Rider Updates
Mar 4 2013
Just wanted to say I had a really great time this Weekend at Muddy Creek and met a lot of new friends and family. It was 24* when I made my first practice at 830am and it was slick as glass but that is just one of the obstacles and everyone managed to get thru practice and the track was great after the Sun came out even if it did stay just above freezing temps and had snow flurries all day. I just wanted to say thanks to all my sponsors that helps me make the races. Pics and Video will be up soon. Chance Markland

Well it has been a few weeks since I have updated my riding info I figured I would let everyone know how it is going. My dad has had me in South Carolina working with Jim Nelson at Jiffland or as others know as Dirt Dreams MX. It is fun getting to travel the roads practicing on different type soils and tracks other than am use to here at home. It is fun and challenging all at the same time and that is what I like about this sport. Jim gave me alot of pointers on and off the track that hopefully will give me the leading edge on the track to succeed to the top spot on the podium. For the next month I will be traveling to numerous tracks in the S.C, N.C areas to practice before the Thor Mega Series starts on March1 2013. Thanks and take care.

Just getting the bike back together with a total rebuild from a great friend Gary Hinkle at GForce Suspension. The bike rides and runs like a dream and that makes me comfortable on the track where I am applying more power to the ground and producing better lap times. I enjoy my practice time during the down time in the winter to learn better cornering, working the ruts, and most importantly the gate drop (holeshot) thats where most races are lost and won in my opinion. I will be giving updates throughout the winter as how my training has improved and hopefully some new pictures and videos of different tracks that I will be on.
