for the 2008 motocrss season i will be racing in the following classes: 125 AM. Stock, 125 AM. Mod, and Schoolboy in the AMA. As well as 125 AM. and Schoolboy in the Western New York Motocross Association.

I am officially out for the remainder of the motocross season do to a concssion and torn ligaments in the joint that connects my collar bone to my shoulder. I sustained this injury on Sunday September 30th while racing my dirtbike at Broome Tioga. When I crashed, I knocked myself unconcious for about 2 minutes and was backboarded to the hospital from the track. I am very sore and will not be in school for at the very least 3 days.










 
Over the weekend I had an overall pretty good weekend. On Friday I got to miss school to go down to Pleasure Valley Raceway for the Northeast Area Qualifier. On the way there, I stopped at Cernics and while I was there, I got a new 2007 RMZ-250 and got sponsored by six more companies, which are Cernics Racing, Scott USA, Dunlop Tires, Tag Metals, PR2 Suspension, and Ogio. Then on Saturday I also had a great day, I qualified 5th for the Northeast Amatuer Regional. Then on Sunday, I had a really shitty day. I fell down in both motos and ended up like 18th overall for the day. In the first moto, I got caught up in a second turn pileup and came back to 23d place. In the Second moto, I came off a pretty big jump and I was trying to jump past 2 guys in the air, but the guy to the left of me jumped across the jump and went right into me causing me to fall hard and i got up and finished the race in like 20th place. Now on Tuesday May 8th, 2007, I have to go to the doctor because I think that I broke my left collarbone and my left wrist is either really badly sprained or really badly jammed or possibly broken. If my wrist is broken, then I wont be able to race in the Northeast Amatuer Regional do to my wrist being in a cast. So, until tomorrow at quarter to 3 in the afternoon, Im going to be a little depressed and dissapointed at myself. Even though I get to get out of school at 2 o'clock and miss Spanish! So, Im really hoping that my wrist is not broken.

This past weekend I went to Pleasure Valley to get some practice on the track before the Loretta Lynn Amatuer Northeast Area Qualifier and I didn't do too well. In MX Lites C, I got 7th in the first moto after starting 17th or 18th and then in the second moto I started out about the same, but I got caught in a pile up in the second turn and started out 3rd to last and came back to 14th out of 41 riders for 12th place overall. Then in 125 Schoolbot 12-15, I started out in 2nd place and dropped back to 4th place by the second lap because of mistakes, but then there was a rough whoop section that I Blitzed through in 4th gear tapped out when my front end dropped on the last whoop and I cart-wheeled onto my back and pulled a muscle in my back pretty bad, but I came back to 5th in that race. In the second 125 Schoolboy moto, I sarted out 4th and then dropped back to 6th because of mistakes and because my back was really sore, so all in all, I did ok considering that the track was a muddy mess and then got really rough and that I crashed really hard coming out of the whoops and hurt my back to the point that I can barely walk and move without being in pain.
