Monday (August 2nd) was an eye opener for me. I was driving on Hwy 35 to Parkdale and was distracted and managed to get caught going 91 in a 55. Well it was a 472 dollar ticket which put a damper on the weekend. But it made me realize how much I live on the edge, I mean any minute something could have happened and i was a split second from death the whole way. But the speed didn't phase me.
The past few years of riding my bike speed has been my main issue, along with jumping which is still something I need to get past. But I have always been uneasy at speed. This season racing Super D and Mini DH I learned to push the limits, Thanks to One Ghost Industries. I hope that I get a chance to race for them next year because I plan to take it up a notch and go big this next season. I get back from college in mid May, just enough time to start the season, I'm hoping to get to the Hood River Super D, Ashland Super D, and Crankworx Canada Enduro minimum. And podium at them all at Cat 2.
Next year should be good, and I'm keeping this blog going. Check back Tuesday for a ticket update.
