2012 WMX Hangtown Start

2012 Hangtown WMX

I apologize for the delay of my race reports! Things have been pretty non-stop since the season began on May 19th in Sacramento, CA.

Unfortunately I can’t say I kicked off the season as I had hoped to at Hangtown. Bike issues and jitters got the best of me. I crashed in moto one and just struggled the rest of the day. : [ I went 14, 10 on the day for 11th overall.

2012 Freestone WMX

The following weekend we traveled to Dallas, TX for Freestone. We began to turn things around there. The track was great in practice and I felt like I had a good flow.

There were a couple obstacles that I didn’t master until late in the day, which hurt me. But my good starts and heat preparation helped me compensate once it was race time. My 5, 7 score gave me 7th overall in Texas.

I can’t say that I’m completely content with how I did. I’m aware that there were a few issues within my control that I could have changed to result in better finishes. Thankfully it was an improvement from the week before, I’m healthy, and I learned a lot to take with me to CO for round 3!

I’d like to thank my family, friends, and sponsors for all their support. We’ll be pitting with Team Gus this season, so come say hi if any of you will be attending the nationals. I’ll be in touch next week to inform you on how Thunder Valley goes. Wish me luck!
