New or different this year? I am going to try to ride more 
Seriously though. My riding has dropped off so much over the last three years it is not even funny. This year my goal is to ride more road, mtb, and BMX with a heavier focus on the latter. I also would like to get a 20" and start racing Inter. I left 20" as a 14X nearly 25 years ago and its time to get back.
Of course, my primary objective will be trying to teach my kids how to ride and have fun and I have to fit all this in with a new baby so we will see

My goal is to try and stay healthy so I can get some good racing in. I also am looking at getting back on a cruiser and making a run in the the 31-35 class. Of course Uncle Sam has a little different plan for me. As of now, it looks like I will miss the summer due to another deployment More to come on this later.
I can't wait for the weekend...see ya'll Friday night. I guess I'll have to help out in Staging instead of racing.

I love the holiday's, but am I glad they are over. I've missed out on all my bmx forum talk.
Sounds like we will finally be making an indoor race in Salt Lake this weekend!!!! YEAH!!! We had such a good time last year that we've been wanting to make it back. So as of right now, it sounds like the Overman's will be making the race and hoping to talk to some of our local riders into coming.
Have you had any pit bike races yet for the indoor season? Just need to know if we should throw the pit bikes in. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

For myself, I would like to see how far I can take myself. Which will include actually training (for the first time) and learning more about myself. Learning my strengths and weaknesses and using them and/or improving on them.
How 'bout goals everyone? What do you want to achieve this year?
Concerning the weekend; if you would like to have your main filmed, post on this thread on my forum (don't mean to hijack Gallo )
Request Your Main Here
I just want to know who would like to watch their main and/or has the ability to.
Well here is my request for the track this weekend; on the first straight, three rollers then the step-up into the sweeper/corner. Perhaps have to of the rollers next to the step up and the first one in the middle of the straight OR just have three consecutive rollers and then the step-up.
Also, if I may recommend, use a land-scaping rake to smooth out the transitions on the jumps/rollers before you pack the dirt in so that they do not get boxy; especially in the rythmn section. It only takes a few seconds for one person to do it on a transition. This will make for a nice smooth ride!
See you this weekend!

BMX Mom - that would be great! Please find me and introduce yourself!
Alex - that would rock if you did the pro section.
Travis - if Gallo does not shoot, I will be happy to. Right now I have two digital SLR's at my disposal and five lenses since I have a buddies camera bag. Trav - you wanna try your hand at some still photography too? I would be happy to loan you some equipment.

Travis, you can advertise your site ANYWHERE you want on my site. You do a top notch job and I'm just happy to follow in your webmaster footsteps
As far as pictures, I "should" be at the races on Saturday. (I have a funeral to attend, and I don't think I'll be in any shape to race on Friday) But, my digital doesn't do all that well at the indoor races, so Curtis' setup might be the best chance to get some great looking shots. Or even if Rob brings his, we should be able to get some good shots no matter what.

All I have to say is... What A WEEKEND! An excellent way to kick of the new year! Everyone seemed really happy and were enjoying being there. Let's keep this going through this year and beyond!
I would like to thank Ron Melton -btw, Happy B-Day- for letting us practice after the race all three days! You wouldn't believe what a difference 15-45 minutes after the race can make on not only myself but others too.
Another person I would like to point out is Alex Gren. After the race today (Sunday) she was out attempting the pro jump! Even with a few hard wrecks, she bounced back up and was at it again. She came close a few times, but she needed just a little more speed to carry her over. Can anyone say, "The next Arielle Martin?" Good job Alex, keep it up! Nice bike, btw. That gold is awesome!
You can't leave out the youngest kid to hit the pro jump, Bronson Butcher. During practice and intermission, he was out there skying it out! There was no way I would have even considered jumping that thing when I was his age. Way to go Bronson!
One last thing, when I first saw the track Friday, the first thing I noticed was the three rollers down the first straight. Being that was what I requested previously on this thread. Thanks Steve and Jason for putting that in. I thought it turned out really good! What did everyone else think of it? The rollers definatly made for some good racing! We'll have to see what I can come up with for next time... if that is okay of course
See everyone at the next one, two weeks from now!
[EDIT]
Oh yeah, thanks again Ron for letting us do that expert open! It was tons of fun!
And I would have to say the rythmn section was much smoother this time. The transitions were near perfect! Good job guys!
A big thanks goes out to Robby Patterson for filming the expert open!!!
