Welcome to Texas!

Another 6 months almost since I entered words in this blog. I am successful at being very uninteresting.

thing is, I have more busy than ever and do not find where does work stop and where does private life starts anymore. Both are overlapping on each other and my Blackberry has become my most touched thing

RXR is going through some light structure changes in the US and that has taken a lot of my attention, worries, stress and hopes. The company is still wanting to finalize a deal with 1, 2 or 3 pro racers in the US and this has turn out to be a bigger challenge than I thought. It is a process that involves way too many people, but I agree and understand why.

Went to the US Open. That was a blast! A real cool race weekend in Nevada. Vegas is still the best party town for us, non-college people. Racing was actually pretty fun the second night.

 Been riding a lot again. Enjoying the 4-fiddy although still thinking I could do with a 250F. Will keep riding until someone buys my bike. We'll see then, whether 250 or 450 it is. 

Off-season is good. Less travel, more time to think. More time to relax and build.

Wow, more than 6 months since I updated my Vital Blog! Talk about consistency, I get a F.

Ok, I have to get back to doing it regularly.

I have been riding a lot recently, feeling way more comfortable on the bike. The small track at Club 57 is really gnarly. One that beats the sh!t out of you. Only 3 jumps but OMG it is tiring, rough like hell. Been there a few, and did more riding at Buffalo Range, especially on their mother of the Apocalypse Sand track! Sorry, no pics, last time we were only 2 and couldn't get anyone to take pics.

Going to Sunset Ridge MX in Walnut this weekend. Probably the coolest track around here. Easy, fun jumps and safe (www.sunsetridgemx.com).

My buddy Ken (MD member) launched his butt patch biz and new website. Check it out www.buttpatches.com

Here's a sample of his work.

What an awesome Fall Sunday we had here in Illinois. The weather was awesome with highs in the 70's and sunny. Took the little one for his riding class early this morning, helped a bit with the kids and worried as a dad. Well, this is MX, and the more he falls, the better he is. He did super good today though, made me very proud. Brad took them on the mini-track and T managed the up and down hills and all the obstacles. Some crying of course, but hey, at 5, it still happens a lot

We had a second school around noon, more kids, but mostly 85's. This was fun. We gave them a lot of fun stuff like riding with 1 hand only, riding with both legs on left side, then right side, lots of balance exercices. The boys were tired but had big smiles on their faces when they left.

So we hit the track at 3 pm. Wow, the track was hard, lots of ruts, soft sand, muddy patches and those rough corners with sand berm like Brad loves making them. Man, he makes the track as hard as possible, I bitch like hell during riding, I feel like I have had my arms chopped off after 2 laps and, at the end of the day, when you have loaded the bikes back on the truck, when you changed back to clean clothes and opened a freezing cold Gatorade, then you know that you had a blast. It was rough, tough, fun, super cool and you leave the track, happy with your riding, with your day and for spending great moments with friends.

Motocross forever Baby!!

Weather prediction don't look too cool for us next weekend. They talk of low 40's maybe light snow or sleet. Sheesh!!! I guess we are going to try to pack as much riding as possible during the week.

Photos soon.

Will be great fun. See you there.
