Back from Reno now and it was another rough weekend. With all the rain we haven’t been able to ride at all the last month so Fridays practice was spent trying to adjust to the bike again. Saturrday I took a digger first round in the last corner so started the day off with 8 points and the rest of it didn’t get much better. It always takes me a long time to fall asleep at home as well as races but for some reason Saturday night the last time I saw the clock was at 3:06. Woke up a few hours later, drank coffee for the first time and went through packs and packs of Powergels to keep me awake the rest of the day. Sundays racing went a bit better, won some motos but got 5 in the semi. Going down the second straight I was an nearly hitting Bubba the last half doing opposite lines and I was worried we were going to hit or land on each other but knew I wouldn’t be thrilled with myself afterwards if I backed out so kept going. He moved out and I landed on the side of the last double going into the turn, don’t know how I didn’t crash.
Denzel Stein turned A Pro this weekend and killed it, he’ll be AA soon. Liam Phillips also turned up and finished 3rd and 2nd. Danny C was looking good this weekend and won both days in AA. Over in Europe Strombergs won day 1 followed by Matisons and Sunday went to Prokop. Sebastian Kartfjord from Norway almost holeshotted the main the last day of racing which was good to see, check out the videos on www.bmx-videos.com.
Not much to update about, Liam’s at my house now and we leave to San Diego next week and will stay down there for a few weeks until Spain. Just going to be back training hard again. For any of you who want in on some elite training schedules you can check out a couple of the euro’s websites and they will fill you in on their daily schedules! Later - JB
