JXC Round 5

Session 1- Youth Super Mod

HOLESHOT!!
I got a fantastic start and was leading for the first half lap. I hit a log and blew a corner and fell to 4th place in about three seconds. I passed the guy in front of me pretty quickly and was running 3rd. I made it to the third lap when I realized something was badly wrong with my steering. I pull off and found dad. My steering stem ripped out of the frame!
I needed to run the adult session in one hour and we had to make quick work.
We needed a welder and needed it quick lol. We asked around the track and no one had one. If you know my dad, you know he doesn’t give up. We hopped in the SXS and started down the road, knocking on doors. About two miles down, there was a neighbor that had a welder and was more than willing to let us use it!! He SAVED THE DAY and my race points!!
We got the frame welded and made it back to the track in time for my second race.

Adult session - Schoolboy

I got a decent start, about mid pack. I hit the pro hill but didn’t make it. Rolled back down to the bottom and hit the go around line. This put me behind my class and I knew I had to make up time. I rode pretty clean after that, put my head down and started making passes. I got stuck on another hill and that put a big gap between me and the leader. I made some more passes and got up to 2nd and stayed there the rest of the race.
The day prior to this race, I blew the sidewall out on a rear tire. My dad patched it and put a tube in it. The tube busted in the first session so I had a flat tire right off the start. I didn’t let it hold me back and rode a great race.

It was a busy weekend but it wouldn’t have been possible without my parents and my amazing sponsors:

I got the opportunity to participate in the Yamaha BLU CRU GNCC University Summer Camp!

This was a training camp that was hosted by Yamaha and gave riders the opportunity to ride and train with professional ATV riders. Some of the best riders in the Nation were there, like Walker Fowler, Wyatt Wilkin, Johnny Gallagher, Levi Coen, John Glauda and several others.

They taught us about using our bodies and weight in cornering, choosing the best lines, not only the fastest but smoothe and safe or risky. How to take downhills faster, safer and more efficient.

Not only did I learn a lot, it was awesome to hang out with the pros and my racing friends.
