Shoutout to my parents for all their support! I am an issue on and off the track, although my parents call me "Chubz" and not the "Issue" at home. They take the grunt of helping me to stay focused cause, like I said, I am an issue for them 95% of the time (not just those I ride with. Lol! ) and for that, I love and appreciate them. I know they always got me no matter what. Today, I was having a really rough day. I was dealing with some personal physical issues that were causing me a lot of discomfort and affecting my ability to ride at my best. I almost missed Crusier Mains, but I made it to the gate with 5 motos to spare. I took 5th after making a slight mistake, hitting another riders back tire, causing me to slip a pedal and rear off. So I had to reajust. Then my mom helped me out a lot after, and I was able to feel a little better and be more comfortable to pull off a 1st🥇in class for Mains today. Friday, I had a bad gate and had to make up alot of ground but I was able to recover from 8th and take 2nd🥈in class, and on Saturday, I took 1st 🥇in class but crashed in Semis for crusier.
I am so proud of my little sister Avanna for pulling off a 2nd 🥈 Friday, 1st 🥇Saturday, and 2nd 🥈 Today in 7 Girls Expert eventhough she wasn't feeling well most of the weekend due to having an allergic reaction on Friday she rode hard and finished strong!
I am most proud of my little 4yo brother Phaidon, who raced his 1st ever pedal bike race and National on a pedal bike as a 5 and under novice Friday. He did really well and even made it to Mains 🏅. 🗣 Jaxson "Jumping Jax" Horne he said he was still coming for you. My brother got track beef to finish. Lol! 🤣😂
This weekend taught me a lot about my abilities and skills as a rider and person, as well as how to navigate and not give up during stressful situations.
Shout to my team In The Zone for getting to ride in the parade lap Friday and also making sure I was OK when I crashed in crusier Semis Saturday. I really appreciate y'all!!!
The best part of my weekend was chilling with my friends and going swimming with my pal Jay Smith, who also had a pretty good race weekend.
I really enjoyed watching all my NC friends and teammates race as well as the new friends I made near and far.
Can't wait to get back home to rest and play Call of Duty. Follow me on YouTube Preston George Gaming and my FB page Preston George Gaming if you want to watch me play.
See y'all next time at a National near you!
