Kampen TC round Holland 27th Sept 09
The final round of the TCs in holland this should be a good race.
My friends Cam and Owen Poulter are coming with us for this one also coach Smith is racing.
We set off at 0300 on sat as Lauren wants to get there for elite time trial.
On the ferry i start to feel bad and am not looking forward to this weekend but its great my mates have come with us.
By the time we get to the track Lauren has missed her time trial so we could of have had a few more hours in bed .
Again the tracks in holland are really good and this one looks good also.
We set the tents up track side and just have fun practicing and playing.
Sunday race day i wake up and feel really bad with headache and coughing i tell my dad i dont want to race he says ok and takes me for a shower to try and make me feel better.
While i have a shower and have some cereal and my morning cup of tea i should be practicing but i just sit and watch.
After a bit i start to feel a bit better and tell my my dad i want to try and race,so my dad rushes and gets me changed and puts me just in time in the pens .
Any way im on it and win all my motos and my semi.
Sadly my mates the poulters didnt make the semis but it was their first time in holland im sure they will make it next time.
The final i have first pick and choose gate 2 i didnt really get the gate as i havnt done much gate work and i was full of calpol .
I power back and get the holeshot and hit the first turn and hit the turbos and im out of there and take the win in good style .
I was really pleased as i felt terrible and couldnt really breath .
Lauren raced well up in elite women and was unlucky not to make the main well done coach smith!!!!
Traffic traffic as we set off late from the track we didnt get home till 5am monday morning just in time for him to go work.
(thanks mark for driving and my dad for paying)
I have got some time off school now as the doctor has give me some medicin to make me better.
Ill post some pics as soon as my dad finds some .

In the meantime check out the vids on schijf bmx .


Schijndel TC round in Holland 6th Sept 09

After a month off with no training at all just messing about playing (thanks dad)
This was my first race back we set off sat morning early and got to the track just after lunch it didnt seem that far this time.
Practice is on sat nights over there and the track was really long but with lots of jumps that little kids can jump so i really had fun practising.
After practise we went for a pizza with my dads friend Rene and his two daughters.
Sunday race day and there was nearly 40 riders entered in my class i started off a bit shaky with a 2nd in my first moto to their new dutch champ who was pretty fast.
I won the other two motos and beat him again to win my semi.
Final time i lead all the way till the last but one turn and came unclipped as i was getting tired and hit a jump wrong and couldnt pedal at all till i got my foot back in .
AAAARRGGH he passed me up to the last turn and took the win i was gutted having lead all the way but i was happy as i hadnt even trained and it was supposed to be a fun race.
