JUST LIKE RIDING A BIKE

Posted: January 2, 2012 in Dirt Bike, Uncategorized

I was off a few weeks with my elbow and it started feeling a little better.  I decided to take it easy and get back on my bike last week to see how my elbow would feel.  Although my arm was a little sore and I got tired because I am a little out of [...]

Saturday we went to Oatfield MX in Turlock for a day of practice.  The first round of practice was good and my Dad gave me a few things to work on in the second round.  I couldn’t believe how much it helped…I was able to pick up more speed without riding out of control.  Each practice after [...]

Sunday we woke up early and headed to the track so we could get a little riding in before we drove all the way home.  We decided to go to Glen Helen Raceway and my Aunt, Uncle and two of my cousins followed us to the track to watch me ride. Glen Helen was different [...]

While we were in Las Angeles we stayed with my Uncle Mike, Aunt Jane, my four cousins (Michael, Chelsea, Cheyenne, and Calais) and Grandma Clara.  It was really fun to run around with all of them except when I was picking on my Uncle and he locked me in the dog kennel. lol When I [...]

My Mom’s extended family all had Thanksgiving at our house, we had Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Grandparents.  It was a lot of fun and the food was sooooo good.  After we were done eating everyone watched some football. Hailey, Mom, Dad, Elyssa, Nick and me……..and the baby in Elyssa’s stomach When everyone left, we went [...]

The new Moto Efx catalog is out and guess who is in it ?  ME !!!! Sorry these pictures are so bad, the real ones look great…..but you can get the idea. You guys have to check out their graphics, they do a great job and my bikes look so sick!  If you are looking for something [...]

It has been one year since I started this blog… and you have officially followed me during my year as a dirt bike rider. Since this site began I have made 95 posts about my ups and downs of racing and my life.  I want to thank the over 25,000 people who have visited my site as well [...]

This last weekend they had a lot of beginner 50 riders and I was thinking back to when I first started racing…..I can’t believe how far I have come! In May of 2008 I raced my first ever race, well it was not exactly a race…..it was just a lap in a race.  I went to [...]

The guys at Moto Efx finished my graphics and they look AMAZING!  The combination of the blue and the pink (my favorite) looks so cool.  My bike looked awesome under the lights at the San Jose night race on Saturday and I am sure the graphics helped me race to a double win.   See more information [...]

When I am flying through the air and land flat on my back…..THE DIRT REALLY HURTS! This week during practice I was having some really good sessions, but just before the end of the night I tucked the front tire and got thrown into the air.  The next day when I dropped something on the [...]

MotoEfx has some really different cool designs for their dirt bike graphics, I just got mine on my bike and they look amazing!  I have been looking for something different, fresh, and new and they totally nailed it. The guys at MotoEfx have been doing wraps for the last 5 years and now have an awesome Motocross and ATV [...]

Wednesday at 408MX was Red Bull Ride Day and it was an adventure from start to finish.  We decided to go to 408MX to practice Tuesday night and then stay the night to watch the show put on by Red Bull during the day, and then practice again on Wednesday night.  The weather said barely any rain [...]

A dirt bike frame is made of “Chromoly” tubing.  (Chromoly is like steel on steroids.  It contains Chromium and molybdenum a splash of carbon and mostly iron).  A dirt bike frame is the main component of a dirt bike that the wheels and engine and other components are fitted on.  The frame design for a dirt [...]

I had no school on Thursday and Friday which gave me a four-day weekend.  HAPPY VERTERANS DAY! Thursday I went practicing in San Jose at 408MX.  The track was really good and some of my friends were there and we all had a really good time racing each other. Friday my Mom took me bowling.  It [...]

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE MOTOCROSS TRACK? TO GET TO THE ROOST ! . (ROOST:  Dirt thrown in the air from the force of a spinning rear tire)   I came across a few dirt bike sayings I thought you might like.  Although I had a lot of fun making this video, I am [...]

Now you can see what I see…..We just got a helmet camera that records when I am going around the track.  This will help us to review things on the track and help me go faster.  This is also a really good way for you to see what it is like to ride on the [...]

I know that my family and friends are sometimes scared when I race my dirt bike (especially Grandma.)  Many people wonder what kind of safety equipment I wear since I know I will be falling.  I looked on-line and found the top 5 most dangerous extreme sports….don’t look Grandma. Ultimate Fighting Base Jumping Bull Riding [...]

The seventh rounds of the 2010 CMC Transcal finished up this weekend with a two-day race.  What a weekend!  Saturday we raced in the rain…  It was cold, cloudy and windy with small showers throughout the day.  Towards the end of the day the clouds broke, but the rain kept coming and while I was racing the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
