My 07 Suzuki

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 04:20:24 GMT

We were rebuilding the motor and as we were putting it back 2 weeks ago the frame was completely broke and it seperated. After what happend last yr my dad would not let me ride it with a broke frame, and would not take the chance of welding it. This was on a Sat around 3:30 by 5:30 I had a 08 Suzuki. Raced it Sunday. On Sunday another kid was racing on a Suzuki 85, cased a jump and the bike broke in 2. He was ok, but the bike looked like a chopper.

I found out on Sunday that alot of my friends had the same problem. Makes ya wonder. Still love the SUZUKI.

Football game tomorrow night, race this weekend.

Me and My Bike

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 15:18:36 GMT

As for me Im home doing good I think? My bike needs a new front end. I made it to Balance Mx to see all my friends it was really cool! I really got to thank John Balance for saving my life he did CPR until Air Vac got there. My mom said he was my Guardian Angel! The guys who were standing near the trailer I wrecked into were there they couldn't believe I was there and walking. I thank God I survived this wreck. I was 4th gear into a downhill jump I didnt realize the trailer stopped @ the bottom of the hill until it was 2 late. The guys said after the front wheel caught the edge of the trailer it slammed my body into the edge of it. It was a hay wagon type trailer. I tried 2 bail but it happend to fast I never touched the ground off the jump. It happened on 7/13 FRIDAY and I woke up on Wensday I was scared. I remember everything up to the crash. I cant believe I didnt break nothing but they did say I hit so hard I wasn't breathing I had a pluse but that was all, If John Ballance wasn't there I wouldn't be writing this. I just hope to ride again.

Before that can happen my mom said she will be CPR certified!!!!! You guys Im lucky I wear all my gear all the time even wen Im on my track @ home. It to saved my life.

Now for the complications I have a blood clot in my juglar in which im on blood thinners now, and I may have a touch of pnumonia? Everytime I think Im out of here theres somthing else. Im goin on 3 weeks here @ Vanderbilt Childrens Center one of the best childrens trauma center in the country! Ijust want to go home and get better. You guys were great I know my mom would print out the comments and emails and read them 2 me. I cant thank you all enough you were there for me and my parents when we needed support the most. I had some of the best nurses 1 of them in ccu Ill never forget her sons raced 2. She took real good care of me. Well again thanks for the prayers thats what got me back.

Racin

Sun, 13 May 2007 12:29:21 GMT

Well this year is turnng out to be pretty good so far. Im about ready to get advanced out of the beginner class which didn't matter to me anyway my main class is the jr minis. I do race 3 classes for track time more than anything in the state races. I dont mind being advanced but I wish they would advance everyone so the new people just starting out would have a fair chance to get better. Most the kids in that class have been racing for a few years. I have 1 yr and I'm good to go. It didnt take me long to figure out to twist the grip!! Oh yeah and my friend Brandon is about ready to get advanced to hes cool and a good rider. Heres a shout out Brandon were good!!!

AMA Race

Mon, 30 Oct 2006 09:54:57 GMT

I won my 1st AMA race @ Balance mx it was the Southern allstars. I was 1st in the 65 d class and 4th in the 10/11 yr olds. I wasn't suppose to race because it was the start of our football play offs and when they cancelled the game because our field at the hs was a mess. I was happy that meant I could go to the races.

You talk about deep rutts 1st moto was tough on everyone the burms were deep and if you took the wrong line you were stuck.I was trying to skim through big whoops but I ended up fliping it backwards.

My friend Zach won the East title and won the overall title at the shootout, and my other friend Luke finished 3rd overall.
