The first weekend of January I went down to Park X MN, and at the last minute decided to run the pro classes. It was a lot of fun and a good experience to race with a lot of the top guys, since most of Team Arctic was there, and Ski-doo's top riders. Qualifying went well, I was usually running in the top 5 or 6, but a couple good wipe outs and getting D'Qd out of one race for not having enough orange on my helmet, kept me out of the Stock final. I did make it into the Pro Open Final and finished in 9th place, which I was pretty happy with.  Since then we have only had one other race, and it was at Winnipeg, MB this past weekend.  That one didn't go as planned, I just couldn't seem to get going all weekend, and ended up 3rd in both finals.  It did get me super motivated to get back to winning though, so thats the plan for this weekend :)

I went to the Inaugral UCSA sno-cross race in Flin Flon MB this past weekend.  The new circuit did a fine job I thought and it was fun to be out racing again.  Qualifying on saturday went well, I was able to win 3 our of 4 heats. On sunday I took 2nd in Pro stock, which was kind of a bummer, but crap happens, Open went well as I was able to lead start to finish.  The new cats feel really good this year, I should have some new pics up soon, so check back.

Thanks to all my sponsors this year: Arctic-Cat, Yorkton Dodge, Studboy, Kutcher Bros, Team, HMK, Powermadd, Slednecks, SixSixOne, and my parents for helpin me out.

The Slednecks crew has been cool enough to help me out this season and I really appreciate it. I look forward to trying out their new clothing, it looks wicked. Log on to slednecks.com to check out all their new gear and pick up a copy of Slednecks 10, it rocks.

The MX season is about to start. Our first race is this sunday, so I'll try to get some bike pics and stuff on here in the next little bit.

I went to my final sno-x race of the year this past Saturday. I had a great time racin with guys like Blair Morgan and Aaron christensen, It was super warm all day, and it was just alot of fun to be out there. Ended up 2nd to 7c in both finals, but awell, i'm already looking forward to next year, its gonna be good.

Saturday qualifying went very well: The finals on Sunday were a bit up and down. In the Pro 600 class I made a mistake and came off, I was still able to come back to 4th by the end of the race. In Pro 440 I had a mechanical failure, and had to pull off. Pro Open, went much better, as I was able to holeshot the race and lead start to finish.

We went to the season opening MWR race this past weekend, in Haugen, Montana. Qualifying went real well, I was able to win a few heats and took a third in the Pro440 Final. The Pro open final was a bit dissapointing, a bad start and not riding as well as I should have left me back in 6th at the finish, but it was still a really fun weekend and a good trip.

Our season opening race was this past weekend in Russell MB. Everything went fairly well, I was able to win all my qualifiers and two out of three finals. It was a good rider turnout in the Pro classes, which is good to see, and I'm really looking forward to the next race.

All my info and race results will be posted shortly.
