HEY, well sept has been really busy. I have been at Camp Woodward hanging out but had to fly to cali to race dirt bikes in the GOPRO Pala Crossover Event. First moto went well, I got 12th -44. The second moto not so well, I got a top ten start then out of nowhere I got landed on and caused me to highside and crash at high speed. I got rocked and nearly run over by the rest of the field but walked away. Next we had VANS TM Jerry Badders wedding in long beach, it was a beautiful wedding and every thing was perfect,congrats. After that i drove to LA to film a VANS/YO GABBA GABBA commercial for there upcoming shoe. We did a remake of the movie RAD. I had alot of fun riding my bike that day dressed in 1980 bmx gear. Then i jumped on a plane and flew to SLC, we had a BMX/MX crossover team race, fuzzy& Aaron Cooke put on a great event at the 215 moto track. We raced dirt bikes and raced a bmx pump track. My team came in 2nd and everyone walked away healthy …later that week I entered the Dew Tour. I put 2 soild runs in and sat on the bubble for the whole 2nd heat riders but then got bumped to 17th. The Monday after dew tour I signed up for a 2 day street bike school at Miller Raceway with Bestwick and Kagy. I had a blast riding for 2 days and learned a lot about racing on a road track,they also let us rip the Mustangs around for a few hot laps. Back in PA now and switched up my bmx bike, I’ve loved having raw bikes so I stripped my paint for a fresh look. Wow looking back on this month it has been epic, thanks to everyone, check the video for a slideshow i put together,

I’m finally back home after the craziness of the X Games.
Vert had a new venue this year, the Nokia theater, and it made a great stage for a wild contest.
I got worried when I saw the list for my Elimination round – a bunch of serious bad-asses – I was worried I wasn’t gonna make it. I needn’t have worried though as I made the final pretty easily.
The big show is always nerve-racking and I was feeling pretty exhausted after four 30 second long runs in prelims then four more in finals. I held it together pretty well though and, as the session clock ran out, I was tied for 2nd place. PHEW!!!!! Job done for another year!!!!!
Back to the ramp today, time to get ready for Portland Dew Tour in 10 days!!!
Thanks to everyone at Rockstar for all of the support!!!!
