Max and Kale both did well.
Friday pre race
Max 2nd in class
Kale 4 in class without even seeing the track and racing in pajamas.

Saturday national 1
Max 4 in open 4 in class
Kale 5 in open made it to semis

Sunday
max 4 in open 3 in class
kale 6 in open semis in class

fun time but a little cold jack max and kale decided to go to the beach and get some funny looks running aRound in the waves. had a great time hanging withjeremy and mark and the boys.
it was a really nice facility and the people running it were all really nice. didn't get to many good reviews on their hill and turns but the track was technical and glass smooth. Hung out with the Whites on extreme team they are great people. Mark even won the 50/50 on Saturday. so pretty good trip.

Gator was fun EVERYONE did well Max kicked butt it was good to see him in there ripping it up these last two National trips paid off for him. Kale did good as well rode hard and should have been in the main !!! He is looking VERY fast ! He and Danny on Class just got the short end of the stick !!! Hunter did good as well just aging up the day before the race was iffy !!! But it was cool to see Max and Hunter in the main on Saturday. Hunter also made it in on cruiser both days. This trip really paid off for Hayden he comes home with 3 firsts and one second. We figured he only lost one lap of 10 all weekend long. That was just the main on class Saturday he got cut off on the first straight by Dougie Butcher ( nag 4 ) and could not fully recover got 2nd behind his nag 8 (Myles Wamsley). Danny killed Cruiser on Hayden's bike VERY NICE ride!!! Christopher White rode hard had some really nice finishes Jack killed it 3 wins and one 2nd same as Hayden only lost one lap all weekend !Brenlee won both days ! Nice weekend !The Whites set us up a nice Extreme Team pit that we all were able to hang out at VERY NICE OF THEM TO TAKE CARE OF ALL OF US UTAHNS !! Good job EVERYONE !!!

Nice work Wayne.
Hey, Iv'e got a question, maybe this is pointed at Dan but I've noticed that Robbie & Danny are always on the infield at all the nationals I watch. The ABA is very strict on not being in the infield but they are always there. Are they volunteers/officials/helper units? Trading off work for entry fees or something?
None the less, it's great advertising for the team. I even see Dan every now & then sweeping the gate or working a corner.

THANKS ! Yes they are working and they are officials. Mike Kelley also works the Nationals sometimes. I should be on that program

Has anybody heard about Ariele Martin? she went down hard and had a nasty looking wrist.

Has anybody heard about Ariele Martin? she went down hard and had a nasty looking wrist.

I read on the interwebz that she has a "boxer's fracture"... out 4-6 weeks.

[onephastkiss]

i have had that "boxer's fracture" injury through my years of "impromptu- match's" and it is when you compress your 5th meta-carpal (pinky bone in your hand)(correct me if i'm wrong doc alv) and it push's out and breaks. she probably hit the ground while still holding the bars. needless to say you must maintain correct form when punching.

[JAlvey]

metatarsal=foot, metacarpal = hand. She will probably be back on the bike in 4 weeks, and racing in 6

as i was typing it i knew i was gonna get it wrong t for toe. shame on me and i got an a in anatomy.

[crash]

Thats good she is riding well and is the most technical rider out of all the women.
Another fun thing to watch was Wayne packing a bike into the golf bag, talk about a science. I am not sure but i think he got enough parts for 2 20" bikes in a bag big enough for 1. Plus helmets, clothes a sleeping bag and god knows what else. Pretty entertaining between motos.
Next time you get Wayne and Robby together for a 1/2 a second get them to tell you about New York and Central Park. LMAO.
