Training at 6200 ft in Colorado at the training center here. Kind of a random decision but I wanted to mix things up a bit and do some real conditioning before I start into BMX training for next...

I think 3 must be my lucky number this year. Keeping the bronze alive. 3rd at Worlds in Aus, 3rd at the SX in Chula, and this weekend I took 3rd in the final and 3rd overall for the year at the SX...

TT are done, took a little swim in the mediterranean and now its internet sess time at Mcdonalds. Took 11th today, which i'm not super psyched on. Made some mistakes on the 2nd and last straights,...

Love South France. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, crepes, gelato, beach, would be perfect minus the old saggy ladies that roll topless on the beach. Got in yesterday in the AM, been...

October is my favorite month, hands down. The weather starts cooling off, leaves are changing (unless your in southern Cal where everything is already dead) and snow is coming! I absolutely CANNOT...

Not sure if i'm happy or sad that the world cup here is over, it was such a great event with a good show put on by the CV-OTC, the ABA, and a pretty stacked field of competitors. I was really...

There is this spot in Ocean Beach where we go to get these epic fish tacos, usually its a reward for some hard work, a lost bet to be paid, or for a special occasion. The tradition started back in...

Been a little off the back lately with updates, not a whole lot to report since South Africa, just working on rehab and healing the ole hand up. My body is feeling as strong and fit as ever and...

Broke my hand in the first five minutes of practice on Thursday, so my weekend was done quickly. We only had 17 girls on the start list and Sammy had a really bad crash in practice as well (spent...

We went on a little African safari today at a game reserve, it was only about a 45min drive from PMB and looked exactly like the model set for The Lion King. Right as...

In South Africa, just spent our first full day here. The trip out was a real burner 30.5 hours straight of sitting and traveling, the last 4 of which had me wondering why I wanted to come so bad....

Rolled in to Chula yesterday, this place has become my home away from home and while I hate leaving Mike the training is good for me here. The Boy has to go back to Tennessee for 4 months to do...

  Pretty crazy day today, the atmosphere at the Worlds is always unreal and Australia didn’t disappoint with the sell out crowd and ear damaging decibels. I started off the race in...

Great clinic this week at North SeaTac bmx. So far these all girls clinics have been a big success in my book, not calculated by total numbers or cash payout so much as the improvement in the...

Have a bit of a new look to the page thanks to the go211 art design team, its looking fresh.  My trip to Utah felt super short and I didnt get a chance to see half the people I wanted to,...

Finally landed a victory today, felt like a long uphill battle since the heel blow out and its nice to have the monkey off the back. It wasn't without some work though, Steph was strong down the...

Just finished off a nice practice session at Rad Canyon, its always a good feeling to come back to my roots where it all began for me. The first track I started racing on when I was five was...

Happy 4th of July! I always get a little bummed when I have to race on holidays, the 4th is one of my favorites. Roseville has been hot and dusty as predicted, I rolled in to practice yesterday at...

We are finally getting settled into our house, starting to feel quite homie here. There was some sort of ball up with the lending and title paperwork or such so it took 10 days of hotel hopping...

I bought a refrigerator today. A french door Maytag stainless steel beauty, you know your old when you get excited about buying a refrigerator. After the longest haul ever (2,465 miles in 4 days...

The house is almost packed up, i'm sittin on the couch with my feet propped up on boxes watching the Laker game and relaxing on my last Sunday here in Tennessee. While the greater part of me is...

As per the request of some in the area I will be holding a girls only clinic in Louisville May 29 5:30-8p, its the very last weekend I will be in the dirty south before we move to Washington so...

Not a fantastic day for team America, when all is said and done we brought what we brung but sometimes that just isn't enough. Fun as the track may be to ride, it resulted in a lot of casualties...

I feel kind of bad for the Copenhagen event staff; the track is sick, the venue beautiful, but both years we have been here the weather just refuses to cooporate. As I can remember last year there...

Despite the rain over the last few days they have done a good job keeping the track in shape and aside from gusty winds and a few sprinkles the weather held today. The track is one of the best...

Traveling is always such a blowout, the person that invents a drug to automatically re-set our biological clocks when traveling across time zones will be rich. Made it in to Copenhagen yesterday...

Great week going down in the books, we've been doing some experimental training to fast track my recovery and so far I feel its paying off. I'm pumped to head off to Copenhagen, there is nothing...

  The thing I like most about being at the Olympic Training center is the friends i've made across such a broad variety of sports. Before last year I never had any real interest in...

Slackin on the updates over here, but ive had a lot of questions from people on how my recovery has been going and when I will be racing so i'll do a quick synopsis. Two days after the docs...

Do you ever forget if you locked the car 5 steps after you walked away from it? Or cant remember if you turned your flat iron off as you drive to work? Locked the front door before you went to...

