Updates from Jesse Miller

Summer

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:18:36 GMT

Hey, I havent been racing to much due to a crack in my radiator. But that is all fixed up as of today. I had a great practice at mission raceway before my radiator cracked. I started off the day just geting used to a new suspension set up. I have grown a little recently so i moved my bars into the next postion forward to open up a little more room. With these two changes it has helped me so much. By the last moto of the day i was definately going the fastest i have ever gone on my 125. I was clearing jumps that i had never done and my corner entry speed was a lot better. I will start racing sometime in august. My plan is to start racing the CMRC Kawasaki canada fall series. I will be racing every round except the round in prince george. The CMA golden harvest series will also fit into my fall schedule. I just accepted a sponsorship offer from printwerx and am quite excited. I have used there backgrounds for several years and i know from experience that they are good graphics. My Printwerx graphics have never faded or rubbed off by the wear and tear of racing. So if you are ever looking for some good backgrounds, I urge you to give printwerx a try!
                                                            Thanks to all my sponsors

Spring/ Summer practicing

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 09:27:28 GMT

Hi everyone, I have been practicing a ton lately and i have made a bunch of changes to my track so it can acomodate higher speeds and bigger jumps. I have been working on my corner speed a ton and i can get on the throttle faster on my big bike now. I can push right to the end of the 30 min motos i have been laying down recently. I have been running a lot and exercising to keep my fitness up. The heat has been really bad recently so it makes it tough to ride in the middle of the afternoon. I will be racing shortly I just need to get my clutch fixed as soon as the parts come in. Thanks for the support everyone.

My bike is ready to go as i have had lots of time. i plan to make a strong comeback.

New bike!!!!!

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 17:01:02 GMT

I got my 2006 kawasaki kx 125 a month or two ago and i love it. It needs to have the suspension set for my weight because the previous rider was like 40 pounds heavier. It is so fast i can barely hang on. It is ported and has a high compression piston, pro circuit exhaust, vforce reed, and lots more. I cant wait to race this bike outdoors.

No Toil industries

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:06:52 GMT

I joined forces with No Toil industries this year. I am pumped that I could be part of such a great team of enthusiastic riders. I have been using no toil air filter cleaner and airfilter oil for about two years and it is truly the best air filter cleaner out there. Every one who reads this should stop using petroleum based air filter cleaners and switch over to the good stuff. Gasoline and other harsh liquids can wreck the filter over a period of time and eat away at the filter glue. No toil will keep air filter maintenance to a minimum.

An Amazing Autumn

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:14:43 GMT

I am amazed with the weather this fall! we have had almost 5 weeks of sunshine. I have usd this to my advantage by riding almost everyday. I have been doing 30min moto's on my practice track. I have recently made my track leaps and bounds better with a new roller section after the triple step up. I have also extended my step up into a 40ft. gap. I learned to scrub it yesterday, I built up enogh confidence to whip my bike off the face and straighten it out. The pics are absolutely Killer! I want to thank Utopia tons for keeping me hooked up with tinted lenses because when i ride in the evenings the sun shines right at me. The glare used to make me stop riding but with utopia's new tinted lenses i can ride till like 7:00pm because i dont get glare in my eyes. Count on me racing the toyota yamaha arenacross series this winter. I will be trying hard this year! Last year was a learning experience to the whole arenacross thing but this year the action is on.

A rainy summer

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:24:34 GMT

Hey, i havent been bloging very much due to extreme bike maintenence. I competed in the 2008 B.C championships series and i pulled off a 3rd overall. I got a nice plaque with my name and everything on it. My friend has been working on a pretty cool track at his hose so i have been putting in a ton of time on a skid steer, dozer, evcavator, and tractor. I have not been riding a ton lately but when it stops raining i will be ridin a ton on the new track. I was in 1st overall for like 2 weeks in the mission tuesday series before our family went on vacation which bumped me down to like third but i will be keepin it pinned to try to regain some valuable lost points. I have been on my rode bike every day that it is sunny lately to keep my physical fitness up there. Well i will try to keep you guys updated more often for the rest of the year. Jesse Miller #162

