First Race back since 2001

So I decided at the last minute to race up to The Mountain MX park and race this weekend.  This was my first race back since Loretta's in 2001.  I decided on racing the MX lites C class due to not riding for so long.  It was Round 9 of the Southern All Stars series.  I had the pre race jitters but after moto one and the adrenaline started pumping all those jitters went out the window and I couldn't get enough of it.  I placed 3rd overall and feel my pace and riding ability were well over that of 1st and 2nd place yet my downfall was my endurance I couldn't even hold on near the end this is what I have been trying to work on and will continue to progress.  I can't ride as long as I used to be able too as well I feel some has to do with suspension issues which should be solved by Pro Works Racing Suspension shortly in the future.  If anybody has workout ideas to reduce arm pump please post. As you can tell from the photos I am in need of a Decal and Riding Gear sponsor.  I used duct tape for numbers as no shops were open but hey how much power do numbers add to your bike anyways.  Ill post a few pics from the race.

Got something to say?
