Thanks for coming along for the ride! It's nice to hear that you're enjoying the racing. I think it's too cool that Justin has his family there all the time cheering him on.

Thanks for coming along for the ride, my dude!

@@BMXsteru deserve more subs for sure!🫡

Word up.. I appreciate that! I'm gonna keep doin my thing & we will see what the future holds. I'm glad to have you, Shotgun, for the ride! 🤘

That's too cool to hear. Thanks, man! I think having to race against guys that are sometimes 10+ years younger than me has given me the drive to progress.

Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate the feedback as well! Is it better cause I got butt kicked by an ex pro 😆

Yeah. No, I actually tried to keep from doing just that. It was just a single point local race. I've still been recovering from East Moline Gold Cup & haven't been 💯%.

Thanks, my dude!

Hey man, Thanks for the suggestion & feedback. I appreciate that!

@@BMXster no problem!

I'm simply enjoying being back on my bike again after enduring months of rehabilitation. I'm competing against guys who are 11+ years younger than me, but I know I'm doing well enough to advance each round. There's numerous reasons, but in a nut shell, I'm having a great time.

Oh, was that part still in there... I might have mistakenly forgotten to edit that out, or did I 🤔 😆

@@BMXster 🤣

I was extremely thankful to be able to walk away from that one, not like the last time someone took me out.

@@BMXster 🙏

Thanks, my friend!

Nice work.

@addrenjunky Thanks for coming by & droppin a comment!

It's amazing to hear the feedback 😀 Thanks my friend!

Wat's Will, how's it goin?

I'm stoked to hear that! I can only hope that these videos appeal to others, besides just myself. It's cool that you enjoyed it. 🤘

Great video man and great racing!

@codydulmes804 Thanks, Cody. In the moment, I was kind of hard on myself. But reflecting back, I did pretty damn good against guys that were well over 10+ years younger than me.

@@BMXster hell yeah you did!

Yeah, ( Thrillbilly ) mentioned he was hitting a few of the GC

@@BMXster Holy crap man he would 😀👍 I hope you're alright btw!

I've always been geared up from head to toe. There's been a few times I've been thankful for it.

He wasn't afraid to give it a go at least, even after I told him it was gonna go up on Friday Fails if he wasn't able to pull it off. He was a good sport about it 😃

Yoo, wat up Flex! Thanx for comin by to check out a clip! That might have been the case. It was a slight bit dusty, too. I made a mental note after that to take that inside corner a bit wider cause it's caught a handful of riders off guard. Just between me and you, that jump was just extended by at least 2 feet last week, that the inside scoop. 😉

BMX misses you too! 😄 There's never a better time than now to get back on that steel horse 🐎 Thanks for coming by to say hi @midwestmafia8391. I appreciate it!

@@BMXster I will be 50 in a few weeks. Haven’t been on 4130 since 1998. Had some misfortunes in my life. But now I’m over 11 years sober. BMX has never left my blood. I got second in the state of Illinois in novice in 1996. I had first. But my buddy had a birthday two weeks before the state championship. And moved him into my class. He had 8 more points. And in the second moto I wrecked and smashed my face on the dirt. Knocked me out and broke my jaw. I was wearing and open face with a jofa. So I stuck around and self medicated, on booze and narcotics, got last in the third moto and last in the main. And I got second in state. But I still have my complete 24” Widowmaker. Probably a 1995 model. Still have my menstrual cycle and my challenger. I was half ass sponsored by S&M. Was a dealer for them in my shop since 1993. Bought my 24” wheels from Mike Mchue when he worked at system cycle. Used to get all my stuff from John Paul Rogers and Chris Stevenson. I’m still good friends with Chris. I got all the old school stuff. I just sold my complete never assembled mini cobra. BMX is a disease. Not one day has went by that I don’t think about bmx.

