I ran the Desert Super Course #2 on April 12, 2008. I ran a pretty good race and managed a 3rd place finish in my class. the first lap was a little bit hectic as it was a le mans start and people were scrambling all over the place. unfortunetly one of the racers in the 40+ Nov Class lost control on some sand and ended up face planting right in the middle of the trail. he got run over by two other racers and though i wanted to just move out of the way and continue on my way, my heart told me otherwise. So, i dropped my bike and went and helped him out. he was pretty tore up. blood pooling out of his helmet from his nose and mouth and he didnt knwo where he was. i got him uo and offf to the side of the trail and checked him out best i could. luckily, another racer stopped and had a cell phone on her and called back for an ambulance and help. last i heard he has some fractured ribs and probably a concussion but he was at home doing fine. hope to se him again in the June race.

after that ordeal, i sped off in hopes of making up some valuable lost time, about 12 minutes worth. I think i did it, by the end of the 2nd lap i was in 3rd place and i held onto that the rest of the course.

it was fun and i am really looking forward to the june sunrise course and some more competition.

Well, I went out and gave it my all, unfortunetly I got slammed into by another rider going about 40 mph, flipped me and knocked the bug turds outta me. I have no idea what happened to him or even exactly who it was. So my nose is broke, and the ambulance crew said I had a small concussion, and a load of bruises and scrapes and cuts.. The bar mounts and the bars on my bike are completely wacked out, and the forks are twisted pretty good.. I managed to limp back to the finish line, but couldnt remember starting the race.....What can I say though... Better luck next time...

!!! MAN MY DAMN HEAD HURTS !!!

What about ME?!?

What inspires you to compete?

I love competition, any kind of competition, from tearin up fools online in HALO, to seeing who can finish dinner the fastest with my kids. Its just in my nature I suppose. I rode a three wheeler when I was a kid and finally when i got the opportunity to get a bike last year, I just ran with it. I push my envelope as far and as hard as I can everytime I ride, so I guess it was just a matter of time before I decided to make the jump into competition. I aint no little cry baby sore loser, but I hate to lose!!!!!!!!

Describe your style...

POINT and CLICK......

Music?

Everything- Anything...you name it....I got XM in my truck and I probably listen to just about every channel on it...I love music....

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Last year right after I got my bike----first time I went out on it...I hit every dang thing there was to hit or run over...It was pretty bad....but thankfully....I have improved 4000 fold since then....Nothins too big of an obstacle for me now!!!..
