Dirt Rider Magazine

I know i seem to do this alot where i dont get time to check in and when i do i make a thread to see how everyones doing, but....its my only way to catch up with what everyones up to.

I havent been able to check DR as much because of some recent comp troubles. this past thursday i finally completed high school! I offically am done at the age of 16 waaaaa whooooooo! B) the ceremony is may 25th so when that comes i will post some pics up. I recently got a small raise at my work for being a hard worker, it was a small raise but none the less. About 3 weeks ago i bought my first car, a 1990 Toyota SR5 extra cab pick up. (i sold my XT350 to help with the cost of it) i bought it all my self from selling my bike and my paychecks. so i am excited i have done alot of work on it and its a great little truck. I will post pics very soon i promise. I am racing a national May 1st as well. I also get my braces off on april 28th. so alot has been going on lately. I will elaborate more because i have to go, but i hope everyone is doing great and still getting a chance to ride their bikes. ttyl......alex :D

hey alex good to see ya, i havent really been around here much either, my computer went down, but its all good now. Good job finishing high school, and getting a new truck! I recently put a new exhuast on my bike, i went with the fmf power bomb header and the titanuim power core silencer! Oh and i will be getting my license in about a month, so im looking foward to that too! lets see some pics of that truck!

thanks guys and i will have pics up in a few short mins of the truck, tool box and bikes. Thanks againfor all the replys its good seeing you guys on here and doing well. i am not 100% sure of what i want to do mark, i am gonna take the summer racing to figure it out i guess hahaha. I think its great yo exercise and are trying to stay in shape thats what its all about ya know? and congrats on the new exhaust adam, new parts are always fun.

lets see if this works :D

Congrats on the truck and tool box and tools, can't never have enough tools.

Love them MX51's.

Pretty sweet man. Much better setup than I have at home. Will be nice to have a pit bike....no having to hoof it up to the porto-jon to take a leak anymore at the track!

hahahah ML i thought you might see my bad spelling (god knows its not hard to miss). My 250 is amazing, I love that bike and its running amazing, just re-packed my exhaust, bled my brakes, checked the valves, took my bike apart and did a super deep cleaning, ect.. and thanks todd & pop i like my setup and i love MX51's as well pop hahah! :) I was glad to see hair stop in, yea my comp is 5yrs old so its been a good computer just having a few corks, which is fine i have definatley made my money on this computer. Very glad to hear from you hair, hope all is well with you and your bike :D I am definatley pretty happy with myself lately.

Race: I had fun but it wasnt even close to the turn out like it was last year, it probably didnt help having a reigonal qualifier going on at pala that i didnt know about. Anyways my bike ran great all day, i missed one of my motos because the announcer didnt call my name for my class like he was doing for everyone else, so that was a bummer. They had to mix classes to get the gates some what full. I was in the novice 250 class, but the gate consisted of:

250novice
450pro
250 intermediate

i got 7th out of 20. i would have probably passed a rider or 2 more if i wouldnt have stuffed the bars in my chest in a loamy corner haha :D Definatley not my best and i hate that i haven't done a race with just people of my class yet. Its always been mix in match. I am talking to my friend scott who races and hes gonna take me to some bigger events over the summer, so we will see how that goes haha. anyways all is well, I always love that rush of being at the gate and its great practice i had a great battle for 6th place but the guy was on a RM250 and kept pulling away in the straights, but i would catch up durning the whoops and some of the corners. i think my dad got some pics of it. anyways i will talk to you guys later! have a great day......alex

Good racing there Alex. And the bars and chest do meet now and then.

hahah no problem guys. and yea pop they meet here and there, its not so fun when they meet though lol. Yea the 6 guys in front of me at the race split up into 4 of the only pro guys on 450's (i wasnt even close to catching) and the other 2 were intermediate 250 riders. It was fun, but like i said i am gonna try hard to find just a race with novice to intermediate 250F riders. That will really show where i am at on the skill board of MX. anyways i will post pics when i am done brad with that build. I got the bike for my dad mainly, because i felt bad that he had to sell his bike, so i figured we would bring my 250f, ttr, and my new build to a track one of these days and me and my dad can mess around on the 50's together. My dad just likes riding period so he will like the new pit bike, he didnt care for the TTR to much only because a 6'5 guy just wont work on it hahaha. His knees were basically in his mouth on it. So the new 110 sits higher and it will be more comfortable. :D
