So, next Wednesday I'm heading over as the lone soldier for the US in Hillclimbing. I'm competing against 13 other countries that have 5 riders per team and at a hill that we haven't ridden since 1991. It's a Exhibition race for the FIM to observe the sport for a possible 2011 officially sacntioned sport, the same as World MX, Road Racing and Speedway. It's a huge step for the sport and I'm honored to be able to ride for my country. My bike was sent out today in the crate and will hopefully be ready to rock the hill come next Sunday. I'll keep ya posted and have photos for sure.

Thanks alot to all of you guys. You guys rule!
Footage of the #1 French rider, pretty gnarly hill. Maybe about 750 - 800 ft to the top. Last time I was there was 1991 on the twin CR500 with the Pro-Circuit Peak graphis and 1 of 6 riders to go over the top at age 15. Going back 18 yrs later is gonna be a trip for sure.

This is the beast that I rode back in 1991. Twin CR 500's on Methanol, with Pro-Circuit built pipes, motors and 250 graphics.
The bike was so sick.

No embarrasment here.
I just can't handle the fumes from the bkes that long on that side of the track
I seen it all go down though, definately a little something fishy. I was just stoked to see River ride again and little Nicky Reimer is right there giving him a run.
Bright future in Speedway for those boys.
