So earlier in the week I found out that Sam Willoughby, Jared Graves, and Alise Post are going to be putting on a clinic at Rehbeins.  Of course I will snap up the opportunity to learn from one world class racer non the less 3 at the same time!  Of course I was the only 'old' guy at the clinic but what the heck someone needs to raise the median age!  Anyway they did a great job with the crowd they had, I learned a couple key things and hope to continue to get better at this 'kids' sport...  especially since I don't plan on growing up anytime soon!  =;^) 

That evening I was able to apply some of the stuff I learned, Rehbeins had 27 motos for a saturday night in January in MN, I absolutely LOVE the dedication that BMX racers have here in Minnesota.  I signed up for both the class bike and my cruiser, we had a pretty stout field in both classes as well!  I did not get agressive enough in the first 2 moto's and thus did not transfer directly.  In the second moto's I got a good start on my cruiser and won, so I was pretty happy about getting into the main... Unfortunately I did not have as good of luck on my class bike, although I was the only novice in the class, one expert and 2 intermediates.. anyway...  Feature time I only had to concentrate on one bike, I got a good start and was able to hold my ground through the berms and managed to make a pass for a 3rd place! 

It was great to be back on the bikes again, but I think the clinic took alot out of me, still well worth it!
