I LOVE this track.  I was very excited this weekend to be back in Rock Hill, SC.  In my first moto, I transferred out in first place (the announcer announced me as someone else) .  Then I had to wait about 7 hours for the main.  I enjoyed watching the supercross and elite races, but I wanted to get back on that track.  Finally, it was my turn.

This was my first race of the 2015 season.  All winter I have been on a bike, but not on a track.  I rode my park bike at indoor parks all winter, like Ray's in CLE and Cranxs in NY.  I was not expecting much and was just happy to be on my race bike in warm weather and to see my "national" friends.  I wasn't sure how today was going to go, but I felt pretty good.  In my first moto, I transferred out in first place.  I got myself focused for...

Tulsa, OK I finished off the 2014 BMX season with making the main in 9 Cruiser at the Grands in Tulsa, OK.

I went into the Gold Cup with 39 points.  Day 1 in 9 cruiser I finished with a second place.  My friend Wesley took first.  This kept Wesley in first place and put me 2 points back.  Day 2, I really wanted this.  I transferred out first moto and waited until the main.  In the main I made it out of turn 1, and heard the announcer say, "A rider is down in turn 1.  Two riders down in turn 1."  I never wanted that to happen to my friends, but I cr...

Day 1: 16 riders, had semis. Got out of my moto first round with a 1st.  In semis, I qualified to the main by coming in 3rd.  In the main I took 4th (from gate 7) and felt good.  Day 2: 12 riders, no semis.  Got out of my moto second round with a first place-phew!  In the main, I had a great gate start (from gate 7-AGAIN) and ended with a 2nd place.  I felt REALLY good today! Wish I blogged all the other nationals.
