Supercross Update - better late than never?

07/24/2010

I realize that I am a month behind....ok maybe a couple!  But, I finally got around to writing an update about my five week adventure with Jeff Gibson doing the last five rounds of Supercross.

Since I got hurt and was not able to finish the AX series I was sitting around thinking about what to do next.  I really wasnt sure about my future as a racer, so I figured I would try my hand as a mechanic, driver, chaplain, and team manager all at one shot.  It turned out that it was a lot more work than I thought and really took a lot to do it!

SX UPDATE - 5/3 Las Vegas, NV

02/05/2008

written by Chad Goodwin

The final supercross of 2008 was held in Las Vegas, NV.  With the end of the season, Kevin needed to get his bikes off the truck.  Kevin drove to Las Vegas, and I flew in with Jim from Lakeland Homes. It was a good thing Kevin drove, as he had to head straight for Riverside, CA on Monday for a photo shot for the 2009 Fly Racing Catalog.  The photo shoot for the catalog also gave him another chance to hit the foam pit at Nate Adam's house, which really helped him get the practice he needed.
