Hey bro, he gets a new helmet about 3 times a year. They are all just a little different, I can't tell you for sure which one he currently is wearing. I just clean them between moto's!lol!

Yes, he's raced at Loretta Lynn's Amature National Championships every time he has 'qualified'. You can't just show up at Loretta's, you must qualify at one of the many LL qualifier races around the country, only the fastest make the cut.
Loretta's 2012 was his last amature race.
Here's a pic from Loretta's this year 2012. That's our boy #87, I told him "ride it like you stole it"!lol!

No Troy Lee gear.
FLY is one of his sponsers. He's not supposed to wear anything else. I have all kinds of FLY gear, jackets, gloves,ect.

He rides Arenacross in the winter. Yamaha will only pay contingency money for new bikes. 2 years old or newer, so all his bikes are 2012. We spend as much on race-preping each bike as they cost new. We have $12,000-$14,000 in each bike. And he broke 2 bikes this year. The one in the picture was only 1 week old! He didn't go down, but it bent his front brake disk, so he had to pull off, DNF.:cry:

He's raced all around the country since he was 12 & was able to keep a 3.0GPA, I'm soo proud of him!

I remember those Days,But no homeschool.My principal was cool he just had my teachers set out my school work were i could turn it in when i returned home.


The teachers didnt like it tho,I was gone all of Feb,for the Winter Nationals in Florida.
I won a Custom van from my Father when i was 16 in a bet.He had just bought me a 250cr,and i was racing local 125cc pro.

He said if I won the 250cc pro tht weekend he would buy me whatever kinda car i wanted for my 16th Birthday,Got 2 first moto and 1st the second for the overall.


So i got a Van with the front part all custom with a icebox in it and fold down backseat made a bed,had a divider and my bikes were on the otherside of the divider with a 25g shower nozzel.

I remember getting 2 RM125cc for less than 2grand,Boy when they went 4 stroke prices went thru the Roof.

Beautiful helmet! I can't believe how fast they get dinged-up.
I can clean all the mud out of one of those in about 15min!
Then spray the inside with 'OrangeGlow' for freshness.
Good luck with your new helmet

He's 19 years old, he started racing bikes at 7yrs old. He's always raced Motocross bikes, never quads.
The pic of him studying was a few years ago, he graduated from HS a year ago.
The podium pic is, 1st place 450 at Ponca City!:clap:
We change the oil after every moto!:o
