A few shots from BPG

[Pappy]

I woke up this morning sick as a dog...I geuss what has been making me feel crappy finally hit:p Maybe its the Swine flu:chinese:

The past 4 days have been a ton of work and a ton of fun. I am working on the GNCC Coverage, Uploading galleries, sorting 4 different days of photography and sucking on hot tea and a peppermint stick:p Life pretty much sucks right now:blah:

As I continue to work, I will post a up afew shots as i come across them, hope you enjoy!

Cody was looking forward to riding withe th Akraix boys and had a blast as well. He is looking pretty good on the LTRand it has really helped him gain some confidence on the MX track

I feel terrible for him, he has been working on his conditioning non stop and then he suffers a fractured thumb just as we are set to go racing:ermm: I geuss when you lead an active lifestyle **** happens

He has a positive outlook however, and stated that he may not be able to do much for the rest of this season but he should be ready top rip for 2010

He had a total blast ripping it up with Derek. The last time they rode together, Cody was 11 and on a mini quad:p

If things get worked out, the Akraix crew could possibly be doing a FMX training seminar at one of BPG's Dream Camps next year. Cody says he will be hitting the ramp:p

Did cody fracture his thumb with that weight lifting incident or was this a new injury. How is that healing by the way. Looked pretty bad.

Yep, did it like 10 days ago. He couldnt race the GNCC saturday because we knew that 2 hours of abuse would have really been painfull and lengthened the time to heal.

The skin damage looks great, and some seat time on the MX track did not hurt it as we wrapped it up. We want to race the EDT race saturday but gotta see if funds allow for it:(

LOL.Austin doesn't get off the bus until 4:00.If I can get out of there a little early and have everything loaded up and ready to roll that would give us a couple hours.I will try.

[Pappy]

well dont push it on my account, would love to have a quiet track so cody can give you the info on how to clear that sucker lol

[dan harris]

Everything is done on the big track, I just have a few small adjustments to make. I also still need to turn the uphill ski jump into a tripple, I'll have that done tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you guys.

[wvspeedfreak]

It may happen.I'll see if I can dump all my work on the new guy :p

[Pappy]

I dont think i can keep cody from coming....:p Not sure what has him fired up be he wants to let it loose:D

[wvspeedfreak]

Austin has been the same way.It's all he has talked about all evening.

[dan harris]

Cody looked great riding the new track on Monday!!! I'm sure he's looking forward to checking out the 11 new jumps ! - I know I am!

[Pappy]

Dan-O...is it raining there? Been raining all day here.

Will be doing bike practice in the trees if its to wet to come up this evening

[MX MaNiAc 06]

I'm itching with excitement to see what the track is like!! I wish I wasn't so damn broke and busy so I could come ride it!!! hahaha I will make it soon enough but in the mean time I want to see pictures and videos!!!

[Pappy]

I havent heard back on the track conditions....usually its fine but hate to make the run if its yucky

[Pappy]

Drizzling all day is what Amanda just told me so it looks like today is out. Depending on when I get back from Tennessee we may try and get there on sunday

[dan harris]

It never rains at Breezewood. Light drizzle at times today. Everything is done. The uphill tripple is 100 feet !!! There is also a cool rhythm section next to it with three doubles and a table top. They call for great weather all weekend with temps in the 70's.

[Pappy]

Dang!!!!

[Redrider99]
