2008-2009 FTR MX Series

Mon, 18 May 2009 16:07:36 GMT

Well the season is over and it has been way better than last year. I managed to healthy all season with little problems. I did have a few crashes, some mechanical issues, etc. but all in all i am very pleased. I ended up winning the 65 7-9 championship and placed 2nd overall in the mod. class.

I am really hoping to place 1st in both classes next season. I have actually rode most of the tracks on the schedule for next year which should help. Of course I couldn't have done any of this without the help of my sponsors! I want to thank Debbie at sixsixone, all the guys at Dunlop, SMX for the coolest goggles Kitsch for coaching me an keeping the bikes 100%, and of course Klotz oil for keeping my bikes running great!

Thanks and I will be posting more blog soon!

Getting Ready for RD#6

FTR Motocross Series

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 17:02:08 GMT

Well the season is over and it has been rough. I managed to start off the season on a 50cc and ended it on a 65cc. As most of you know I broke my wrist after my first 65cc race at Hardrock in Ocala. I ended up missing 4 rounds of the series because of it. I managed to place 10th in points by the end of the series.

I am really hoping to place top 3 or better next season. I have actually rode most of the tracks on the schedule for next year which should help. We also purchased a toy hauler so we can get plenty of rest while racing. Of course I couldn't have done any of this without the help of my sponsors! I want to thank Bob at FCR, Debbie at sixsixone, all the guys at Dunlop, SMX for the coolest goggles, and of course Klotz oil for keeping my bikes running great!

Thanks and I will be posting more blog soon!

Well it was my first race back since the wrist break and it wasn't all bad. I had to stop and realize that this was only my second 65cc race ever. In the first moto I got a great start, 4th, but fell towards the end of the first lap. I ended up with a 10th. On my second moto I got another good start,6th, but was still a little nervous and ended up with a 14th. I took a 13th overall!

Hey guys, sorry it has been so long since I posted anything but I broke my wrist in two places Nov. 18th during practice. I am doing well and will be back riding on 12/22 if all goes well. I ended up missing two races because of this. I hope to be able to attend Round #6 of the FTR motocross series, if not #7 for sure.

I started racing my 65 cc at Reddick for round 4 of the FTR MX Series. It was a rocky start but one I put behind me. I started off well with about a mid pack start but another rider took me out about half a lap in. I got up, got my bike up, started it and was in last place out of 26 riders. I managed to get back to 19th in just a lap and a 1/2. The second moto was going well I was in 12th but stalled in the second to last corner and never got my bike started. I will be at Hard Rock MX Sunday working on some basics.

Well today was my first day back racing in Florida. We are running the FTR MX Championship Series. The first round was in Bithlo. I was in the 19 moto and took a 4th. I actually was running in third until a went down in a corner, man that track is slick. I was unable to run the second moto due to bike failure.

We have not been racing but I have been working hard getting ready for the new season. I have also been learning how to ride my KTM 65. Thanks to all my sponsors for allowing me to do what I love.

It was another great weekend at hardrock cycle park. The track had been changed so it took a little getting used to. I was lucky because I got there a little early and rode it a few hours prior to the race. It paid off for me. I ended up winning the overall for the night. That was my third straight win in a row. That is a new one for me. Thanks to all my sponsors Universal Engineering, Motoword Racing, ASV, SixSixOne, Steel MX, Motorex, and Engine Ice. I would also like to say if anyone is ever in the Ocala Florida area you should really check out HardRock.
