May Day

Here we are at the end of the month of May.  May has been a pretty good month.  Went to Canada, did some running, some riding, some photo shoots, and started gymnastics with the grom.  The wee one is loving gymnastics, and we like it too.  Last night one of the ugly girls pushed her off the trampoline, holy shit it was terrifying to watch.  thankfully she is ok, and has already forgotten about it, but it scared the living hell out of us.

Im just going to post photos and let them tell the stories of the past little while.

 while judging cheer tryouts for SLCC, I got talked into some stunting

 Hanging out in Brett Metcalfs trailer at the SLC supercross.

 The wife and I on a sunday stroll through the back roads of Cache Valley.  She has a huge road ride in a week.  Good thing she has rode her bike once.  

 I caved and bought the book.  Hope its good.

 We will be taking advantage of the empty campus.  The grom loved the longboard

 Got me one of those downhill bikes.

 Got the flu last week, it was lame.  Sat in front of the TV for hours.

Photo shoot for my bike check.  braaaapppp

I do what I want Friday

I have been pretty productive so far today.  4:30 wake up call, a little laughing session at the gym (no training), coffee, breakfast, clouds, traffic, work, emails, faxes, facebook, twitter, blogs, email, billout, phone calls, and texts. 
No one else is in the office, rumor has it that the new office lady just got offered a new job, awesome.  However, all else fails miserably in comparison to the news that I got that my lil groms gets to start gymnastics soon.  Wow.  I got butterflies in my stomach when the wifester sent me that text.  I am so pumped that  I will even be able to be there one day week cause they start late enough. 
I have been sitting here imagining her running around and jumping and then one day doing flips and shit.  hahaha, so PUMPED! 
On top of that I stumbled upon a new macklemore video this morning that reminded me just how awesome my trip to Seattle was earlier this year with the mrs.  I love it there, and if I could handle the cloud cover I would probably move there.  But I cant, because I am a moody little woman when it comes to not seeing the sun, and I think the wife would for sure leave me if  was even more moody.
So I leave you with the video that I speak of.  Yeah I post alot of videos on my blog, and if you dont like it, eh, who am I kidding, no one reads this.

Phoenix or Africa?

 Well I was going to do a San Diego recap a bit back, but I was lazy and decided not to.  But this last weekend was Phoenix and due to the major heat exhaustion that I am still experiencing, I am not doing anything at work, so I thought I would do this.

To say that it was hot in Phoenix would be an understatement.  The unusually high temps (105 sunday), really put a hurt on this northern Utah cat.  I have gotten soft since leaving lake powell, thats for sure.  Thankfully our awesome TM Steve was at the finish line with a ice soaked towel to throw on our necks and bottled water, I probably wouldnt have made it back to the pits if it werent for that comfort.

Racing went well.  Scored some good finishes,and kept it rubber side down.  The comp was really good considering the moto count wasnt super high.  My class is just tough all the time, so I have to be ready all the time.  Up next is BC next month, it shouldnt be too hot there. 

Well back to the grind, so I can continue to be a dink.

 1st round qualifier into the dumb turn.

 This is my Bart Taylor impersonation

 a little go pro action

going faster than Nick V ever dreamed of in the Phoenix where it was hotter than a mexican fiesta

Neat

A while back I tested out the stainless steel GT. Chuck Fallon was there to film it. Turns out they used the footy for a commercial. Pretty stoked on this. Thanks for the heads up Nick

Texas

Texas is crazy. When they say everything is bigger in Texas, well, they mean it. Went for racing, did pretty good. Im going to let the pictures do the talking. I will say though, I love states that have smoking restrictions. Heres to eating some mashed potatoes and getting lung cancer at the same time.

Jerry with bmxmania.com getting all abstract on this one

This is part of the mtn. pass I drive over everyday, thought it was cool so I put it in here.

Martijn Jaspers from Holland. Taking a nap in between motos.

the door of our trailer, really pumped to be on that door.

What in the Sam hell? these things were everywhere.

check out the sweet horns underneath the trunk.

Our pit area in Texas.

I like the green spokes in the rims.

Grammas role in style in Texas.

All and all it was a good trip. Texas was a decent place to visit for two and a half days, but thats about it. Everytime I have been to Texas the wind blows, and I hate the wind. Its awesome to see the culture of other states, and makes me appreciate Utah when I leave. Up next is Chula Vista in a week so that will be good. This weekend is the bday, so we will be racing Go Karts, and I plan on putting the wife into a corner or two.

Daylight savings

Daylight savings time is awesome. I get to come home from work and have some outside time with my ladies. I love it.

She loves to go on rides on my bike with me. The second she sees me on my bike she runs to me to go on a ride.

She has been teething alot lately, like four molars coming at once teething. she is still a trooper. I think she got her pain tolerance from her ma, cause Im a sissy.

Oh Jib. I miss him, but he is doing well at bad doggy boot camp. Goes skiing all the time and loves having other homies to play with. I still miss him though.

She likes using them teeth.

The trampoline park was awesome. She goes crazy, loves the foam pit. Just wait til she sends it on the strider into the foam pit. I love being a dad.
