Erin: "RV's fitness was in question but he has made vast imporovements in the last 2 weeks". If anyone thinks that you can make "vast" improvements in 2 weeks I have some land in Florida for sale, but it may be a little damp.

When everybody thought Dean faded last week but it was pretty evident that he just tightened up while being out front. He came from behind and caught Bagget for his first podium with a third at this tough track. Not sure if everyone knows but Dean had a bad shoulder injury prior to this season. He is a tough kid...

Props to Weston Peick and Travis Baker for raising the American flag for us and others. They were the two top Americans in qualifying. Thank you.

I thought I would copy/paste this from the Willy Musgrave post. Maybe it will help a little from a factual race view. I have not read the article by Willy but here are a few facts of interest: I work with 2 stroke rider (he has been fighting the 4 stroke change) who has been working towards his AMA National...

There were a few pros at the sx track today. Joe Olehof built the track which was technical but had a good flow if you made the sections correctly. Ryan Sipes looked smooth (as he usually does). Daniel Hendrix was charging and looked good. Travis Baker (new pro) is learning the ropes for SX and is coming along fine. Chris...

Everyone has there opinions they are just like ? Josh was at Milestone today and he was looking trim and focused. Riding a stock bike, he was putting some good laps and pushing hard. Josh has lost weight but has not lost his ability to be humble. I wish Josh well and hope he can move his career to where...

Milestone has a new SX track, I believe that Cameron Rodriguez built the track. If so, he did a good job with what he had to work with. The track has a good flow and is not as technical as the track at comp edge (not a good or bad thing) just different. The issue with building a track with...

[b]Hopefully this will help the riders and their parent/parents work together with less emotion and allow the rider constructive information during a race. Every racer has good and not so good races. When the athlete comes in from a race and it did not go well, he is dissapointed and upset for whatever reasons did not allow him to do...

It was good to see Travis Baker make the main and ended up a solid 11th in the main, hard working kid just up from the amateur ranks. Jake Canada, with 17 days of SX riding came from around 10th to 7th in his heat and made the first SX main of his career. Both of these kids have stepped...

Weston Peick came back to pick up 9th overall at Texas after having mechanicals at Hangtown. Not bad for a rookie. Alan Gerkey

Thank you sis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4As7JSDk8c Alan Gerkey

Just wanted to give props to this Yamaha rider Weston Peick. He was the most consistent intermediate racer at Mammoth with a 1-3-2 for the three days of racing and surprised a few people with his charge from 15th to 3rd in the highly competitive 250f class. He is the Mammoth 450 intermediate Champion. His family is giving everything they...

Let me preface this post by saying: 1. It is close to the end of the season where many of the regulars are riding with injuries, burn out and self preservation. 2. Many of the riders just coming into the Nationals have nothing to lose and everything to gain by charging. If any of the regulars are riding with injuries...

Bobby, I know how hard this is on you. You have backed Mike through his career and have never let up. Emotions come in first during this time and its hard not to let them get the best of you but Mike has worked hard all of his life and was ready for a title this year. Sometimes things just...

Just returned from Mammoth where not only the racing, weather and atmosphere was great but meeting up with people you haven't seen for a while. One of those people who is always there but just under the spotlight is Larry Naston. I had the pleasure of meeting Larry back in early 2001 but due to busy schedules our paths have...

mxtrainer1@hotmail.com thanks, Alan

I have read most of the information and opinions about Jason. There are others involved in Jason's career who should be taking part of the blame for his off and on track performances. Jason has been the same since his amateur days, at least in attitude. Along with his talents on a bike, his attitude and lack of respect is...

Bobby, I have been looking for the 1987 Daytona SX (250) where Hannah leads it (#25) then Omara leads and RJ gets him at the finish. I am fairly sure this is the year, if so, do you know where I can purchase a copy. Had one years ago but let someone take it to watch and never saw it...
