Well I rode around and got used to the track and some of the jumps, then I started trying some of the other jump. Well there was this triple right out of a 180 corner and&nbsp; had been doubling it and I wanted to try and triple it. Well I tried it once and cased it but oh well no big deal, I decided to try it again later&nbsp; I came out of the corner, had to short shift to 3rd and dumped the clutch. Back then I didn't know how to seat bounce jumps so I hit it standing up and landed right on top of the landing and it bounced me off and turned my bike sideways. I didn't have the sense to bail so I held on close my eyes and thought &quot;this is gonna hurt&quot;. Well it did I ended up getting a concussion and breaking 3 of the bones in my left foot. I wasn't able to ride until Mid October so I was out for about 3 months and I didn't race until mid November. I did a couple more races on my 02 and it just wasn't up to par with the other bikes so my mom got me my 07 YZ250F.http://www.loopd.com/members/Floyd/blog.aspx?resourceId=876d3bbf-61a4-4d9a-a22c-ca858e9383e8Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:31:21 GMTI messed up the last one<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff">Thanks to my Sponsors</font></p> <p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #00ffff">I know its not the end of the year yet but its getting there and some sponsorships are closing and others opening.

In the 2nd moto I got the holeshot and started pulling away from the rest of the pack so i'm thinking about moving up to C class but i'm not sure just yet, let me know what ya'll think.http://www.loopd.com/members/Floyd/blog.aspx?resourceId=30116c2d-4672-4ff0-bb0c-9bb1052e403dWed, 18 Jul 2007 14:03:18 GMTSaturday June 30thSaturday night didn't really go the way I wanted, in practice this guy nocked me down in a corner but no big deal its only practice. In the first moto I had the holeshot and the same guy that nocked me down in practice ran into me again and I fell back to 5th or 6th and by the end of the moto I was in 4th. Second moto I killed&nbsp;my bike coming&nbsp;off the gate, i'm dead last out of 12 people and they are already heading up the hill in front of the grandstand before I even get my bike to start. I rode as hard as I could and made up it up to 6th and fought for the guy in front of me all the way to the last jump but he barely stayed ahead of me.http://www.loopd.com/members/Floyd/blog.aspx?resourceId=3f63a0f8-a935-461e-acc1-ef9669458ec6Tue, 03 Jul 2007 09:08:45 GMTRider downMy brother Robby Gravitt tried to hit a double backwards(use the&nbsp;landing as the takeoff)&nbsp;on a 4-wheeler and didn't make it. The front of the 4-wheeler caught the top of the jump that they both went flipping. He didn't get hurt really bad but he hit his head pretty good and broke his left colar bone, so he'll be out of comission for a little while.http://www.loopd.com/members/Floyd/blog.aspx?resourceId=28e83dd4-dd46-49b6-9ba1-47db5e79920cSun, 17 Jun 2007 08:28:45 GMTLazy RiverMe and my mom went to Lazy River last Saturday to practice for Sunday's race, but as it turns out practice was Friday and regular racing was on Saturday. I got about 3 laps of practice then It was time to race.http://www.loopd.com/members/Floyd/blog.aspx?resourceId=b3f8a367-2073-4b01-8467-a827938500f6Wed, 23 May 2007 12:01:45 GMTMessed up<p>On my results page the one that says I got 6th out of 10, the date should be 3/31/07 but I don't know how to fix it if anybody does tell me please.</p>http://www.loopd.com/members/Floyd/blog.aspx?resourceId=3d3e8ccf-1fd8-4d66-b75e-8044151d8cd7Wed, 23 May 2007 11:59:54 GMTAma<h3>I just signed up with the AMA about a week ago so I could race Lazy River and some other races besides local ones. Well I was going to go practice at Lazy River today but since it was supposed to rain all day I didn't and it just started pouring down at about 3:15 so I should have went.</h3>http://www.loopd.com/members/Floyd/blog.aspx?resourceId=d180fb1d-e2ff-432b-89c3-260c8f5e9fc8Sat, 14 Apr 2007 13:54:07 GMT
