RMEC rnd 1 race report

Showed up down their in wickenburg AZ. with a brand new bike and hunger for the high speed desert. shredded hard saterday. the course was a delicious mix of high speed single track and sand whoops. The new red headed steed was a delight to ride, especially at speed. (5th gear has to be somewhere around mach 10)  The high priest of gnar shredding Destry Abbot took the win, second went to my worthy adversary Tyler Gundarman, 3rd Cody Schafer with his isde trophy team gold, 4th the much respected Bernie Frederick and 5th place Jim Koch beat me by 7 seconds......7 seconds after 60 miles. This is the guy that finished the overall last year .6 points behind me but then was rewarded "workerpoints" and got the well deserved AA overall ..AND sportsman of the year trophy, The guy is good..... but i wanted to beat him bad! so sunday morning brought day two and I woke from my ninja dream in the back of my van cuddling a gear bag and spooning my dog Baja ready to do business. KILL EVERYONE! My sidekick Lord Mick gave me his new present from Santa,  go pro helmet cam and sent me out with; lights, camera, action. All was going well and then  about 6 miles into the second loop I encounter one of the few sections capable of holding my bike in 5th gear, I was like a collie with my head out the window grinning a big tongue hangin out snarl smile. High speed thrill section coming to an end, I hit the binders as hard and late as i could ready to dart back off into the cactus infested singletrack.  With forks compressed hard a "no-see-em" rock sent my front end right out from under me and I took a very violent soil sample to the high side. the soil sampled was very hard, rocky, and un friendly.  FUCK!  ... the bike is still running. shake it off! find the bike. grab the clutch. drop a few gears. Just like Willie Nelson im on the road again... wait.... shit hurts, shit hurts bad.... Im trail riding back to the van. FUCK! Worst part is the god damned go pro is gone!?! I shur hope the sweep dudes find it and ship it back to Mick.  My nice new bike is as trashed as i am. Thats off road racing. I found some nice spectators who happened to have channel locks and pliers to pull out some of the choya cactus deeply embedded. One of them was a dentist and he still could not pull it out with out all hands, including mine. Choya cactus poisoning on a nine and half hour drive home sucks.
 Got home at midnight thirty just in time to celebrate my birthday with a late night epsom salt bath to try and soak some of my scabs off before bed. I began to wonder about how serious my buddy's wife who bandaged me up was when she said i could use some stitches on my back and shoulder. I realised she was probably correct when my bath water started to look like tomato soup, which made my choya poisoned stomach almost turn the tomato soup chunky. got a few hours of sleep and spent my beloved birthday monday limping around the shop thinking about the next race..... I cant fuckin wait.
Racing is life.  Happy trails, newbold 747

With a van you can

Chrome gets ya home

Lord Mick's new cruiser. he started with the seat and built around it, protapers, oury grips. The pedals are "747" (my favorite part).

cherry popin

On any sunday yesterday was a day of virgin bike cherry poppin. My buddy Will got his xs chopper on the road, I finally bolted on enough barnacles to my new honda to deem it ready to thrash and gangster Ian had a brand new yamaha so we went out to the bad lands and gave the dirt bikes their first proper rapping. it was orgasmic to be on a new bike again.

R.I.P. Nathan Woods

Total tragedy.
Nathan was one of the nicest people I ever met and a damn fine champion. When i was racing out of my 4dr BMW and sleeping in the dirt he would put me up in his big rig. A factory pro with true class
He will be missed.

Left behind him is a spirit to race hard.  - pin it we will!

Will's Yamahammer

Off season training

Back yard 1/8 mile short track in Wyoming. Delicious.

Winter shredding

My buddy Maynard's wheel.  Maynard shreds hard.

Happy day.

Well today was a good day for me. I finally snapped out of my winter doldrums for long enough to get my head on straight and a loan for the full amount on a brand new 09 honda crf450x. The bike of my dreams since they came out when I was lofting whoops on a xr650 in baja. YES! Haven't had a new bike for three years and the three years before that i had one a year.  The X is gonna take some heavy breathing on to bring up to snuff on the hp delivery of my R or the Johny Cambell rocket steed i got pictured, stock it is a purring pussy cat. With some of my borrowed scrilla It will soon be a mad mountian lion in heat tearing up rag dolls like freddy kruger. I all ready got a full TwoBrothers system and a ARRGH camshaft on the way.
Anybody wanta pay for a room in my house or maybe just rob some banks in my van?

... o, I  have a real nice, clean 08crf450R for a real deal. hardly ever riden, never raced,(well just a we bit) and never down...except one time it tipped over in the garage. O and one time it clipped a 12" pipe and..... the stop sighn shape of the rear wheel is an enduro traction control device and the baseball sized dents in the swing arm are just cosmetic enhancements. Brand new plastics so its purdy much a fresh spring chicken.

50 nutz....in yo mutha fuckin mouth!
