Flat tire :lol: so i have to get it fixed and give it another go. Hey you know what we should do, we should take a picture of all of us novice 28-35 year olds. I think a group pic would be awesome. :mrgreen:

I hope to join you guys out there sometime this weekend. I raced in this age group a couple years back but torched my knee pretty bad during a clinic. Seems like another great Novice group is forming which has got me excited about getting on my bike again.

Sure, I'm down. Good idea.

Steve, with Jeremy out you've got no excuses. You should start making room for that big first place trophy. Although one of the funnest things about this class is it's anyone's race. The last few mains have had everyone stacked up tight all the way to the finish with lots of passing. Sometimes I feel bad for some of the girls classes where it's the same three finishing in the same order every time.

Saturday I'm planning on the clinic, racing the open, and our class. So I might be pretty much worthless, but I try like my life depended on a top finish. It may sound cliché but my most satisfying races were the ones I felt I had done a personal best, not the ones where I brought home a plastic trophy. But my son Collin has been rubbing it in everytime he gets another trophy and I don't, so I'm hoping for a podium finish to remind him that Dad's quick too. :)

My money's on Steve, Jason S, and New guy (got the face in my head but not the name) as podium finishers.

It would be good to get to meet you. Hopefully you can make it.

Welcome, hope to see you out there this weekend. :mrgreen: But a warning, we are a bunch of crazies crashing all over the place. Nothing like a bunch of crazy guys on bikes that think they are still teenagers. :lol:

are you coming out this weekend? Even if you're not ready to race, you should come out to meet us, we're a bunch of friendly guys trying to stay alive around the track.

So true, I feel like I might have a chance to podium now that Jeremy has transfered. I'm with you, after the clinic I'll be too dead to race my cruiser AND 20, so I'll probably just race 20 this weekend.

I could see anyone of you hit the podium this weekend you are all really good racers, which has pushed me to step up my game. But no matter what, I would like to see anyone of you hit the podium, I love racing, and pushing hard, but i really like the good sportsmen ship we have in this sport.

I encourage all my fellow classmates to race the open Saturday. Sure we're going to get our butts handed to us. The race is free, and the best training for bmx racing is bmx racing with people that are faster. Perfect opportunity.

Well done Logan, I cant wait for the open to gate up with guys out of a normal race. It's gonna be fun. Just keep in mind that races are won on clinic days. Good luck fellas hope to see you all in the open class. :mrgreen:
