I'm pretty sure this was Justin's first AM National back after injury and he put in some impressive rides at Ponca. He threw down a 6th overall in 250 Stk pro and top 3 in 250 Mod pro w/ a third overall. Beating Audette straight up in moto 2 and throwing down lap times less than a second off the leader.


Very impressive showing.


Also Landon Currier came back strong from injury at Ponca,. Landon won a title in the 250 4 stroke non pro class and finished 2nd and 3rd overall respectively in schoolboy and 250 stk int. Landon should be pro by now but some pretty bad injuries have held him back and I'm just glad to see the NW prospect back ripping on a bike.

If you guys haven't seen Ponca results and would like to you can check out the results from all the classes here.

Kind of brutal that nobody else wants to say congrats to a vital poster getting top 3 in the pro class at a AM national.

If I would of said so and so is a prick and this and that sucks I would of gotten 20 pages.

Yeah I saw it.. He was only like 12 years old or so at the time. They swapped with a tree hugging motoX hating hippy family. Pretty funny really. Jeffro.. do you remember a video a while back of those tree huggers in the forest crying about the trees? That's pretty much the family Justin swapped with.

Hmmm??............yeah...we have a ton of tree's out in my neck of the woods. we cut them down , pull the stumps and build MX tracks. If tree huggers show up.....they usually don't make it back out of the woods. Damn hippies.

Long story short : My dad bought a 110 acre chunk of land from a guy by the name of Larry Godfrey. he actually believed he was Jesus and walked around with no shoes. our property was completely full of Marijuana , as him and like 10 other lived in little tents and so forth on the property. All of them were flashback people from the 60's.......it was a site to see. My dad got the property extremely cheap as Larry needed the money. he came back like 5 yrs later a normal person and wanted to buy it back......my dad pretty much told him to fuck off. `

I got to see Justin ride at the Birch creek regional and the kid can rip and has good style. Its good to see him doing well. My son is friends with him on Facebook and says that Justin seems like a good kid.

Good to see Landon doing well also. I remember watching him on little bikes and he was fast .

No problem. I knew you were just coming back and those finishes against that level of comp deserved some props. As far as staying Am goes you got to do what you got to do. You're young enough to hang out another year and gain some much needed confidence and support before the next level. No need to rush it if you don't have to. Doing that well when you were out most of the amateur season hurt was impressive. I'm sure if you can stay healthy you'll be killing it come ponca and lorettas next year.

hey bud, just gunna clear some things up, the show is staged. you read your script then act it out about 5 to 10 times till they get the (perfect) shot. and when i had all of those bikes it was cause i did well the year before and had help from honda... the show made me look bad, made my sister look like she got nothing an was a slave, not even close. like i said. the show is all for the rateings. the whole we go BIG thing was something they told my dad to say cause they thought all of the motocross people went BIG in this sport... we dont have cookouts or anything like that. it would be awesome to do that but we dont. we never have people ride at our track. it was just for a day thing cause the film crew wanted alot of people riding to show what we did. but it made us look like bad people wich we arent. trust me i wish i was spoiled. in the past 2 years ive only raced mini os ponca and lorettas. and only raced ponca because a family let me go with them. my parents didnt have the money to go to all the races. im pretty sure a spoiled kid gets to race all the nationals? am i correct? i didnt even have the money to get my motor done for ponca or LL. i was lucky enough to have a great friend who did my susspension free. i got 3 bikes this year cause we traded in my old suzukis... just trying to clear some stuff up with people. if u have any questions just PM me,

thanks

Justin is a humble kid..... His statement above is 100% true. The kid has a lot of heart and will get it done better next year with some more support.
