With the weather we’ve had so far this summer, it’s never been a bad day riding! I rode with a buddy of mine in Litchfield at a friend’s backyard Motocross track. I had a fun, fun time!

A cool start to Saturday at the Scott County Fairgrounds in Jordan for my fourth Motokazie supercross event of the year, but after Noon, things started to heat up fast!

I had fun starting near the front, middle, and back of the pack for each of 4 practice sessions. Each position has its own unique challenge and way of thinking. It took no time at all for the far more talented “A” and true “B” class riders to work their way around me, sending dirt and mud flying every direction. There’s a lot of trust for one another out there, and this is what makes being in the air side-by-side on a jump and going two wide in a place with no room to spare possible most of the time.

I had a friend crash pretty hard out there during the third practice session and we had to coordinate to help him make a hospital run. After a little pain, everything turned out to be just fine. He’ll be riding again soon enough!

I’ve been having a lot of fun riding with a great group of quad guys this Spring, and hopefully with good health and good fitness, I’ll continue to mix it up with the young pups out there the rest of the year!

Congratulations on Mason Giller for his Mini Quad Production win!

Shout out to 266MX PhotoGraphy specifically for making a vet guy look fast, but also to Manny Wall for several shots throughout the day, and the video you see below. Also, thanks to Logan Herker for making a GoPro video that I stole a screenshot from to show you part of our rather big practice group of 16 quads!

Feeling nostalgic tonight, so posting this old video from 15 years ago of my friend Dave on his Honda 250R at the Scott County Fairgrounds Motokazie Track in Jordan, MN. Check out that old gnarly layout!

Standard definition because that’s what the original GoPro was!

In 2008, there was a natural terrain motocross track in Searles, MN near New Ulm. It was open for a few years and was always a good time.

A look at a typical Spring afternoon in Tri-County ATV Park near Faribault/Northfield, Minnesota in April 2005.

This is probably the best layout that the Sandbox/Cedar Lake Arena has had since the inception of the facility. 35 quads in total came out for the private rental today. We all had a terrific time!

That’s my groove… (Video courtesy: Pete Hager)

I attempt to keep up to a couple of fast Can Am guys at Hurricane Hills on my YFZ450. Eventually, I’m just along for a joy ride of my own. 🙂

A decent quad turn out, and all of us are giving chase. All Can Am except for one YFZ450. That would be me.

Mark and I battle it out the entire duration of practice.

Here we are at the 3rd Jordan Supercross Practice of the season. Watch at about 6:00 for a bit of a close call!

A little smack talking before organized practice begins at Jordan, early Summer of 2017.

Take several laps around Pine Island MX in glorious 1440p at 48 frames a second.

Here’s a short edit of some video my dad took with his Yuneec drone, and some of my GoPro helmet cam footage. All video shot near Pine Island, Minnesota. Rendered to 1080p24.
