PASCO

Hey!
Well the Pasco round was fun. The whoops were bigger than any other track yet, but i like them. They are a strong point for me and lots of fun.
I made the main in my first qualifier with i think a 3rd.
My second qualifier i was leading for 2 or 3 laps. Then another rider had a very nice clean pass so instead of being aggressive and trying to stuff him we had a full lap of bar to bar racing. Going to fast in the whoops i could not reach my back brake and blew the berm, so i settled for last and went to my LCQ (last chance qualifier).
My next qualifier was the plus 25. The board turned sideways, the bike was rev ed up, the gate was ready to drop at any time. BANG!!! I blew the crank right threw the bottom of my motor and shattered the cases. Pushing my bike back to the pinnacle pit, we swapped out my number plates to their bike, and back to the line we went for the LCQ.
MAIN 1: This was interesting it was the BTH class. After the start i wound up in 3rd. One of the riders from the back of the pack made fast work and tyred to challenge me. So i made him go out side, made a little contact with him in the corner and he went down. The second place rider fell over on his own mistake costing him a position and put me in 2nd for the over all.
MAIN 2: Was the 450jr class. This is one of the more difficult classes I compete in. Having a bad start cuz of my gate pick, I made real fast work in the first 2 turns i found my self in a comfortable 3rd, Finishing out the race.
MAIN 3: This was the plus 25 race. More than less it was a give me win. Never to much competition in that class i won it start to finish. After a back to back moto I was pretty worn out. In front of the full house crowd i rolled to the top of a jump got the crowed to fire up a little the pitched my goggles in the crowd (it was real cool experience) and made some little kids day ;)

THANKS

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to say thanks for all the help from my sponsors this past season. It was a great year, ending with a 1st and 4th place championship in the Northwest National Motocross series with the help from Pinnacle Suspension, Wrenegadepoker.com, Hyper-X and S&M Steelfab. I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks so much, I greatly appreciate your support.
I also would like to take the time to tell everyone that I am a Christan, and God has made huge movements in my life this last year. I also want to thank the big man upstairs for keeping me safe and opening new doors of opportunity with my sponsor MoxieMX. I absolutely cannot forget to thank my most amazing girlfriend for her support on and off the track (thank you honey).
I would like to let everyone know how much fun I had at Top Gun this last year. Thanks to all those who supported me in that as well.
After the diet I was on during that time and how good I felt, along with all the added energy, I decided to start a diet program again to kick off the new year and the 2010 race season. Speaking of the 2010 race season, we have added a couple of new sponsors: O'NEAL MX and FMF who have recently jumped on board. I look forward to putting some wins under their name as well.
Thanks everyone for reading and following up on me.
See you track side!
;)