Home from the Sooner nationals and I still dont know what a Sooner is. The weekend was a blow out for me since it was the first time in two months that I have done full laps. My training break was...

Back on track and starting out the '09 season here in Guthrie, Ok. I always like this race because its a good excuse to come spend time with my pal Staci (who I dont get to see enough since she...

Just a few months after BMX made its Olympic debut, the Consumer Product Safety Commission passed new regulations requiring all manufacturers of children's toys to test every single paint fleck,...

After 11 months in Afghanistan my husband returned home from deployment on Wednesday. This year has been a challenge for both of us; not only were we apart for the first time in our marriage but I...

Sorry for the lack of updating, the last few months have been crazy for me and we have been working on sponsorship stuff for next year but I am excited to be re-signing with the world’s...

If there is a single rider I could choose to emmulate in my riding style its Mike Aitkin. My first memory of Mike is from a State Championship when I was just a kid, maybe 8 or 9, and he was...

Its good to be back on the ABA circuit again, still a bit of an adjustment for my riding style but fun to be around friends I havent hung out with in a long time. I rolled in on Friday to the the...

Slackin on the updates here.... but I thought I would give a shout out to Jill, Mikey and The Don for an impressive performance in Beijing. 3 months ago if you had asked me if I would be watching...

Its been nice being back here in Utah with friends and family, but super busy ever since I rolled in from Cali Wed night. Starting with my girls Staci and Christina flying in Thursday and X96...

Welcome to July. It’s been nice an toasty down here in San Diego. Lucky for us we are close enough to the water that it cools us down a bit and we don’t fry quite like the folks...

Sorry for the lack of updates, ive been slackin! This week I decided it was time for a change, so I went into Salon 56 down in SD and handed my hair over them for a complete re-vamping....

After one of the hottest days out at Chula Vista, Mike Day wins the first every BMX Olympic trials! It was such a crazy race and I am absolutely exhausted from screaming and jumping up and down....

Back in Chula after a week at home in Utah revamping from the China trip. It felt soo good to spend a few days home doing whatever the heck I wanted. I slept all day, went shopping, caught up...

So this weekend was pretty rough for me.   I came into this race with a 13 point lead and the confidence that I was going to Beijing. I felt awesome on the track and killed it in my...

I’ve been holed up in the hotel all day, eating my own cooked American pasta and chicken out of my hot pot watching the race from the comfort of my rock hard bed. BMX made primetime TV...

I woke up to the sun this morning and was stoked. The smog had cleared considerably and revealed new landscape I had no idea existed yesterday. We had our first practice on the track,...

Homeostasis: the property to regulate the internal environment of the body so as to maintain a stable, constant condition. In essence, the human body loves routine. Whether it’s...

What a day in the books! I must say I am SOOO glad its over. 5th place overall finish, of course nobody WANTS to go into a race to finish 5th and I made some mistakes in the main but all things...

So unfortunately the track was built on a lake bed. And then there was a monsoon a week or so ago hence the reason the track refuses to harden up. The girls did the first practice and then the...

So far not a lot to report about Copenhagen other than practice was cancelled today. The dirt on the track wasn’t packing and that makes it hard to shred a sx course. The layout looks pretty...

Woke up this morning and shredded Aigle one last time before driving back to Germany. The youth hostel was happenin last night with all the BMXers in town; aside from the Aussies, Shanaze was...

I have seen some beautiful places in the world, but nothing quite so beautiful as Switzerland. The 5hr drive down here yesterday was quite possible the most enjoyable 5 hr drive I have had. Going...

Raced a Euro round yesterday for the fun of it. We (Amanda, Cesar, Sutty) rolled in to Franfkurt Friday night, woke up Saturday got 4 practice laps and it was time to shred. The track was typical...

The Today show was quite the production. I couldn’t believe how much preparation and work goes into putting on a TV show, and they do it every day! The Today show is a live production, so...

It’s my very first time experiencing New York City outside of a car or JFK airport. I was one of the lucky chosen to come here for the BMX segment of the Today show. I took a night flight...

My first memory of the Bullock family comes from at least 6 years ago when they rolled up to Tooele's Deseret Peak BMX so enthusiastic about riding BMX in the 30mph crosswind. Their son Thomas is a...

Finished second today overall. Definitely shouldn't be bummed about that except the part where I was winning until the last straight. I struggled all weekend with one particular section of the...

Took a second overall in the time trial yesterday. I was pretty happy with the result, I won the first round trials and improved my time in the second round with a few mistakes but Jana Horakova...

Alright so here is the lowdown on practice... They built the entire course in 48hrs, so pretty much it was soft yet rough and needs a bit more dialing in. In the mens practice dR, Mikey, and the...

