First off, my brother has always been my inspiration as a rider. He grew up racing with guys like James Marshall, Clayton Miller, and all the fast Texas riders. With me being the younger brother I always wanted to ride like him. His smooth style is something that gets pointed out all the time by riders that have no idea he's my brother b/c he is really low key at the track. After I raced Loretta's this year, I finally accomplished what he never did, and I certainly am way faster than he is, but I still believe he has way more talent. He is now a stay at home Dad, while his wife works her tail off owning a hair salon in The woodlands near 3 palms area.

This is a sick video of him testing the waters with his Swivel Mounted with a GOPRO 4 yesterday on the 3 Palms GP track, and thought you guys might like it.

Here's to you big BRO!!!

It just free floats. You can change the gyro effect of it by adjusting the counter weight in or out. This was the first try at it so I haven't tinkered with it much yet.

yup! 13 crf450, I rode it for about 3 months, spent money on it doing everything I wanted to it, but never got it where I wanted it to be at, so I bought my 300 XC and turned it into a Moto Bike.

his kids are awesome, tough at times, but Rider Patrick McPherson (RPM JR) is in his avatar, and a smart little kid. He's gonna be a little shredder when the time comes.

First off, my brother has always been my inspiration as a rider. He grew up racing with guys like James Marshall, Clayton Miller, and all the fast Texas riders. With me being the younger brother I always wanted to ride like him. His smooth style is something that gets pointed out all the time by riders that have no idea he's my brother b/c he is really low key at the track. After I raced Loretta's this year, I finally accomplished what he never did, and I certainly am way faster than he is, but I still believe he has way more talent. He is now a stay at home Dad, while his wife works her tail off owning a hair salon in The woodlands near 3 palms area.

No doubt you guys showed me the way, line selection, style, bike setup...The experiences at the races go on and on. I think I had a few more crashes than Eric had. He wasn't ever much of a crasher, and seems to walk around a little better than I do!

Remember when he beat Dave Shade at Mills Road? I think Eric was on his 125 too!


He doesn't seem all that fast in this video mostly b/c its a dry tuesday, but he is always in 3rd gear, guy just keeps short shifting this thing and uses the 450 the way it should be for a +30 A rider.
