I've done a lot of riding at Waterman lately. Well I don't know if you can consider twice a week "a lot," but it sure seems to be. I feel like I have been improving at the Club 57 schools and am getting more and more ready for B class. Carrying more speed through everything and not coasting seem to be the key factors of going fast. To do that safely I need to get loosened up more on my bike. But I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get as loose as Jason Lawrence! That's just crazy!

There has been no snow riding recently partly because there is no snow! But some started falling down today, so I think I might go snow riding again if it keeps snowing.

My wrestling season is almost over. There's less than two weeks left, and I have no idea about how grueling they're going to be. Oh well. Last weekend I stepped in for an injured teammate and was able to win a varsity match. That was pretty cool!

Club57

I just got out of school and am heading towards waterman international raceway for a club57 school. Before last week I hadn't done that in a while. But last week I did in fact go to two club57 schools! Tuesday evening and Sunday morning. I am also starting to go to the gym a lot more with my dad. Saturday we did sine endurance training with running and rowing. Sunday we did all weight training, which I thought was pretty hard! :P And on Monday we swam for 35 minutes, which was 1 kilometer for us. It was the first time I had ever swam to work out and I think it was good for my stamina. This is all for getting ready for the racing season. There are also some big races coming up! These Tuesday Mx schools aren't liked that much by my wrestling coach that much, but it's ok. Motocross is my main sport. There are only about three weeks left in the wrestling season, too.

There hasn't been much snow falling here lately and it's somehow warming up. That's weird because 32 degrees farenheit isn't really that warm! Oh well. It's better than what we had before. :P

My dad and I have been listening to the moto show the past couple weeks. We were actually one of the first 10 people to send an email to Steve Matthes and Paul Lindsey with the correct answer to a question. So we won some headphones! Listen to a cool show AND win some stuff? I think that's a pretty cool deal! That's on pulpmx.com if you want to listen to it.

I also have a new helmet cam video up on YouTube from waterman. If you want to watch it, just follow this link that I should have up soon. Well I'm about a half hour from waterman now! Writing on my iPhone has been pretty good. :)

Riding once again

Hola everybody! Last week was my first week back at school. Hurray for learning! After a fun filled week of learning, I watched supercross with my family and friends. I was having trouble staying awake until about halfway through the 450 main. It was crazy! I think Ryan Dungey will do well this year for sure!

The next morning I got up and tried going ice riding to this place called Rocky Glen. But no, they didn't have their track plowed! After a few phone calls trying to find another place to ride, my dad and I decided to go to Waterman International Raceway. It's an indoor place. It was pretty good to ride again. I felt like my bike was bogging on the face of one jump quite a bit, but some laps it was fine.

Next weekend I might go racing at an arenacross, but I think it all depends on wrestling. There are two duel meets that weekend. I'll see later. Have a nice week!

Indoor mountain biking

Hello everyone! It's officially 2010! I spent the new years at Ray's indoor mountain bike park. It was awesome! I went with my family and friends. There we got to test our skills on a bike. :P A lot of the guys there were really smooth and good. They would just float over the jumps. I think by the end of our stay there I started getting better at jumping like them. So that was a lot of fun! I want to go back for sure! Hopefully soon. :)

During the night at the hotel there, the boys and I(and my sister :D) watched Travis Pastrana jump 269 feet in a rally car and then slam into the wall on the barge. That was pretty cool to watch. All the adults were out at a bar somewhere at that time. :P

Also, I had a wrestling match today, which I won 5-4. That was pretty cool.

Happy New Year's everyone!
