I am doing my first roadbike ride today !!!
It is only 16 miles but it’s a start !!Did you shave your legs? 😆
Downtown Lake Hiawatha, The Knoll table-top and The Crater in Whippany. Hope to get over to the Madison trails sometime soon.
Last night was a great night! Over 20 motos in the first race and 5 Rookie and a combined 30-something Ex/Nov had a main! The second race had about 20 motos too! Caveman did great on the mic and as usual the staff at EHT had the track in great shape.
Thanks to everyone who made last night a great night of racing under the lights!
My legs are almost back to normal, but I did 15 minutes full stretching on Monday 6/19 with one set of 15 crunches to work the abs. Need to get more sets in on the ab work.
Hopefully heading out to tonights double race at EHT if I can get out of my office in the next 15 minutes. If I make it there tonight, then the next week & a half will be training (I am probably not racing this weekend)
that’s the one all right. I think this is a pre-slam picture.
LMAO!! 😆 😆 😆 😆
As a “salesman” by trade, I have been to alot of seminars in the last 15 years. I can honestly say that Greg could give a seminar to just about any organization about the mental aspects of training and preparedness. I think every adult that was there this weekend would agree with me that you can take alot of what Greg said and apply it to other areas of your life and see results.
I think this weekend was the first time I ever truly “trained” in BMX (or any other sport). So far I had been happy to lose 25 pounds and be back on the track, but things have not clicked from week to week. Even in the past I never followed a training program or regimen. Jess and me posted in another thread how neither of us could walk very well afterwards. My thighs and calfs are killin me…and I’m happy about it!
My son is 5 years old, and he attended with me. Those who were there saw that his attention span was limited, and all he wanted to do was ride, but Greg had alot of patience with him. My son was still talking about the seminar today and can’t wait to get back and practice.
Thank you Greg for coming out and Rich for putting this all together, you went above and beyond to do this. Thanks also to Rich Carolan for assisting Greg. Lastly, thanks to all the riders and parents who were there and helped with my son, it meant alot, you made him feel very important and kept him out of harms way when I was on the track or in the other group.
C-ya at the next race!
Thank you Jess, you just HAD to tell me that, huh? 😀
I knew I’d be missing alot, but at the same time, after the day I had at church and with my family, I was in the right place today.
Still, I know how you feel. I can barely walk today, my thighs and calfs are killin me. And I’m happy about it!!
Still, I hope to get to pick someone’s brain and hopefully someone can teach me to manual sometime soon. Who’s gonna be at EHT Tuesday night?

Nothing wrong at all.
If you would have attended the Hill clinic today I think you would understand the no chain thing.Believe me Rich and Rich, part of me is hating life for missing the second half the clinic, but at the same time it was an important day at church. I wish the clinic could have been another weekend. 🙂
I guess that was some old school attitude sneaking in there when I said this shouldn’t happen, and you’re both right. This is 2006 and racing has evolved, and since I don’t have these skills yet, I may not appreciate them as much as I should.
I hope everyone who was there today took good notes! I will be asking you to tell me what I missed! 😀
…but, the more I think about it, this really should not be allowed to happen. This tells you alot about where racing has gone. If there were longer straights and less jumps he would have been toast.
Now, if you are the 2 dudes chasing him, wouldn’t you just feel terrible right now?
Un-freakin-believable.
Its a shame I was only able to attend today because the clinic was unbelievable. I wish somehow I could get tomorrow video taped, because its killing me what I am missing. Someone take good notes for me!!!
If they keep that up, China might end up with some new beachfront property and South Korea would become an island (if it survives).
So if we go there and fight, at least no one can say its for the oil. It’s about us wanting to be the only one with big rockets, or at least the biggest rocket. Doesn’t this guy know we got bigger guns than him? (at least I hope so)
