As most of you may already know I had suffered a broken wrist while competing in 05/06 Arenacross series. The injury was severe enough that I was unable continue the Arenacross series. In order for me to heal correctly I would need to stop riding for several months, so I parked the bikes but I I maintained training schedule so that I could stay in shape for when I was able to get back on a bike.
I was released to ride by my doctor
in early August, though I was excited to get back on a bike I decided to wait until after the Loretta National Amateur MX Championship races to ride again I went to the races as a spectator to support my friends that were competing in the 2006 Loretta Amateur Nationals.
While I was at the races my legs had began to go numb, not long after that I was rushed to the hospital where later I was diagnosed with Cancer.
I was then transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to undergo surgery. I am still fighting this battle but I am on the road to recovery. With the support of my family and friends and most of all, all my fans.
I would like to thank every for everything, I can not thank everyone enough for the support and backing that I have received. It's an experience that I will use as a positive thing in my life and I will make the best of it. I am thank full that I am now able to ride again and look forward to competing again soon.
I will not be competing professionally in 2007, yet I hope to Comeback to the professional events for the Arenacross 2007/2008 series.
As you have noticed by the pictures on my new website I have made the switch from Kawasaki Team Green to Yamaha. With the help of some new sponsors I am riding again on a limited schedule. Most of my time is still spent at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, but I have been fortunate enough to have great weather that has aloud for me to ride. several times in the past couple months.
You can view all of the recent photos that were taken when I was able to ride. Visit my Photos page and my Wallpaper page to see some of my most recent pictures.
Again thank you everyone for all your support and I look forward to seeing you all at the track again soon.