Team USA is sharing internet access here at the Hilton. We went ahead and bought internet for the week for just one room and are sharing time on it so that we can keep in touch with our internet...

It took a little over 30hrs of traveling to make it here to Adelaide. Trip started off on the wrong foot in SD when we tried to check in as a group of 10 with 33 bags and paper tickets. 2 people...

BMX made National Public Radio today. Mike from NPR hooked me up with a link to listen to the story since we missed it live. Although the segments they chose to air are a bit comical both with...

Finished up the USAC Nat Championships today in DeSoto, Tx. Those of us that have been training at the OTC had a difficult time adjusting back to the flat hill, small jumps, and ABA cadence during...

Day two finally over, its 12:40am and I am still trying to get back to all my messages--no sign of sleep anytime soon. I have to say today went significantly better than yesterday. I was lucky...

Day one is in the bag and im hangin out at the hotel hiding from the sun waiting for the ams to finish their day of racing before we head back out to start off day two. I felt pretty good on...

I uploaded some pics tonight of my two whips... I call them #1 and #2 . I am pretty fortunate that I have sponsors who will kick down for me to have two identical bikes, it makes my training a lot...

Back in Chula, back to no-sun SoCal rain. Pretty lame this el nino stuff. Hopefully the weather clears up soon so we  can get back on the track. It is nice to be back in the states and back...

Today is my last day in France and I can’t believe it has gone by so fast. The training has been intense, but fun. I have never felt so good on my bike and enjoyed challenging myself so...

Thats the phrase of the week for me. Whenever someone tries to speak to me in French, or I am getting in trouble with PH, I yell as boldley as I can "Je Suis AMERICAN!" and usually...

Congrats to Cisar, Brown, dR, and Bennett for representing well in the main at Madrid today. 3-6th respectively. You know the US is dominant when 4 of the 8 guys in the main are Americans. There...

There is a lot to write about tonight but I am spent so i'll have to summarize. So far we have ridden 4 tracks in 4 days. Thats one of the hings I love about France. There are SOO many different...

Today will go down in my books as one of my worst performances ever on a bike. Granted I have an excuse with the 9hr jet lag, but I must say I was "pro novice" out on the track today....

Back in France today to do a little training one-on-one with the coach. I am excited to be here because last time I came I felt my skills on the track improving overnight. South France has some of...

Just rolled in from my sweet 12 1/2 hr drive from Salt Lake. It took me 2+ hrs longer than it should have thanks to a semi roll in Vegas and a 16 car crunch outside Lucerne Valley. Apparently...

We've been riding a lot here this last week. The trails are dialed and we've been riding the first half of the track. Ritz is touching up the last half today for the big ribbon cutting ceremony...

It looks like I am finally settled into my new home. The Olympic training center here in Chula Vista is pretty cool. It is 15 or so miles South of San Diego and about 8 miles north of the Mexican...

There have been lots of changes for me in the last week. First off, I am no longer considered a Tennessee resident. Mike deployed to Afghanistan on the 2nd and I didnt see any reason to stick...

Frustrated at the moment.....  I felt really great today, better than yesterday and won my first two motos putting down the fastest lap times in Elite women. Third moto I had the lead but...

Racing is finally finished for the night. I'm not super stoked about my finish. I felt pretty good all day, I didnt exert myself too hard in motos and pulled out an easy 2,2,2 to save everything...

I'm gettin ready to call it a night. Today was a fun-filled day of sitting, mixed with about an hour total of practice time. I always dislike the format of this race e.g. I have to fly out on or...

Merry Christmas everyone! Christmas is for sure my favorite holiday. Its a bummer I cant spend it at home in Utah with my family, but Mike is deploying Jan 1 and with the deployment date so close...

Not a whole lot to report this week except that I am over Tennessee weather and ready to deport myself back to the West. It rained nonstop here from Thursday until this morning...

So I had Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving for what I have counted to be only the second time in the last 11 years. Crazy! It was honestly a little hard for me to be away from Tulsa and all of...

Just got back from the Olympic Ambassador program in LA, and I have to say I felt so honored to have been chosen to go. I was a little intimidated at first to walk into the room with former...

Got some new wheels to roll around town on and I am pretty excited about it. Mike and I traded the Lancer in last night for a 2008 Scion xB--Black sand pearl. He deploys to Afghanistan in January...

Got the new 2008 Formula Nucleus frame built up yesterday. I'm pretty stoked on it, I took it out to the track last night and it was FAST. Its .25" shorter than my other frame, which I...

Another race in the books, and honestly I am just glad the weekend is over and I can finally be home for longer than three days to focus on my training and sleeping. I pulled a 4th and a 2nd...

