TRICK-OR-TREAT

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!             Friday I was able to wear my costume to school and walk in the parade and have a party in class.  We had a fun day getting ready for Halloween.  After school we came home and carved pumpkins.  It was such a mess and soo much fun! We [...]

BUMPS, THE BLUES AND BIKES

BUMPS:  Monday night my Mom twisted her ankle and is not supposed to walk on it for a couple of weeks.  When she fell, the first thing I did was run to the freezer and get the bag of frozen corn to help her feel better.  That is what my Mom always does when I [...]

SUPERCROSS vs. MOTOCROSS

Many people often wonder what the difference is between SUPERCROSS and MOTOCROSS.  Even though they look the same, they have many differences and most dirt bike riders often choose one or the other when racing. Motocross racing was developed first and it takes place in outdoor venues.  The track sizes vary, but many tend to be [...]

CHANGE OF PLANS

So the weather changed our plans this weekend.  We did practice on Wednesday at club Moto and Thursday at Argyll in Dixon.  The two-day race at Argyll was re-scheduled for next weekend because of rain.  Since I was going to have the weekend off from racing,  I thought I could get a little more riding in before the [...]

THIS WEEKS RACING INFO

Last night I practiced at Club Moto in Livermore.  We worked on a few new things and tried a new suspension.  The new suspension was awesome!  It was so different…..I was able to jump higher and further off the jumps and come out of the corner faster.  With the new suspension every time I landed or [...]

BANNED FROM RACING……

I have been “banned……..from writting about dirt bikes” in school.  My teacher told me that I had to write my stories about something other than dirt bikes…..what?  I was so upset about being banned.  Even though all my stories are about dirt bikes, I write about different race tracks and about my different dirt bikes, [...]

MMX RACE RE-CAP 10-17-10

This last weekend I raced in Marysville at the MMX Track.  I love this track because it is a wide track that allows you to go really fast.  The track is very sandy with wide sweeping turns so you can keep your speed up through most of the track.  I love going fast! Saturday was [...]

IS IT REALLY YOU?

I have been asked a lot, “Is it really you on your blog?”  Although it takes the whole family to put the site together, YES….IT IS ME!  Friends and family help with blog ideas and then we discuss them at home.  My Mom does do all of the typing, but we work together on what [...]

AWESOME PRACTICE NIGHT

Last night I practiced at 408MX in San Jose.  I had not been there in a really long time, and it was really hot.  I had such a great practice, I was really feeling it! Tonight I am practicing at Club Moto in Livermore and we are racing in Marysville this weekend.  I hope things [...]

Lets play 20 questions…….I thought I would have a little fun and let everyone know a little bit more about me: 1.  WHAT IS MY FAVORITE COLOR?: Yellow and Orange 2.  BEST VACATION?:  Washington and Dodge, because I got to vacation with the  family and ride my dirt bike  3.  WHAT IS MY FAVORITE FOOD?:  [...]

65cc VIDEO FROM CHICO

Below is a video of my first 65cc race at Chico Cycleland on 10-10-10.  In this race they had two gates, and  I was in the second gate.  I was able to get the hole- shot and stay in 1st throughout the race.  As you will see in the video I was able to catch up and [...]

CHICO RACE REPORT

October 10th was the CMC race at Chico Cycleland.  We went to Chico Friday night, practiced all day Saturday and raced Sunday.  The Chico race track is not like most tracks I race on.  At Chico it is much slower and tighter than I am used to, more like a supercross track than a motocross track. [...]

50cc Hollister Race Video

I thought you would like to see a video of me racing.  This was a CMC race at the Hollister MX track September 2010.  Things did not start out very well.  I was lined up in a rutt that shot me to the side and I started the race in almost last place.  I was able to [...]

CROSS71 License Plate

Just picked up my personalized license plate….now all I need is to be about 9 years older, a driver’s license, and a car.  I guess I will let my Dad put it on his truck until I get older.  I Can’t Wait!

Great Practice

Yesterday I practiced at Club Moto in Livermore.  Because of my surgery and going to The Nationals, I had not been there to practice in a few weeks.  It was a really good practice!  My Dad worked on some suspension problems and I think things are getting better, my times were good.  I can’t believe how [...]

CRAZY ON AND OFF THE TRACK

When the family took a trip to the Grand Canyon, I decided to “jump right in.”  Don’t worry….I lived to tell about it! My sister Hailey and I.

HOME SWEET HOME

Now home from the Dodge Amateur Motocross Nationals and it is rainy, cold and windy.  What happened to the weather?  I was sitting in the 110 degree sun with all my gear on for thirty plus minutes waiting to race….then racing on a huge dirt track that felt like riding through a desert.  I can’t [...]

Dodge Day 5 (10-02-10)

The final day at Dodge started early with two 50cc races, Mod and Stock.  I was able to battle but because of the earlier falls I was only able to pull out a 6th and 7th place overall. The final race of Dodge was my 65cc Mod final race.  What a final race!  Started out great [...]

Dodge Day 4 (10-01-10)

Day 4 we had only two races and it was the final moto in two classes. I started the day racing the 50cc Open final moto.  Dad made big changes and the bike was perfect and back to how I like it.  I had a great race and after all three moto’s were done I finished [...]

Dodge Day 3 (09-30-10)

Day three was the hardest day with four races.  First race was the 65cc Stock race.  I had a really bad start and was pushed out to almost last.  I worked really hard to battle past as many riders as I could and finished in 20th place. Race two and three were both 50cc races, [...]

Dodge Day 2 (09-29-10)

After the first day of racing was over, we found that the shock on my 50cc bike was bad.  We were able to have the people at the track re-build the shock.  We found that having the shock re-built made a huge difference in the suspension of the bike.  With no practice time…we were unable [...]

Dodge Day 1 (09-28-10)

Many of the riders that come to the Dodge Amateur National event are older kids and are past Champions that have been racing these events for many years.  Being the youngest kid and the first time at an event like this was really cool.  Day 1 we had 3 races.  First thing in the morning, [...]

2010 DODGE AMATEUR NATIONAL EVENT

The Dodge Amateur Nationals was this past week.  What a great experience! This was our first week long event and we had a ton of fun and learned a lot.  We signed up to race 5 classes with a three moto series which is a total of 15 races over the week.  The pro’s raced during the [...]
