Were's Lichtle at?

Heard he was going to do the East rounds, haven't seen him at either.
Maybe Indy?

Should be able to qualify for either class easily in my opinion.

The Lichtle Story.....

Josh has always been one of the fastest kids at the track going back to 50's. he earned numerous amateur national titles competing with Davi, mike, Dungy Margrath....

In his transition to the pro ranks he had some priority issues with what was important.(family) He also crushed his ankle in the process.

After that he joined the cross X team with a nagging injury, he used to come off the track in tears, I would see him take his foot off the peg on every landing. Well the tears were from the agony of defeat and the pain. Also the team had bad bikes, leading to his bike quitting on the face of a Detroit supercross triple. (re-crushing his ankle)

From there Josh was on a bad path, i really didn’t talk to him anymore, there was a point when i hated him for what he had done. Taken that talent and thrown it away.

He was painting for MAC, painting houses and apartments. There came a point when real life out side of a life of winning and money had set in. (this is something that you have to experience to know how it feels, something that riders who went from am to pro will never understand (REAL LIFE)

Our Family has always been close, living in small motorhome traveling the country we really had no choice. Most of all my mom and dad have stuck behind Josh.

It was last year that Josh had his ankle fused; this was a huge transition for him. He could run, and i remember he jumped on his bad ankle 20 times with no pain for the first time in years and he said "Lichtles Back"

He has been down in Georgia Tanning with a drive that i have never seen. It seems the saying "what dose not kill you only makes you stronger is true" I have watched him race since he was 3yrs old., I have been watching him at the arena cross races and in practice but the old speed before the injury wasn’t there. We went to Indy supercross last weekend, Practice was the same thing it wasn’t there. It was in his qualifier that I finally saw that speed I remember. I am very interested to see what happens in Daytona.

He has all the right elements for success:
-His family supports him 110%
-he is ringing at IzzIs in GA (training hard)

MCR suspention has come through huge

Oneal Gear , Utopia, Muscle Milk

And most of all his mom and dad support.

While this time has passed I earned my bachelors in marketing and i plan to do everthing of my ability to market and promote josh.

Next month we will be running a Legend of Lichtle one footer contest at www.schwagon.com. Keep you eye out for the ad in Playground mag in April.

Billy, what injuries came from wrapping himself around that tree at Dutch a bunch of years ago? That was a gnarly crash.