I am finally home and so glad to be here. I just wanted to post really quick that I have uploaded a bunch more pics to the france album and another video from practice at St Maxime. I have a few...

Race is over and so is my trip. I fly home in the morning and I am pretty excited to see my husband and sleep in my own bed for three whole days before heading off to Boulder City. The race...

 Video is uploaded...at least 98% of it. My 30min time card ran out at 98% so whatcha see is whatcha get Time trials are over and we are done for the day.   We woke up this...

Practice is done for the day. We ran the same format for practice as we did in China (two practice groups of men then the women 1hr20min total each group starting at the bottom of the ramp, then...

Ok so internet   is pretty steep, slow and it doesn’t work most of the time so I’m not sure I will be able to get more video footage up until I am in a place with better intenet...

Chilled most of the day today, went for a road ride this afternoon and saw some beautiful villas. I really could live here I decided. I guess Bruce Willis has a place close by, if its nice enough...

Not quite as much to report today. All of us were pretty blown out and tired from going out last night so the morning was pretty much gone by the time we got moving. Danny C decided to race the...

late update... We rode all day at Perne, its a track that PH designed and started himself. Here in France they call them "clubs" and riders in the "club" all practice together....

We had the morning off which was really nice. I stayed up late talking to Mike on the videocam so I think I slept until almost ten which probably hasn't happened to me since I got...

 Video uploaded...  I am so so so tired today. I think the last time I rode so many hours on my BMX bike so many days straight was Woodward West with Alice Jung in 2005... Did some...

 Video now uploaded...   Long day today so I am going to attempt to keep the blog short. We woke up this morning and did a good two hour Gym session. Micael Cisar and Xavier Aumaitre...

 Avignon video now uploaded... Aside from the jet-lag, today was a good day. We woke up this morning and rented the road bikes to go on a recovery ride down into Cavaillon so Danny C could...

Before I start todays update I need to thank two important people for helping me come back strong this year from surgery and supporting my Olympic ambitions. First is Bruce Mayer at Action...

Headed out to france in the morning. I am going out a week early for the Frejus Supercross race to stay with my coach PH and get a little European training in. I am pretty excited for this...

I got some race action from Ridge Meadows posted now. My camera man somehow did NOT record my main so he is in trouble. Instead you can see my first and second motos. Isnt that exciting? I do...

Took a third today. Not too bad, I will take the points. Sammy took the win Amanda and I had a line call for the 2nd but she got it. Overall its been a fun trip. Ive been stayin at the Nyhaugs...

Im headed back to Canada today for the UCI continental race #3 in Vancouver. I have been to Canada maybe three times in my life before this year, but this race marks the third time in two...

SO I had to order in a new powercord for my laptop because I lost my original one somewhere between China and Kingston. Now I am now able to upload video footage again. Sorry for the loong...

Well i'm back from the race and I have to say its really nice to finally be home and not re-packing my clothes to leave again. Before I start the race report I want to send out my best...

Sorry for the lack of update. Somewhere between Beijing, Canada, and my home here in Clarksville I lost the powercord to my laptop. No power and a dead battery makes it hard to update....

In New York City right now...I got in from my 13 hour miserable flight around 3pm. I managed to get the one seat on the plane surrounded by screaming, kicking, hair pulling Chinese children. I...

We decided to spend our last full day in Beijing at Silk Alley, the one and only 7-story shopping center full of knock offs. It was about an hour taxi ride and we were told by the "People in...

 Videos uploaded. I had to break the men and women up but you can see all three semis (both heats) and both mains. Remember its not traditional semi format. The top 16 were split into two...

Time trials today are finally over and it feels good to have them out of the way. For me its always a relief to get the preliminary qualifying done. This morning started out with some...

I have to say today was probably one of the funnest times I have ever had on my bike. The supercross track was so fun!   Morning started out with a bunch of sitting around. The...

Today is Saturday. I didn’t figure that out until the day was half over. I could have sworn it was Friday…time change does things to you I guess. We woke up this morning with the...

Today was a pretty fun day. We got an invite last night from Afro Bob to go see the Great Wall with the Dutch team. I figured it would be fun to hang out with some people other than Americans so...

Ok so day two is almost over and I was ready for bed three hours ago but thanks to my laptop deleting the video I had all edited I haven’t had the luxury yet.   I started the...

My day started a little wierd at the Nashville airport when an elderly (maybe 70 years old) lady was blasting R&B music out of a cd player. While she had headphones on I could still hear...

I am headed off to the airport here in a few minutes. I posted my first video of the tour--yesterday's preparation. I will be posting video and blogs when I can throughout the tour so come...

As an athlete, there is no event, no race as comparable to the Olympics than the World Championships. National titles, individual wins, and country popularity is all...
