Ki Tracks Video

Hola!  This weekend I went to Ki Tracks for the first time in about two or three years.  The track was pretty different from the last time I was there.  It was good, though.  The track flowed well and it was a lot of fun.  It was good seeing some people who I rode with a few years ago.  Here's a helmet cam video I took there.

Some Pics

Yo! This week was pretty normal for me once again.  On Wednesday I went riding at Kody Kamm's house again.  I got to ride with some people there.  It was going good, but both my 450 and 250 had problems.  First the 450's rear sprocket got pretty much totally round.  Then later I got a flat tire on my 250.  Dang.  At the end Vaughn Mays was doing some step up on the huge wood chip pile there.  That was pretty cool!

Today I had a good bike ride at a local park while it was drizzling a little.  I rode for 20 miles, which felt good to do.  That's pretty much it for what happened this week.  Next week will be cool because it's the last week of school for me as a junior!  I'm pretty excited for the summer.

Here's some pictures from the past couple weeks:

It was really muddy at Steel City!

Qualifier and crazy rain

Hey everybody!  Last weekend was the Loretta Lynn's area qualifier at Byron Motosports Park.  The track is totally different this year.  But I think the racing remained similar.  I like how it's different now, though.  Over the two days of racing I had an overall not so good performance.  But by the end of Sunday I was riding like I should have rode all along.  This bad riding caused me to qualify in just two classes.  Oh well.  There were some fast guys there for sure.  My mom and sister also came out on Sunday even though it was Mother's Day.

On Wednesday it was supposed to rain all day.  But somehow it seemed to be fine out all day.  So my dad and I decided to go to Kamm's track to ride.  On the way there it just started pouring on us!  Hail was flying at our windshield.  There was even a tornado warning siren going off through one town!  But after going sideways in rain ruts we got to the track.  I put on my gear and rode.  Cliff Kamm groomed the track and everything.  It turned out good.  It was pretty cool landing from a jump and seeing lightning hit at the same time.  It kind of felt like I was in some movie where everything's timed to make everything look awesome.  Man, I'm glad we got out of there good!

Today my dad and I did an hour and 40 minute bike ride at a local forest preserve.  It was the first time in a while that we had rode there.  This fact made it seem kind of new to me.  Ok, it didn't really seem new, but it sure was good to get out and ride!

Have a nice day! -Greg
