Now thats Dh racing!

I started in BMX in 71 in So Cal were it all began and raced till 81. You couldn't get me off my bike as a kid it was my life. I had won my fair share of races and was helped out by Se Racing it was a great life for a kid back then. I spent the next 23 years in auto racing. You name it from Nascar cup cars, sports cars, sprint cars, Top Fuel dragsters and lots of kart racing. In 2005 I was burned out I had traveled all over and worked mega hours on race cars for most of my life and it was time for a change. I had two boys now and my older son Josh was starting to ride. Time for me to get back on a bike after 23 years of auto racing. So at 39 I was racing BMX again. Yes everyone at work thought I was nuts! More so I think because I was racing 20 inch and a 24 inch bikes not a mountain bike. My boss was real good about it but there were some that I gone mad. How do you go from going 100 mph to riding a kids bike? I raced BMX till 2008 had some fun won some national events but I had the MTB bug bad now because a friend loaned me his Specailized Enduro for month and that was it I was hooked! My whole family rides now and my older son started racing DH this year and has a good shot at top 3 overall for the year he is stoked. We just spent the week in Whistler for Crankworx for the 3rd year in a row and had a blast. My 9 year old rode the mountain for the first time and had a blast and my 12 year rips Dirt merchant now. I cant get enough of it and I'm going on 45 myself. I still race Dh, 4x and Dual and have done pretty well this year so far. But what makes my day is when I go to the dirt jumps and watch my 12 year old hit the same stuff I'm hitting that is really cool. Nothing better then taking your kids out riding trails... nothing.