Preparation for 2008

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:03:14 GMT

2008 has now started and my slack off months are over (Dec.-Jan.). February is now upon us and I have started training for the new season. I will be doing 20min runs and weight training for now. When the snow melts i will be back on my rode bike and getting my endurance and strength back up. When my track dries off i will be doing a lot of moto's, working on my corners, and getting back up to race speed. I am planing to be at least a top 5 in my classes (supermini - 85ccA). I will be racing the Golden Harvest series, the 661BC MX championships, The 2008 CMA amateur nationals, and i might make a run for the border (united states) and do some races at hannegan. I am planning to purchase a 2008 KX 85 and hop it up in a week or two. It should be some great racing. See you all at the races and watch for #162

Canadian National arenacross championships

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 20:35:51 GMT

I am heading into the final round sitting in 6th place due to one crash and a hurt knee. I did well at the first two rounds and was unable to attend the third and forth round because i had no way of getting there. I was heading into the fifth round and i was doing great in practices and qualifyers. I was mixing it up and running in the top three speedwise. I qualified for both my races and was looking forward tot he main event. In the first lad of the main event i came in contact with another rider which really hurt my knee. I stumbled through and managed t o pull off a sixth place. Again in the sixth round i had a problem in the main event again. I took a rut next to the rut of a rider in front of me, and then the other riders rear wheel bounced into my rut and i hit his rear wheel. The collision sent me over the bars in the first lap. I finished the race and salvaged a 6th place again. hopefully things go better for me in the last two rounds

2007 Goldern Harvest series

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 19:12:37 GMT

I just finished th final round of the cma golden harvest series. I finished just outside the top3 and inside top5. I was battling the intense mud all race long and then i ran out of tearoffs about half way through. I then made a charge back into 4th place. A nother notable finish was 6th at mission.

2007 B.C. Amatuer Nationals

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 11:32:24 GMT

The b.c. amatuer nationals were held in agassiz. Day one was perfect riding conditions with rain in the morning and sun in the afternoon. Practice was good and i stayed upright so thats a bonus. In the first moto i surprised myself with an 8th place finish in my first race of the year. In the second moto i rode smart and got another 8th place. Day 2 was not looking good with rain all night long. practice was super fun and i was looking forward to the third moto. In the third moto i rode hard and smart to stay upright. I was quickly reeling in 6th place when i jumped onto a step on step off and my chain snapped. that was a dnf for moto 3. Luckily i have an old 2002 kx 85 for a practice bike and it is a stock bike. I rode the wheels off that thing and was only able to manage a 10th place overall which was the last trophy spot. I would like to thank my sponsors Gateway powersports, Utopia goggles, sixsixone, canadian kawasaki, and rmr suspensions. Jesse Miller #162

Mission tuesday practice

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 09:41:36 GMT

On teusday, April 3rd, 2007 i raced my friends Kx 100 because both my bikes are in the shop getting their engines rebuilt for the new season. The Mission track was pretty muddy and was full of ruts. I practiced looking ahead in ruts and not looking right infront of me. we got 2 moto's in before it got to dark too ride. I had fun and got some more track time in for this season.

Agassiz practice

Mon, 02 Apr 2007 20:47:15 GMT

I went for my first ride in 2007 on a track other than mine. It was a pretty good day for riding at agassiz motocross track. It was the first race for my my friend Greg who is new to racing. I practiced corners and looking ahead rather than looking down. I blew the top end in my 2002 kx while i was 3rd gear tapped heading towards a corner after a table top. I had fun but it sucked when my top end blew. I had fun and thats what counts.

I am back

I just got back from my vacation with my family in Mexico. We bought a new John Deere tractor shortly before we left so im goind to be finishing off my track as soon as the rain stops for awhile. My bike is getting the engine redone and is almost finished. I now have saved up $2,400 from summer jobs and I am going to get a klx 110 for a pit bike.
