BMX racing

A BMX dirt track is being developed close to us. They just started racing and this is Aspen and Emma's 3rd week of competing. They do two heats and a final in each age group - by novice, intermediate and expert.

Aspen did her best, but with 4 riders in her group, she came in fourth and didn't make it into the finals. Here she is clowning on her dad's bike. Clay races too for the fun of it. Cousin Krew also placed 3rd -it was his first time racing.

Emma made it to the finals and was going like gang-busters - til she wiped out. She picked up her bike and kept going. She almost caught up to the rider in 2nd and came in 3rd for a medal. She skinned her elbow and kept on going. WE are Proud of Her.
