I'll be leaving tomorrow for the NBL Grand Nationals in Kentucky.



I had the opportunity to make a trip with some friends to the track a few weeks ago, so I'll be going into this grands a little more prepared than usual.



I'm sitting 3rd for points in 17-24 cruiser, and I'm 6 points from capped, so I have the chance to win the title



see ya there

    I've been through several shoulder dislocations since fall of 2005. Okay, so I think the official count is 7. But I just suffered the worst one a few days ago.

    I was over at Sean Louck's property and we were building some trails. It was about 6:00 and we had been riding/working all day. I went to pull a roller that we had just put in and shaped; and I came up a little short, bumping my shoulder enough to knock it out of socket. Sean's dad spent about 20 minutes with me trying to work it back in ourselfs, but my muscles had locked into place, so it was no good. I told them I needed to have it put back in at the hospital. An ambulance was called (not for me. Ironically, another incident happend at the same time. I just hitched a ride with one of the ambulances that came out.) The paramedics put me on an IV drip and gave me a shot of valium to stop the muscle spasms, and 10 mg of morphine. I got x-rays at the hospital, then I was sedated and my shoulder popped back in to place. This was after 9:00, so I spent about three hours with my shoulder out.



    The orders form the hospital were to stay in a sling and no sports till I got clearance from an orthopedist. I was to an ortho 7 or 8 months ago, and I know they wouldn't clear me. as for the sling, I got yelled at by a nurse because I took it off in the hospital, haha. I plan on surgery after my season is over. Hopefully I can make it to October without dislocating it again.

I'll be putting up some videos in a month or two. I've already got some racing and trails on camera. I'll be getting more when my local track opens. so check in soon

I started building trails over at my friend Sean Louck's property last weekend; they're gonna be pretty sweet when we get done. we put in a double and roller that hips into a berm. We'll get alot more done once we plan things out (and the ground dries so our tractor doesn't get stuck). It'll be nice to have a place I can ride anytime

The temperature is above freezing and the snow & ice are off my road, so I'm back to sprints.

Racing season is completely over for me, excpet for maybe the Christmas Classic.



So I've been hittin the gym three days a week.

lots of squats, leg curls, calf raises, all that fun stuff.

some free weight training, plyometric jumps.

I'm hoping to make a big splash into the 2007 year.



we shall see how it works out.

I am going to be racing in the Halloween Havoc 16-29 money open . There are two races, a race at Tri City BMX in upsate NY, which will be held on 10/20; and a race at CNY BMX in central NY, which will be held 10/21. Event coverage at www.bmxunderground.com
