I know its all little late, but I hope everyone had a Happy New Year and that all of your New Year's resolutions are coming true! haha Well there have been a lot of changes in my life since the New Year.
First of all, I started my very first semester of college. I am a full time student at BCC (Brevard Community College). I definately am going to have my hands full this year! Also, for those of you who don't know, KTM will be my bike of choice for the 2008 season. Kirt Lynch with Atlantic Moto Sports has been helping me out a ton! Big props to Kirt for the support!!
Things are a bit hectic over my way balancing moto, school, training, and work; But, I wouldn't have it any other way. Like my buddy Todd at Fox says, ''Better to be busy, than bored.'' Amen to that!
I'd like to give a shout to all my people that are helping me out: God, my Dad and Mother and the rest of the kin haha, Todd @ Fox, Kirt @ Atlantic Moto Sports, Doug Harvey Racing Suspension, Dunlop, Renthal, Twin Air, Synergy Seals, Rekluse, The Spring Maker, SFB Racing, Factory Backing, Steve @ CS-Advertising, my bestfriend Miranda, my homie Jenn check her site www.no1jenn.com, The Alvarez family- I am going to miss you guys :[ , and The Gault family.
Whats up guys and girls!? Last Friday, November 2, I celebrated my 20th Birthday!! Gosh I am getting old haha! Me and a few of my close friends went to The Cheese Cake Factory for dinner then it was off to Halloween Horror Nights! We were in for a real treat!! The Cheese Cake Factory was killer like always. As far as Halloween Horror Nights...I'm not sure if I ever want to go back to that place again!! I've never been so scared in my entire life! From the scary people walking around out on the streets to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre people chasing you around the park with chainsaws, its just one thing after another!! Oh and the haunted houses, thats another story! After we came out of the Freddy Krugar house some of my friends were sweating and I just got my voice back a few days ago! I had no idea I was such a chicken! So now I am sleeping with one eye open, just to make sure nothing pops out of my closet or comes in my window! haha All in all my birthday was awesome!! Thanks to all my friends that were able to make it and the ones who weren't just make sure you come next year...21 baby! haha. Check out the photo section for more pics!
As far as moto goes, I've just been practicing and doing a few races here and there trying to get ready for Mini-O's. Besides Mammoth, Mini-O's is most definately one of the best races of the year! Gaotrback is such a kewl track, the weather is usually pretty nice, and Thanksgiving is on the Thursday of that week! I can't wait!
Last week I attended a benefit dinner for a fellow racer, Dave Robertson.
I met Dave a few years ago while we were practicing at a local track.
He and his wife are super nice people and this dinner was definately a success!
Unfortunately, Dave was injured pretty bad months ago.
Through the tough times and the struggle, Dave has kept his head up.
He can walk quite a bit now and continues
to make phenominal progress each and everyday.
Keep on keepin' on Dave!!
We all are here for your support!!
Well its been almost 6 months since I broke my leg, but I'm super stoked to FINALLY be back on my red rocketships! What a long 6 months its been. For those of you who don't know, I broke my Tibia and Fibula April 27 at a Southeast Area qualifier for Loretta Lynns. Breaking my leg gave me a huge reality check. Not just on the moto side of things, but also on life. I never thought I took walking for granted until I had to use those crutches for 3 months! Anyways I'm back now! Naturally, when I start riding again we've been getting monsoons down here in south Florida! So much rain that sand tracks are flooded! Despite all the rain, I have been getting some good ride time in. I was up in Tally, where I stayed with a good friend of mine JP$. I had a blast up there. I've never rode up there before, the dirt is killer and so are the tracks!! We rode at some really kewl tracks...Action Mx, Southern Mx, and Fast Track. Fast Track is owned by The Barrett's and they take really good care of the facility and the track is fun! Other than motoin we just chilled, went to the gym, had some fun on my Indo Board, and Jess' mom took her and I to the nail salon and we all got pedicures! See just because we race motocross, doesn't mean we don't do the girly stuff! Oh and I almost forgot! Never let Jess and Edwin talk you into going to play poker at JCKC if you have no clue what you are doing! You will most likely end up like me, spending your dough and walking out with a big ol' handful of NADA!!
The Gold Cup series has been going on and I have taken up flagging as my new career! Hah I flagged at Gatorback and Waldo. Let me say I have a new found respect for the flaggers that sit out there from 8am to 5pm and keep us safe out there while we race! Well last week I threw in the yellow flag and put on my FOX boots and got behind the gate! I sure have missed that feeling when the 2 minute card goes up! What a fun race! I won and my friend, Lydia Greiner [The tru G], got second! This Friday were off to stay at my friend C-Murder's [Cody Smith] crib, hit up the skatepark and find a new tree to jump out of onto his trampoline! Then Saturday morning leave for Reddick to moto it up for the 5th round of the Gold Cup series.
Alright I'm finished writing my novel, so i'll leave you with this... Big shouts to God, my mom and dad, The Patterson familia, and all of my sponsors that stayed with me through these last 2 years when it seemed like there was no light at the end of the tunnel with all the injuries that I had. Make sure you check back often for updates!! Oh and check out the photo section!!
P.S.
Just remember that Aces can never have the same suit and never fold up trip aces! =P
Be thankful, take care, and ride red!

Another P.S. P.S.

We would have typed up the article for all of you to read, however we have not quite mastered the Japanese language. It does have a great podium photo and if you can read Japanese take a look.

Ever since Mike Brown upped sticks and headed home from Europe after the first Motocross Grand Prix of the year, there hadn't been an American presence at any of the World Championship rounds. But Japan was different ... well, kind of. No, there wasn't an American entry in either of the GP classes, but two names could be found on the list for the FIM Women's World Cup race, which ran at Sugo on the same weekend. Representing the U.S. were Jacqueline Ross and Ashley Fiolek, the same two riders who took on Sugo in 2004. After last year's mud-fest, the 2005 race was altogether more productive for the Honda duo, with Fiolek finishing fourth and Ross climbing onto the podium in second after the 85cc race. She finished just a few yards behind Japanese winner Sachiko Oki, riding an Austrian KTM, of all bikes! We caught up with a delighted Jacqueline after the race.
She's Got Game
