About Me
I'm a former pro rider living with the arthritis and aches and pains of far too many crashes in a short racing career. Now I'm a proud father of Elijah and another son on the way ready to be a great, supportive mini Dad.

Thanks Nick! It should be quite the event. Right now we are hovering around the number of 10 guys I know that are going to support the cause with blue gear, there should be a ton of spectators in the stands wearing blue, and I'll be down on the podium before opening ceremonies talking about the cause.

Trust me, course designer Jesse Olson knows what he is doing....I just don't think there's a very good way to land from 45 feet in the air at the rate of speed and trajectory that these guys are doing.
