

The plan is to take a class with Brianna Mahon on Saturday Oct. 18 at Sunset and maybe practicing at Joliet on Sunday Oct. 19.  I don't knowing that the season is just about over.......
