Great video........he was hauling
Thank you, it was funny, on the podium when the guy asked if he had been practicing a lot, Colby said "nah not really just riding around my yard". The guy said "well it looks like its working"
Cant wait to see you guys out there.
I miss going down there with my son. I believe I applied to much pressure and made him choose a diff sport. I was still learning the whole dad thing.
Your boys ripping great job.
Congrats!!!!! :ThumbsUp.gif
He must be running race fuel he was gone congrats to the little man :Fp
GOOD JOB COLBY!!!
I love watching the kids race... All heart.
Colb was riding his lil butt off! His 1st sweep in Dade City. Great Job! Also, congrats to Eric Emanuelson on a top podium finish in the Sponsored Cup Class ;) .
Thank You all for the encouraging words. Colby is sitting here with me.
We hope he can carry this momentum to the next race in 2 weeks.

I understand what your saying, it is easy to do. I sometimes catch myself in the moment and have to step back and take a breath. There are a lot of parents out there that put too much pressure on the kids and you can tell who's heart is in it and who's is not. The last thing I tell him before every gate drop is, "have fun, ride your race, hold your lines, ride safe and I dont care what the outcome is as long as you have fun and finish on all 4 wheels". He knows what he wants now and how to get it. I always check to make sure this is what HE wants to do and he knows if he ever chooses to stop we will.
