I'm going to make this quick as I'm just using a computer at the information centre for P.E.I. - I'm out East with my parents now and we decided to come see the island for a couple days before heading back to Ottawa for next weekend. I guess there's an awesome track over hear which I'm going to ride tomorrow too.

Well I finally had the weekend I had been aiming for last weekend in Nanaimo. I ended up only racing the 450 again, and I was glad I did. Below are my results...read on for the full story.
MX1 (17-17), 17th overall
It was a great week all around, from visiting my cousin in Victoria and swimming in the ocean, catching crabs, rope swinging, visiting some friends in Campbell River, seeing the massive 800 year old trees in Port Alburni, and going for some really nice runs thru trails around the island. The only downside of BC were the tracks! They're all SO HARD and rocky. That said, I did minimal riding last week but it was a nice break.

I'm already here just outside Edmonton getting ready for this weeks National at Castrol Raceway. The Nanaimo National went alright but I'm disapointed with the second moto result. As you may already know the Wastelands is not a track I like but its the same for everyone. Let me start with the first moto where I got caught up in the first turn with riders going down. After getting through that I came around in 15th position at the end of the first lap and put my head down and started to charge and try to pick as many riders off as quickly as possible. By mid moto I had came through the pack up to around 7th spot i was then able to get past Gibson for 6th and then set about catching Nelson. I finally realed Nelson in and passed him for 5th three laps from the end and thats where I finished which I was pretty happy with after the start I got.

Just thought I would send out an update on how everything is going with me.
As some of you know, on May 11th at the Walton Provincial I went over the bars on the step down and crashed extremely hard. The result of this is 2 completely torn tendons (supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons) in my left shoulder.
I went in for surgery on Friday June 13th to undergo reconstruction of the tendons. The surgery went well with no problems other then the doctor was unable to find all the material of the tendons in-order to stretch them back. Therefore I have to be super careful that I do not aggravate the
shoulder or the tendons could tear again and it won't be possible to repair them again. This whole healing process is going take for 8-12 months for everything to be completely healed. It will probably take a couple more months to get the strength back in my arm and shoulder.

So in the end I decided to just ride the 450 this weekend in order to put all my energy into one class. I chose the 450 class since my 250f had been apart all week and I didn't get to practice on it. My results were:

If you are planning on racing in the Walton TransCan be sure to checkout your ANQ results at: http://www.cmrcracing.com/results/default.asp
Make sure they are correct as these results will be used to calculate your gate position and whether you will be confirmed or placed on standby.
Contact your regional CMRC representative if any ANQ results require fixing.

Like most sports it’s the unpredictable that makes the story sometimes. The results for the top three riders in the MX1 class where perhaps not a surprise to many. Medaglia, Keast and Klatt! The first two have ridden this track more often than I’ve had hot dinners. Klatt can win a moto anytime he puts his mind to it. For those of you who where not at the race watch it on TV. Kyle trying to gun down Medaglia and getting so close is priceless. All fairly predictable, very exciting but predictable.
For Pico the before and after Gopher Dunes where totally unpredictable.

The Sports Media in Canada doesn't think Canadians are interested in Motocross, which is why they don't cover it.
The truth is Canadians love motocross! We have some of the best Athletes (yes I said athletes) in the world and it's time these tremendous riders were recognized in the athletic community.
Please sign this petition demanding the media cover motocross with the same frequency as the bat and stick sports. Together let's show them how many Canadians love this sport!

Hey everyone. This past weekend was the second round of the Monster Energy Canadian Motocross nationals in Gopher Dunes. It was my first time to this track and wow was it a knarly one. I have never seen such a rough, whooped out bottomless track. The Shuster family did an awesome job of preparing the track and keeping it watered.
This weekend went a lot better for me than the previous one at St Julie. The day started off really well by having the fastest lap time in both practices. I felt strong and confident going into the first moto and knew that it was going to be a survival match out there. I got off to a horrible start; I think I was like 25. I then got taken out on the first lap and was pretty much dead last. I put my head down and charged hard and started picking guys off. Some corners and sections I was able to pass 2-3 riders at once. By the end of the moto I was able to catch up to finish 4th. It was a great ride but still not the result I wanted.

Kamloops, BC(June 2, 2008) Last weekend the Monster Energy/Thor/Leading Edge Kawasaki team made their way to the deep sands of the Gopher Dunes circuit in Courtland, Ontario for Round 2 of the CMRC Nationals looking to build on their successful 1-2 finish the previous weekend at Ste. Julie.
The always challenging sand certainly made things interesting for the team. After turning the fastest lap times during Saturday’s practice, Nick Evennou was looking to keep the team’s winning streak alive and despite hitting a downed rider on the first lap of the moto still managed to work his way back to third at the checkered flag. The podium finish meant that Evennou would inherit the points lead over his teammate, Teddy Maier who put on a valiant effort in the moto, working his way up to nineteenth after a first lap crash left him in last place. Maier turned the third fastest lap of the moto as he worked his way through the pack, securing 2 valuable points in the championship chase. The team’s third rider, Brock Hoyer, also had a crash to contend with and managed to charge all the way up to fourteenth at the finish.

CMRC National MX Series: Round 2, Gopher Dunes, ON, May 31 / June 1 , 2008.
Royal Distributing Thor Riverside KTM Canada riders had an amazing weekend in Gopher Dunes for Round 2 of CMRC MX National. To add to a reputation of being the toughest track in Canada, the rain poured down Saturday and left the deep sand track wet and heavy all day Sunday and it got harder to ride as each moto when on. Even with the difficult conditions of the track, the riders were in shape and ready to race. In MX2, Eric Nye took the lead easily in the first moto and he crossed the finish line with at least 20 seconds on the 2 position with his KTM 250 SX-F. Nye almost grabbed the second moto Holeshot but was passed by Kyle Beaton before the end of lap one. Nye didn’t like
the view from behind and took the lead back in lap 3 when Beaton crashed. He stayed in front with almost a 30 second lead. With his top position, Nye takes the lead in the Series Championship with a 20 points advantage. It’s the 3rd year in a row that KTM Canada has won the MX2 class in Gopher Dunes.

Hey everyone sorry this update took a while to get up. This past weekend we raced in St Julie Quebec. It was the first round of the Monster Energy Canadian Nationals. I was super pumped that the season was finally upon us and couldn't wait to show everyone the hard work I put in during the off months.
