In Florida I did very good. I got 1st place in 13 cruiser both days, and second place in class (13 expert) both days. The first day in cruiser I made a move in the first turn going under the lead rider. The second day I went under him in the second turn for the lead. They changed the track and made it very mellow compared to last year. In my opinion, I didn’t like how they changed the third straight, but I liked what they did to the first straight. It was a great time at Oldsmar BMX in ... Read More

I traveled to Oklahoma with one goal...beat my NAG ranking from last year. I went into the race in 5th place. I was excited to finally meet and race Noah Miguel. West Coast meets East Coast. The ROC was some extra track time for me, but there was still 35 riders. I transferred out in round 1 in first place. In 1/4s I tansferred out in first place. Onto semis where I transferred out in second place. I was pleased with my racing for the day and ended wi... Read More

This was a fun weekend for me! I got to hang and race one of my best friends, Tyler. Saturday I felt good. I transferred out in 1st place in the first moto, but in the main, Tyler had the move of the day. I didn't think there was any room for him to get me in the turn, but he found that inch and got me. I ended up with the 2nd. We laughed about it as we walked our bikes back. Sunday, I wasn't letting that happen again, and I had a good feeli... Read More

I forgot to write my post when I got back. This was a last minute decision to go. My dad drove all night on Friday from NJ to KY, after school and work, so I could race on Saturday and Sunday. I was hoping I would race some of the kids I would meet up with at the Grands. Just focused on racing and having fun this weekend! On Saturday I transferred out in the first moto. I kept hydrated and cool with my friends. On Saturday, the announcer said I&n... Read More

This weekend was all about fun for me. I traveled to Canada with my dad and my team owner, Andy Currie. If I earn a few rider points I do, if Idon't that's okay too. Day 1 started out pretty good. I transferred out in Round 1. In the main I came unclipped after the first turn and ended up in last. That's ok, I had motivation for Day 2--do better than Day 1. I started by having the exact gates I did yesterday. Moto 1 I transferred out... Read More

I felt pretty good this weekend. It was my first day in the Chip N Dale colors. I was on this team when I was five and Andy Currie has always been a supporter of mine. Day 1 had 12 riders in the ten cruiser class. Before I get to that, I would like to say how awesome it was to watch my friend Tyler Bailey dominate this weekend. Now onto 10 cruiser. I transferred out in round 1 and in the main had gate 7. I had a good gate, but in the last turn my Flor... Read More

One of my favorite tracks! I missed this race last year because I had just gotten my cast off 2 days before from a broken arm. I was happy to be back and even more excited to take part in the Donny Robinson clinic on Thursday. I felt good moto 1 on Saturday transferring out in 1st. The main didn't go as I planned, but I came out with a 3rd. Congrats to Graydon and Shane for the 1 and 2. (Shane and I were banging bars and laughing about it after the race) Day 2, ... Read More

This was a fun weekend. Both nationals were raced on Saturday. I went into this trying to get my final two wins (for 6). I was feeling good. Day 1 I transferred out in the first moto in first. In the main we had to go to the video tape. I thought my friend Tyler Harnage got it and he thought I got it; his dad thought I got it, and my dad thought Tyler got it. The tape doesn't lie...Tyler inched it out. Congratulations Tyler! "Day 2&q... Read More

Phew--this one was a HOT one! I've never been able to say this at a national before, but I didn't lose a lap all weekend. Day 1 I did it from gate 3 in the main, but I was most excited to have gate 8 in the main on Day 2. I surprised myself all weekend, but set my mind to it...and did it! I thought it was funny that the announcer kept referring to me as a "Plain Wrapper." I'm having a blast though!

I crossed the border into Canada and raced my heart out! I slept in the car and was at the track Saturday morning. There were 9 year old cruider riders, 11 year old cruiser riders, and two 10 year old cruiser riders. I had to race up and I transferred out in round 2 by coming in first. I ended the day by getting 3rd place. On Sunday, the 10 year olds made a class, and I was able to get a win. This was my second national win this year. Next stop M... Read More
