Bad Week in Texas!

Just got home from the first big race of the year in Texas.  The week started off well and went bad in a hurry. When we got there I looked at the track and was loving it. Went out in my first out of three practices and checked out the track, jumped most of the jumps and started finding my groove. In second practice  I went out second lap and hit the big 130 foot downhill triple which was the only thing I was not hitting. When I hit it I felt comfortable on it and hit it for the rest of the practice. I put down some fast laps in that practice but on the last lap I dabbed my foot in a turn, twisted my leg, and tore my hip flexor. It hurt so bad. But I went out and rode my third practice felt alright but some of the things like whipping and scrubbing and putting my foot out in the turn hurt really bad! We iced it and put heat on it and I still went out for my first moto. I got a decent start but got pushed off the track on the first lap and ended up coming around in like 20th the first lap. I was charging hard and then I had a really wierd fast and awkward crash. It knocked the wind out of me and hurt my hip even worse. I got up kept riding but my dad pulled me off and told me to go back to the truck that I wasn’t going to be able to pass enough people. We put ice, heat, some weird cream, everything we could to make it better but the next morning we had to decide to pull the plug! It was so disappointing for me. I was mad, sad, and disappointed! I had worked so hard over the winter and it was all down the drain. So we headed home. Now we are going to go to the doctors and hopefully get this fixed with a possibility of surgery! I will keep you guys updated on my progress. Thanks for all your help and support.

BTW here are some pictures of my bike with the new graphics. Notice that Odessa got the whole front fender.

Texas, B-Ward, Lilly Pad

I have 8 days till I leave for the first big amateur national of the year in Texas. I'm riding super hard and riding alot. No time to take a break. I kind of messed up my hips and my shoulder but I will have time to heal after Texas.
I've been riding alot of sand because the track that this national is held at is pretty sandy. Rode at a private sand track today with my friend Brandon Ward( Multi Time national chap Jeff Ward's son) along with another fast kid named Blake Lilly. Had tons off fun and rode really good. Texas is looking good for me. I hope I get my new shoes before I leave.

Thats it for now.
