Well so far this has been a rough start to the 2007 racing. First of all I was competing at the Wildflower Rush with the flu. I lost all my fluids and I was just drained. Then I had a clean, fast run with this sickness. I was proud that I made it alive through the race. But then this is what ruined my weekend. I past two riders blazing torwards the finish line and then the results had me behind those riders in front of me that I passed during the race. I informed Crested Butte and wrote the MSC and no response. They had me ranked 15th but the guys I passed were in the top 10 which really frustrated me. A week later I go to the G3 Gravity Series and I still was tryin to get all my strength back. I had major bike problems with my derailers clickin the whole way and my chain kept fallin off. Also my fork was spillin liquid out and just nothin could go right once again. Currently my bike is gettin fixed at a shop and Im hopin I get it back this week before Blast the Mass so I can go up there and hopefully have a race feeling healthy and no bike problems. I will be having new race photos being posted very soon so keep checking for them.

This week I will be heading to Crested Butte, CO. to race in the Wildflower rush downhill.  I will have results posted after my race. Right now im tryin to tune my bike and fix it all up hopefully before the race.

As we all know the Collegiate racing is over and the snow is coming.  Even though the snow is coming I will still be riding.  That is the advantage of going to Mesa State because of it's location in Grand Junction, CO.  Grand Junction does not get much snow and I can handle some coolness so I'll still be riding alot and getting better everytime.  My approvements have been amazing.  I have been on a dirtbike my whole life then switched to downhillin/Super D.  I am becoming comfortable on my 06 VP Free and improving everything that riding deals with such as balance, cornering, jumping, makin drops, and maneuvering the bike.  I will see you all who will be racing the Mountain State Cups this summer and im looking forward to getting better each race.

October 14, 2006-  I competed Super D at the Conference Finals and I think I did really well.  Still waiting for the results but as soon as they have them they will be posted.

Last week I raced at Beaver Meadows (west) of Fort Collins, Colorado. I am on the Mesa State downhill team from Grand Junction, CO. I really liked the course, it was slower but technical. Im still not sure time or place were still waiting for the CSU Rams to post them but I did pretty well. As for my sponsors I would Like to thank THE-Products and Azonic/Oneal.
