I competed for the first time at Dodge Nationals. I didn't do very well. I broke my arm right before Nationals in Washougal and didn't get to race there. I went ahead and went to Dodge knowing that I didn't have enough time to strengthen my arm but, I ended up with 32nd int the 65 open and 26th in the 65 mod class and 14th in the 65 stock age. I am back to my workout program and on my bike.

I was asked to ride on the Hyoer X team in Washougal, It was a fun and exciting event, I had a blast.
They had team and points, I crashed my first day and ended up in 9th place but the next 2 days I came back and placed 1st in my age group. I ended up 4th over all. I had fun and enjoyed the team I rode for. Thankyou Stu (Hyper X) for inviting me. i am looking forward to next year.

I rode for the first time at a National race, I raced against 42 kids, In my first moto I placed 4th and then in my second moto I was in 4th went down in the S curved, got caught up in the ruts, I ended up 10th that Moto and Placed 7th over all. I was excited to be in the top ten, my goal next year is to be in the top 4.

I finished the Winter Challenge and got 2nd on my 50 and 3rd on my 65. I will be getting geared up for the Oregon State Challenge and the Pac West. I am going to mostly ride my 65.
