What a bad weekend for us!

[quote="flarider":3dop2aus]Who is "us?"[/quote:3dop2aus]

Us is my rider Mike McDade and I. Ben Ritter is also riding for Serious Racewear in East Lites SX with his family and mechanic Justin Desjarden. Paul McDade drives our rig. Larry Winter's of Serious Racewear backs us. The Wonder Warthog Team helps us out at the races.

[quote="nc97":2n7t87rs]Mike looked a lot better by the end of the day ( sat ) .He looked real tight to begin with but looked a lot better by the last practice. I figured it was the whole atmosphere and all that had freaked out a little. Hope you guys can come by and practice in NC after Indy . Lonnie made a lot of changes to the track yesterday. Good luck this weekend![/quote:2n7t87rs]

The whole weekend Mike and Ben didn't ride like themselves at all! Being both of their first supercross races, I think many things contributed in them having a terrible night. They were both very disappointed and got a good wake up call.
So far both put in a ton of work so far this week. Our plan is after Indy to go straight back to Izzi's for a day then head to Goerke's to ride on sandy supercross before Daytona. Things can only get better. Hope we can put it all together and ride like I know they can.

[quote="flarider":2a2bzvtu]so you own Serious Racewear?[/quote:2a2bzvtu]

No my boss does!

[quote="flarider":3m438vfq]Well, when you say things like "us" and "my rider" it makes it confusing[/quote:3m438vfq]

I'm McDade's full time mechanic. I also work for Seriousmx.com updating the website with photos and video. We are all a team and go everywhere together. Its a neat little program we have going. Now we just need results, which I know will come in the next week or 2.

[quote="mw21784":3ewcafj8]so chris does nico still the sick outdoor track now that hes added the SX and whoop track? that place looks sick as hell and look forward to seeing some more pics that you get from his place this week[/quote:3ewcafj8]

Yes his outdoor track is really nice and long! Over 3 minute laptimes! I took these pics from a tower they have. Behind me the track extends all over the place. Monday it was muddy on that track and Mike took a couple laps to kill time while the SX track was being changed. Worst part was we were testing the race bike and he got it all smegged up! Took me well over a hour to get all the mud removed from every spot you can imagine! haha Testing went really good though and the suspension is wayyyyyyy better then it was at Atlanta.

Nico's outdoor.

[quote="Huckster":1dghm7vi]I thought you were wrenching for justin rando?[/quote:1dghm7vi]

I was but his money flow just isn't there. We are still good friends and I was trying to get him to come to Izzi's. He's been training really hard and flying! Plans on doing 450 Nationals this year.

[quote="KAWboy14":3v2lyngp]why would anyone show up at a sx unprepared?[/quote:3v2lyngp]

Our suspension didn't come back til 4 days before the event. Sometimes things don't workout like you want them too but you still try your hardest to do the best you can.
