Can you get some of my friend (and sons agent) Harold Glissen? I would greatly appreciate it! Harold introduced me to Doug at the Daytona SX and they were talking then of him coming to Baja. Im glad he decided to go!

Thanks

I met Harold this past Sunday at Baja MX where the games are being held this coming Saturday (they have three days of racing over the Memorial weekend). I somehow broke a footpeg on my YZ 250 and I noticed a guy with three Yamaha's in the pits across from me so I went up and asked to borrow a peg. Harold didn't hesitate... told me to take one off the YZ 250 he had under his awning. It was only then that I noticed his left forearm and hand were missing. He seemed to be one heck of a nice guy and come to find out he was born that way and ha been riding all his life and even possesed a pro license at one point! I am going back Saturday to ride and to watch these guys in action. Here is Harolds website for those interested.

He is a great guy would do anything for anyone. He's racing the Adaptive Limb Difference class number 248 on a Yamaha. They are actually there right now for practice later in the day.

Justin Weeks will be there as well. he just started riding again maybe alittle over a month ago. should be some good racing. its amazing how fast these guys can still go.

it would be nice to get some decent coverage of this event. I think it deserves a class at lorettas.

Hey Sondy!

I'm parked right next to Doug and we were looking over the track. Good stuff. Doug is one of my long-time heros and he's always smiling. Love that guy!

BTW..It's freakin pouring rain right now and we are supposed to start practice in about 3 hours.

its been hard to get out. raining ALOT here. they have been working with bike setup. he can shift with his left foot, but cant use his right foot for the brake. so they made a custom line for the front master cylinder to go 50/50 front and back brakes. got a seat belt for his legs. no cage.
as far as his recovery, its amazing. still uses his chair alot but gets around pretty good with arm/wrist crutches and NO braces on his legs.
i think pant saggin is going with him to make a video. so thatll be cool.

A good family friend of ours back in the day (Tim Aston) had a very promising career, then he got in a streetbike accident and lost his leg below the knee. He had a trick '84 KX125 that they made a rear disc brake for him and he used a hand brake on the clutch side, he still went really fast and rode the pro class. It was pretty funny, during the testing of prosthetics sometimes his leg would fall off, the looks from people watching when his leg came off were priceless! He was such a cool dude and came from a really good family, his brother Billy was a riot! Grew up with them from way back when were on 50's.

Sbarrington Scottie is being humble, Tim Aston kicked ass before and after he lost his leg, he was just an amazing rider with a natural born talent to race moto. Anyone who was at Sandhill Ranch in the 80's knew Timmy and he would annihilate riders like Kehoe, Holland, Lechien on that track haha Shame he lost his leg, still fast but lost his drive along with that leg =*(

Justin still has his drive, and i think thats what has got him to where he is in his recovery. And like Tim, Justin will still kick ass.

Doug had crutches at Daytona and I too was amazed how he got around! The more support and press we give these guys will just make for an even better event next year!!

Just so you all know the "X Games" cancelled the Adaptive Class (why I dont know and did so just recently). Many of these guys were training not only for The Extremity Games but also looking to qualify for the X games....what a bummer for them.

been raining non-stop all morning, forecast looks crap for today. Good thing that track can take a lot of rain, sandy base. Track will probably be ideal for saturday.

wow, i did not know that about xgames. thats a bummer.

mxsports needs to step it up and make a class for loretta lynns. even if its a combined para/amputee at first to see how it does.
