What?
Yep!
I figured I would post about what I have learned in a year about Motocross.
*Looking fresh and having a sweet setup is almost as important as proper bike maintenance!
*Points. It all comes down to points. Well really more like attendance. Want to win a series Championship? Show up every weekend.
*I've always hated the Summer heat, but the cold of winter is far worse on my little racer.
*Speaking of Summer, the wind doesn't blow in Pell City, AL in the Summer. Damn near died of a heat stoke one weekend.
*Butt Whips are not the same as a butt whippin'.
*Whipping is not done in the kitchen.
*Scrubbing has nothing to do with cleaning.
*Railing a rut is a good thing.
*Dust will give your legs a fabulous tan for the day.
*There is an art to properly packing a gate.
*Holeshots/good starts = everything in a 50cc race.
*Running around the track and screaming at your kid doesn't work. They can't hear you. You look like an idiot. Just stop.
*Little League parents have nothing on an enraged MotoDad.
*If the track needs watering...it happens just before the 50's go out.
*There is an exact science to loading the trailer to accomodate the most bikes + gear + golfcart.
*Oh and that Golf Cart, it was the best purchase of the year.
*If you're winning, losers think you're cheating.
*Seeing your dude effortlessly clear a jump for the first time will give you cold chills. Every time.
*Seeing your dude pull a holeshot does the same.
*Getting back on the bike after a crash is extremely important.
*Scrubbing has nothing to do with cleaning.

All that being said, Motokids are the toughest kids around. I couldn't be more proud of Wyatt and his hard work.
As long as the weather holds up, we're headed to Tennesee this weekend for an Area Quailifier.
We're also sending a ton of prayers to the Cochran Family. Casey, someone who Wyatt so looks up to, had a spill last weekend. Resulting in 2 broken legs.
Heal up soon, Casey! We're praying for you!
