As the weekend come to a close I feel that my first Nationals experience was with mixed emotions of success and some disappointment. My first day was filled with excitement and nervousness and I was able to make my first Main Event in a BMX National event and it was a goal I had set for myself back in January when I started riding again.
Then came Sunday and with one day under my belt I had high hopes. As I went into round 2 I had my sites on coming out on top but as I entered turn 2 and shot down low for the swoop on another rider, I came out of the corner and I believe my tire washed out do to some bumps and me increasing my tire pressure prior to the race (should have kept it at my normal PSI), I went down hard and banged myself up pretty good. We live and learn from our small mistakes and move forward as the cliche goes. In the end I had a great experience and hung out with great people.
Next up on the agenda is the State Race at Oak Creek BMX, this is the race I have been waiting for. It is a home track for me and all my BMX friends and family will be there ( not that it is any pressure..LOL) and it will be a great event. Thanks again to all those who came to see if I was alright after my crash I truly appreciate it. -VPW
