I race just about every weekend, attend MX School every Monday at Sunshine MX Park in St. Petersburg, and practice every Thursday at Dade City MX. It’s exciting to race at Dade City where Ricky Carmichael and Bubba Stewart got started! I placed in the Top Ten Overall at Dade City 2008 Points Champonship Series and 2nd at Dade City in the Summer Series.

My favorite riders are Chad Reed, Josh Hill, Ryan Dungy, Davi Millsaps, and Ryan Villiopoto. My mom and dad also took me to the Atlanta, and Daytona SX and this summer we hit Unadilla where I met Bubba Stewart, Ryan Dungy, Josh Hill, Tim Ferry, and Kyle Chisolm.

I just qualified at Reddick SE Qualifier, The track was gnarly and Our class was the the last moto of the day, so it was rutted. In the first moto, I got a poor start, but passed a few riders, ending with a 6th place. In Moto 2, My start was better, the competition was fierce I battled back and forth with another rider for position, but held him off and kept 5th. My key to success was keeping it on 2 wheels as many in the field went down that day!

I am headed to Regionals and will be looking to qualify for Loretta Lynn’s for 2009. Thanks Loco MX for all your support!
