Race Results

We had a great night at BMX. Evan rode great and continues to show improvement. Cole finally got over his fear of the starting gate. It took a little encouragement from me but I think what really did it was that one of the older boys (about 12 to 14 years old I'm guessing) saw that he was afraid, and came over to talk to him. He told him that it would be alright and that he would ride with Cole. Well this boy was an amazing rider and could clear all the jumps and ride a wheelie and all the other cool stuff that Cole admires. And he was also a really nice boy. He would talk to Cole and ride along beside him at Cole's speed. He gave him tips and advise and really bolstered his confidence. By the time the racing started, he was ready.

They divide the groups by age and ability, so it ended up that the boys had only to race each other. They ride three separate races. It was evident that all of Evan's riding paid of and all of Cole's playing did not. Evan totally crushed Cole in each race. By the third race Cole was physically exhausted but Evan was still ready to ride more. See Grog, Base miles pay off!!

We are extremely proud of both boys and now that Cole has overcome his fear, I hope that he will ride more. You can see that he has a natural ability on the bike, but he just needs to be stronger. We will continue to go on mondays and wednesdays as long as the interest is there.
