Golden State Nationals...in Lancaster.

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:48:00 GMT

Wow! Lancaster was one heck of a National! An experience for sure...It was tough, my dad couldn't come, he was at home sick, so the trip already started out a little rough..The weather was tough! The 5 Expert class - even tougher! It was fun though, seeing my little buddies, Jack and Carson and their parents..Thanks for your support! You were right there with me with encouraging words when I didn't make my main on Saturday and my mom and I were right there cheering you on in the MAIN! I'm glad to see that everyone was okay and didn't get hurt while riding in the mud and wind! Kudo's to Jack - 1st place all the way dude! Carson - loved the consistency little buddy! Jack, I had a great time playing with you on Friday.

I came out Sunday with a positive attitude and determined to make my mine, and I did just that! I took 4th and was happy with my BLUE TROPHY! My buddy Aidan took 1st in the 5I class - ahhh yeah! The weather was perfect and I got to go hang in the GT trailer with my favorite girl PRO, Rachel Luna. While there I met Randy Stumphauser and Vet Pro Erik Rupe. They signed my GT Jersey that Rachel gave me..(I love Rachel!). In addition, I hung out with the ABA Crew at Applebys on Friday and was invited in the ABA Trailer. The ride in the ELITE van was sooooo fun. We had a blast riding home joking around with BMX HEX! What a cool crew! Thanks to all my racing buddies back home in NOR-CAL that sent messages/texts cheering me on...OH - did I mention my cool big sister (ALYSSA CANEVARI) made her main all 3 days in 11 Girls and got 2nd on Friday, Crashed on Saturday (took 5th) and 4th on Sunday (by the way - she beat out a NAG 4 rider)....The weekend was AWESOME aside from a few setbacks! To all BMX'ers keep your head up and stay positive....

Utah + National Win = Expert

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:49:47 GMT

I've been riding hard these last few months, trying to accomplish a goal of mine, turning Expert. I was lucky enough to go to the Salt Lake City Nationals this past weekend..I took first in the Pre-Race on Friday and took First on the Saturday National, which turned me Expert for Sunday's National. This was a tough class - 6 kids. It was especially hard because my buddy and team-mate, Coby Witten and I had to battle out for the last spot..I made my main and took 5th place......I had fun racing with all the little dudes (and chicks) - I raced the 6 mixed Open on Saturday with Camille Harvey (Little Business - NAG #3) and The California Kid - where I took 2nd.....

During my downtime, I went swimming with all the Nor-Cal kids...Sumi, Ryan, Bo-Bo, Jimmy, Jacob, The Savage (Zach) Alisia, Vanessa, Johnnie (J-Dog), Elijah, and we had a BLAST! (NOR-CAL PULL)

Good times with my team, too! Dinner was FUN! If you were one of 20 people there, you'd know..

Gotta go for now, I need to practice and get faster..

Summer Nationals!

Tue, 15 Jul 2008 07:51:09 GMT

This weekend I had the opportunity to race in the Summer Nationals in my own backyard - Yep, that's right, ROSEVILLE, CA! The Minton's did so many improvements to the track and it looked AWESOME!

I had a terrific time with my team - ELITE Bikes and my family and friends. I got to meet new friends - Carson Woods and that fast boy - Jack Kelly! It was a great time for all! I had an even better time racing and watching the moto's.

It was a great feeling to see all the press out there capturing pics and videos. This is a great way to get the word out on BMX!

I was lucky enough to get an interview from a reporter from the Sacramento Bee - check it out - it's pretty cool...

I've been told that I am a man of many words...

I hope everyone that attended had a great time and I think we put Nor-Cal on the map!!

Spring Nationals - New Mexico

Mon, 26 May 2008 12:01:44 GMT

I had a great time this weekend in Albequerque, New Mexico!

My parents decided to go last minute to New Mexico, so me, my sister and my friend/GF Sumi could race at the Spring Nationals..It was a long drive, but overall, I had a great time with my family, friends, and my Team - Elite Bikes!

Friday's Pre-Race was fun! I almost got first, but ended up with 2nd..

Saturdays race, I got a bad gate and came from fourth to strong 2nd..

Sunday, had a good gate, wanted first soooo bad, took the first burm hard, and caught the leaders tire, and went down, going for FIRST!! My eye was busted and I ended up with 7th. My parents were very proud of me for going down hard, chasing the #1...

Easter!

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 08:42:45 GMT

I wanted to tell everyone "THANKS" who attended the Easter Egg Hunt and racing @ Oak Creek on Sunday (Yes, EASTER)! It was a whole lotta fun for all. The kids (and parents) had a BLAST!

I know that James really enjoyed all the special treats and the EASTER basket that came from the Yuki's.....Thanks YUKI's!

I know that spending a holiday @ the track is not traditional to some, but I think if you really love BMX, there is nothing wrong with hangin' at the track on EASTER! I hope we see you all (those who attended, and those who couldn't) next week @ the track!

That's how us BMX peeps ROLL!!!

Thanks again to all! HAPPY EASTER!

Sunday, January 27th..My Birthday!

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 21:43:16 GMT

Well, I'm 5 years old now! I had a great birthday, although, it rained almost ALL DAY, and all week, UGH!..I would of loved to have been racing this weekend, playing with all my buddies at the track! I can't wait to get back to the track and race, I love it! I got a new Quad that is AWESOME! At least that was fun to play in the mud with... Check out my new Quad in my PICS section.....

Last Race of the Season..Saturday

Mon, 17 Dec 2007 11:47:47 GMT

Well, it was the last race of the season...I did good in practice, was doing even better when I made my main.....Then during the final race, I had a great gate, but coming off the first hill, it didn't look like I was going anywhere...My parents saw my little legs going and after the first burm - an open spot, would I cut it low??...Not really, I, somehow ended up in the last place, barely going anywhere....My parents assumed I had a bad day, scratching their heads, a little upset....Didn't realize until Sunday morning that I had a flat tire....Umm yeah, thats the first thing they should of checked after the race....Anyways, I had a great first season, I met a lot of cool little buddies and can't wait to rip the dirt in 2008. And yes, I'm now on the Countdown to Disneyland, I'll be there 5 days, spending CHRISTMAS with Mickey, baby!

I'm Intermediate NOW!

10/20- Saturday

Well, I got my 8th win in Roseville Saturday!! WOO-HOO! I'm very excited, and so are my parents!

I want to Thank everyone that supported me since I started in July, all my friends, their parents on the track, my mom and dad, sisters, my family, Uncle Cody and Kristina, especially the track staff at Elkhorn track and Oak Creek track, and my cool trainer Rick. You guys rock! You'll be seeing a lot of more of me....I'm movin' on up and am ready to ride with Nicholas, Ry-Ry, BoBo, Johnny and Jimmy.

10/23 - Tuesday

I had my first 5-I race on Tuesday. I guess I was pretty tired and hungry before the race. In addition, a little overwhelmed that I was riding with big boys (well, really they are the same age). I had awesome gates, but I was all brakes after the first hill...Needless to say, I did not make it to the main. I want to thank ALL the kids and parents that supported me this night...I'll be back Friday to race and to get my Advance Trophy...When I got home that night, I was soooo hungry, I ate 15+ pizza rolls!!!

Resting

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 13:33:58 GMT

Okay everyone, I've been resting for a couple weeks. During this time, I moved into a new house and was on a really fun camping trip, packed with fishing and hanging with my family and close friends. I gotta get back to my training schedule and, boy, am I ready for some heats....Watch out riders in Rio Linda and Roseville. I'm ready for the remaining 2007 season!
