Bruised up his shoulder but no break's I tol him he wasn't allowed to race the last two races even after he decided to finish the moto he wrecked in. We went to 421 on Sunday but it was to wet to send the boys out in so we just came home. First big races in Ohio are April 7-8 so he is taking it easy, but I have caught him on the pogo stick and bicycles a few times. I let him ride the pitter in the yard for a few also, but took him back off after 5 mins. ***Edit for some pictures since it is the start of a new page. Just happy to ride his dirt bikes. 29365523_10156166226545987_5231840624084254720_o by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr 40_1 by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr 41 by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr |

Boy had his qualifier at East Fork Mx. He went 1-1 in the 50 jr class. Pulled 3 hole shots (they had to do a restart on the first race) The ruts where monsters, but the boy loved it.
The next day we hit one of the big local races up at Briarcliff. He went 2-2 in the 50 jr. and i htink 13th overall in the 50 open against the big bikes. He pulled both hole shots in the 50 jr class. That Risk racing starting gate that papaw got him for Christmas is helping a lot. One of his local sponsors, Simple Beginnings Photography, also did a photo session with him that turned out great. He got to meet Seth Hammaker, whom parked across the street from us at the qualifier, he is his biggest fan now. Seth is a super nice kid that is fast on a dirt bike. Seth traded him his Monster Energy Kawi hat for one of my boys cartoon stickers I had made up for him. 30814077_1483817121747845_4396853706531157759_o by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr 30425328_1479254888870735_4368207335986010747_o by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr IMG_20180421_162759 by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr IMG_20180421_151938 by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr IMG_20180422_092452 by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr |

I had to open up the top of the front brake res to allow me to spread the calipers to fit the new rotor (it's stock size, but a tad thicker because it's brand new). Both the front and back brakes feel sort of meh. Like they did when I first got the bike brand new. After time, they seemed to settle in and were biting good on the stock wheels. I assume the same will happen with the new rotors? Maube I should have just thrown new pads in since I was already in there. New rotors, new pads, makes sense. But the pads have less than 3K miles on them, so I didn't bother. |

They will break in fairly quickly. If you find the front doesn't meet your expectations for bite and feel pick up some HH compound pads. They will bite quite a bit better ( they will wear the rotor quicker though, always a trade off ).

I just have zipties on them now so they don't rub the wheel. Edit: Oh, and to install the SpeedoDRD. Should be here in a few days. |

Boy had the first of 3 races for the AMA number 1 plate for Ohio. Battle for Ohio at Malvern MX.
He finished 1 in the 50jr and 10th in the 50 open. He rode fantastic and we had a blast of a weekend.

We gathered the kids up, ended up with about 20 of them, plus us 8 or so adults and went down the starting line to play some mud football. picture was about 15 mins into it. We had a crowd of about 75 people after the rain stopped lol. Thankfully the rain started up again as we had to stand under the camper awnings in our underwear to shower off lol. IMG955102 by 4DAIVIPAI2K5, on Flickr We leave today for the biggest race of his life so far. The Mid East regional for Loretta's. He has the speed, as long as he doesn't let it get to his head. I've got the little swimming pool, bicycles, xbox and footballs loaded up to take the pressure off and try to remind him motocross is supposed to be fun. He was flying yesterday with his trainer for the 2 hrs they were together. Wish the little guy some luck! |
