Been back home for a while now.. took a few weeks off since I got back from the Worlds in South Africa just relaxing and having some good quality down time from everthing leading up to the worlds.
UCI Worlds
Worlds this year was back in my home country. It was about 5 hours away from where I used to live.. so quite close. I flew with my GLUBBEco team rider Ian Anderson. He has been racing bmx for a year now and has really come up alot, this was his first race out of the country.
The track was really awesome. It was amazing too see basically 2 tracks within eachother. First practice day came around and hit the track in full force..(literally) Practice was going alright until i tried 2 sneak a pedal inbetween the 2nd and 3rd pro jump and gee'd my body out and dead sailored and ate it pretty good. Got up did some bike fixing up and hit the track again. After the first days practice got the track somewhat dialed in.
Day 2 practice was a whole lot better.. felt more comfortable riding and was smooth around the track.
Time trials and racing for us was on the same day. I felt confident on the track and it was go time for the time trials. My first lap in got decent but there was still room for improvement. I finished 35th just missing the top 32 cut for round 1. Round 2 was way better and finished 3rd. I checked my 2nd run compared 2 my first run and I would of qualified 19th with the 2nd run's time.
Racing didnt go down all that well. couldnt get a gate so didnt make it out of motos.
Cruiser day was alot better. Kind of a joke with no one besides a handfull of fast guys showed up. Felt alot better made it into the semi and blew the gate.
So to sum up worlds not anything 2 remember lol.
Came back home and too a few weeks of to refuel physically and mentally.
Prunedale was 2 weeks ago. It was in my break but I raced it anyways since its my local track. there was 7 AAs so we did 3 motos for lane choice and then main. I had a decent gate in the main was in 4th going down the last straight and took a digger and rung my bell pretty good.
Day 2 started off good same deal as day 1. 3 motos for lane choice and then main. Had a bad gate but was in 4th. Made a move for 3rd. Photo finish with Afro BoB. pretty sure I got it but they went with the finish line scorer. So day 2 was 4th.
I did the Friday Pro clinic and what a great turn out of kids we had! All of them were super cool and learned alot! So big shout out 2 all the guys that came out and did the clinic.
I'll attach my time trial video and a few pics!
Next stop Reno next weeekend for the next UCI Round. Check back then for an update!
