This weekend was the weekend that we have all as bmxers fought so hard for. This weekend was state finals. Wow. What a day. What a season. What a year. Our season was cut short because of the crazy year we have had. We had to crunch all the qualifiers into a short time. But. We made it. Yesterday at finals was one for the books.
Our BEAST fought HARD. He raced some really fast kids. He walked away with number 3 in state. But he also ended the season with something worth way more than a plate, trophy, or certificate could ever give him. He walked away with tears in his eyes because he was so proud of himself. At the beginning of the season he made goals for himself. One of them goals was learning to be more aggressive and not back down. Let me tell you. Moto 1 of the state finals was THE BEST round for him all season. He walked away with a smile on his face from ear to ear with tears in his eyes as all he could say was "Did you see that? I did it" THAT! THAT is what it is about! Nothing could compare to him reaching goals he created for himself and being so proud of himself! As humans, we all are our own worst enemy. Kane definitely knows how to get into his own head and doesn't see just how talented he truly is. No matter how much people try showing and telling him. Yesterday, he finally seen with his own eyes, just what everyone has been trying to tell him.
Track Rat also went out and raced 7 experts, she is the newest, and only, 5 EXPERT for Indiana! Some may not agree. But that girl try's hard. That girl will smile from start gate to finish line and say "I went super fast. I did my best and I had fun" and thsts what it's about. Having fun. Doing your best. And being proud of yourself and believing in yourself. Maddi is the definition of a child that believes in herself. That girl just has such a happy soul. We could all learn something from her. Being the only 5 expert maddi walked away with number 1 for state this season! Let me tell ya! Her smile lit up the whole building! Her favorite part is when Barney Goodwin walked up to her and congratulated her! She said that made her feel special. Which I mean, she totally is! She is starting to find her real drive for pushing herself, which only means things are only going to get better for her!
These kids... they amaze us every single day with their big hearts, talent, passion, and drive for this sport and anything else they put their minds to. We cant wait to see where these kids go in life and in this sport. Just honored we get a front row seat to watch it all!