@@BMXstersame here..Fam doesn’t back me.. came back to try to fulfill my goal.. Making a cruiser main and a 1st in class… But just received grief as always

@mygolfballsannoy Well, congratulations, my friend! It can be easy to say from an outside prospective to continue with it if you're truly passionate about it. I can't imagine how difficult it must be not to have the support of your loved ones. You gotta get a few race clips up even if it's a #short

@@BMXster​​⁠i do.. in private.. Most of my adult bmx years i have no vid.. Because no one came to local/races with me.. always alone🤣🤣…..😭😭…🤣🤣

Wow, No Bueno! Concussions are no joke. I hope all is well with you now! I hadn't realized so many people wrecked out. Which day was it that, that happen?

@@BMXster the 1 day I think

@squidy_bloxburg How are you doing now as a result of that? I hope it's all behind you by now. I think the next video I'm gonna put out is from Race of Champions from last year. Good stuff!

Oh man, I'm truly sorry to hear that. That was a very active day for emergency services, for sure. How are you doing now after 3 weeks? I have had 1st hand experience with that subject, and I had a few pins in mine at one time. Hopefully, you didn't have to have surgery?

I appreciate the kind words! How are you doing now? I'm progressing day by day. I ended up with a posterior shoulder dislocation, which accounts for only 2% of all dislocations. Which is where humerus ball was out of the socket behind my scapula. Pretty gnarly! 😆

@@BMXster ooh, mine wasnt that bad I slid out in turn one after tapping my breaks, had a giant bump on my elbow for a few minutes, and it was sore for like 2 weeks, im alright now though Hope you get better!

That sucks! It sounds like you were able to hop back up and finish it out? How did you finish out the weekend? Did you walk away with any Gold?

@@BMXster Yeah, i stood up instantly and rode off, it really only started hurting after the line. I crashed round 1 on saturday so I was able to race mains, I got first and first in class all weekend! So I finished overall Gold Cup #1 for 16x

Niiiice, that's impressive ‼️🤘💪 That's not an easy class ur runnin in either.

Thanks, Nick! It was pretty nasty getting sent face first into the berm full speed!

@@BMXster I saw I was right up against the fence the other guy that went down walked over to the step up going into first turn where I was at

@nicksoppe7371 That's wild. You must have had the good seats that day 😆

Thanks for coming by and saying hi, I appreciate that! I got tapped perfectly on the rear tire, I'm guessing by the looks of my race rig.

Thank you my friend ❤️

@@BMXster 🤛

I'm extremely pleased to hear that! I encourage you to come out to the track this weekend, weather permitting. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have before you jump head first. Check link to Insta if you like, in about info. Hit me up there. Additionally, for more info, I would recommend Madtown BMX Facebook

Thanks for the tips! I will try to make it out.

Sounds good 👍

Good thing I brought along a fresh change of underwear 🤣

@@BMXster LOL!

Thanks man! 😃

You're the best! You saved from potentially getting bumped out of the Top 10! Cheers

I like seeing the guys in the videos as well. With all the training a few of them have been putting in, I don't think it will be much longer before they start making it a permanent thing being out in front of me. The wrist is coming around slowly 🐌 Thanks for checking up on me! And the feedback back is very much appreciated 👍

It is a fun little track. The staff & volunteers do a really good job taking care of the track too. I like that it's smooth with it be sealed multiple times throughout the season. Thanks for coming by to let me know what ya think.

Thanks again for the amazing shots of the race. I can't thank you enough!

@@BMXster You bet man! Glad I was able to get the opportunity! I tried to get others but missed their moto's, oh well.

Video can be deceiving, I'm not that fast. 😄

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks Man!

No doubt! It can be a bit tricky even for an experienced rider

Those local guys will give ya a run for ur money 💰

Im a bmx racer for there at rockford

Are you talking about in general or on the track?

On the track. Riding with you guys is making me faster. Cheers! @@BMXster

Thanks my friend 🙂

I glad someone is enjoying these! Thanks for coming by and commenting, its very much appreciated 😃

That's one aspect that keeps it interesting is challenging yourself at a track you've never ridden before

@@BMXster well done sir!

Thanks 🔥
