The worlds Race

In my age there was over 60 riders it was stacked ,we didnt see the track till tues morning for practise WOW what a start hill and first jump it was massive!!!
Tuesday and Wednesday practise sessions were hard as i just didnt like the hill and that big double so i wasnt going fast up to it.
My dad said i had to jump it i said get lost its 8 mtr wide it was huge!!
Thursday race day
In my motos i had the french Euro champ who won in Denmark the weekend before so i knew he would be fast but every race i beat him to the bottom of the hill but he jumped the double and i backed off so i got 2nds behind him so not too bad .
Quarter time my dad said just top 4 is all you need i got a good gate and got 3rd so thru to the semis .
Lane 7 for my semi this was going to be tough i had some fast riders in this ,i got a decent gate was in 3rd 4th at first turn but went too high and came out LAST on to the second straight second berm i got into 6th and hit the third straight full speed and pumped so fast got back to 4th then i went high in last turn and went back to 6th down the last straight i just hit the turbos and got 4th by a wheel at the line I WAS IN THE MAIN i couldnt believe it nor could my dad it was great!!!!
Final time i had gate 4 which was a good gate but i didnt get the snap and had a photo finish for 5th or 6th after what seemed like the longest 15 mins ever they said i got 6th just by an inch it was that close
W6 for me so i was still pleased out of over 6o riders i came 6th on a track i couldnt really go that fast down the first straight .
A few pics from the race and also me and( the wild man) Wyatt Hubbard from the USA who also came W6 in 10 boys

At the Cove race i met Kyle Stan a 9x rider from the USA he is super fast me and my dad watch him all the time on g0211.com.





THE WORLDS IN AUSTRALIA

We arrived a week early for this race as i needed to get used to my clips again after a days sleep we bumped into the Drysdales from Zimbabwe ,Luka 9 and jack 11 we went practising all day on thurs at a local track it was great loads of rythym on the last straight.
Then on the evening all went out for dinner .
Friday we all met up and went to another track all day and came back and went swimming in there pool abd jacuzzi!!!!
Saturday was the first race day at cross keys it wasnt a big race but there was about 15 riders in my age so not too bad .
I raced ok winning my motos except one where i came 2nd so not too bad the motos were a good race between me the Aus No1 Tyson Cobby on his home track and my new friend from New Zealand Mark Hartland Croft so it was good my dad said i had done enough and didnt want me to race the final just in case of accidents so i watched and Tyson won it from Mark and a lad from Chile in 3rd .
Sunday was another race at a track called the Cove i really like this track its fast and fun.
Again i won all my motos easily and the final was going to be between me and the argentina rider who later went on to win the W1 at the worlds (he also won in Canada 07).
Anyway we were told there was going to be a break in racing so we went to get something to eat a massive hot dog came back and i had missed my final lol!!!never mind i felt good and fast .

A few pics from the pre worlds races




Denmark Racing Day

The track wasnt that good it was really bumpy and there was aset of doubles on the first straight which you had to jump and i couldnt !!!
The motos went well i had a 3rd (slipped pedals over the horrible doubles) then a 2nd and then i won the third moto .
In my age there was about 55 of us so we had 6 man quarters with top four to the semi i holeshotted my quarter only to go over the bars and take a big fall on those double i couldnt jump AAARRRGH i was out i was gutted as i really wanted to make the main .
My dad said dont worry everyone falls off sometime at least he said i was fast enough which made me feel better .
A big well done to my friend Tino who finished 5th in the final which was good as he slipped his pedal coming out the gate and was last to the first turn Tino Popma E5 well done .
