I'm gonna just post his videos in this one thread from now on, so I don't clutter up the forum with multiple threads.

Here is the helmet cam video of Bradens last SX race. He allowed himself to be pushed out on the holeshot and let his nemesis on the DRR in front of him and wasn't able to get the lead back, but he made a last second push at the finish line and came very close to snatching first place. I still can't get him to down shift coming into the turns. lol.

Here's Braden coaching up his sister before her first race ever.

Our next race is on the 17th for the local AMA District 13 MX race. Braden is currently in first place and this will be Shelbys first 50cc race, so it should be an exciting day for us.

Here are the 90cc points standings right now.

All of our races down here in NC were cancelled due to rain, so we decided to drive up to Breezewood Proving Grounds in PA to hit up there outlaw race. On our way there we had a caliper lock up on the motorhome, so we were late getting to the track. we got there 20 mins before the first moto started, so the kids didn't get any practice in, and we have never been there before, so we were a little nervous. but it all turned out great and we had a lot of fun. Braden got 2nd in the 90-125cc class and Shelby got 5th in the 50-70cc class.

Here is Bradens helmet cam video.

We finally had some great weather on a race weekend this past weekend. The bikes ran well and the kids had a blast. This was the first race on the +3 A arms and they def seemed to make Braden more comfortable. even though they are not long travel, he said the seemed to absorb landings better too.
Braden ended up coming in 2nd out of 4 kids in his class. Not too bad for having the least amount of HP in his class.

Here is a video of moto 1 I shot from my phone.

Braden had another great weekend of racing. The weather was absolutely perfect, and the track was great. It's a very sandy track, so it gets pretty deep ruts in the tight turns,but he was able to make it through every one of them. He was riding even better this week than last week shifting more before the turns and leaning his little butt off through them. lol he ended up coming in 3rd in the first moto as along with the one boy that usually beats him, another very fast kid drove down all the way from Allentown PA to race this weekend. But in moto 2 Dylan, the boy that usually wins had the CVT rear its ugly head and caused him a DNF. The CVT is the biggest reason we don't race them. even when you maintain them regularly, they are still prone to failure. The Raptor may not be as fast, but they sure seem much less labor intensive. So Braden ended up finishing 2nd in moto 2, and 2nd over all.

Got the new motor from Jason at Precision Motorworx installed last week and were able to make it to SX on Saturday night to find out if the added power was enough to get in front of the 2 strokes.
It took Braden the practice session and then some to get used to the new power. He was holding back in moto 1 after clearing a jump he couldn't in the past and thought he was gonna go over the handlebars, but I told him landing on the back side down hill is where you are supposed to land. lol
He got the holeshot in moto 1 and was able to hold on to it for the win, but he was getting a lot of pressure from his nemesis on the DRR. But in moto 2 you could tell Braden was opening it up some more. He left the gate in moto 2 riding out a sweet wheelie and and kept putting more and more distance between himself and the rest of the racers. The one kid racing schoolboy class on the 250 that raced with them wasn't too far ahead of Braden either at the end of the 8 lap race.
Over all we are very happy with the driveability and extra power from the PMW engine package and can't wait to see how it fares at the next district race on the bigger MX tracks where he can open it up some more.

Here are a bunch of videos and pictures from Saturday night.

Haven't updated in a while, been so many races we haven't had a chance to catch our breath. We had a very wet race and got 2nd overall, then were battling for 3rd at another race at Actiontown and had a rod bearing seize with one lap to go in moto 2. So needless to say, we have been busy.
Last week we swapped the practice bikes bottom end into the race bike with PMW's race ported head. The rings on the 11-1 Wiseco piston must have failed though, as we were fouling plugs with oil all day, but Braden still rode his butt off and finished 2nd in both motos. There are more and more 2 fast 2 stroke set ups coming to the races, so we are still under powered, but Baden is making up for it with his riding. He was 5th going into the first turn of the holeshot, and worked his way to second in less than a half of a lap.
We should have the 13-1 piston set up back in for the race at Budds Creek this weekend. Jason at PMW has been a huge help. We wouldn't have made all these races without him.

Here is the video from my phone of Moto 2, 2 weeks ago before the rod bearing gave up..

Braden tried to catch his nemesis on the Cobra and Holeshotted him, but couldn't hold him off or get back around him. Hopefully a gear change this week will help him stay out front next weekend.

We had an action packed day of racing yesterday at Northcarolina Motorsportspark. Braden needed to beat Dylan Payne on the yellow Cobra in these videos in at least one of the 2 motos to clinch the 2013 class championship since Braden is gonna miss the last race of the season.
So the pressure was on and he rose to the occasion. Jason at Precision Motorworx and I made a few minor changes this week to Bradens quad to help him keep pace, and they seemed to help tremendously. Braden made a few mistakes but was able to overcome them and make up time by riding his butt off!
Moto 1 Braden had a bad holeshot, but was able to weave through traffic and catch Dylan within a lap. Braden and Dylan went back and forth until the last lap when Braden got a little out of rhythm and almost went over the bars, allowing Dylan to take the checkered flag first.
Then in moto 2 they were back at it passing each other multiple times until the last lap when Braden was in the lead and Dylan spun out trying to keep pace with Braden on a tight turn. Braden was able to finish the lap for the 2nd place overall finish on the day, and secure enough points for the championship.
It was a very intense day and we are super proud of how far Braden has come as a racer this year. Can't wait to see what next year brings with him and getting Shelby ready to make a run too!
Big thanks to all of our friends, family, and sponsors that helped us have such a fun and successful year!
Here are the 2 helmet cam videos and 2 phone videos of the motos. In the phone video of moto 1 I kind of lose it a little and cuss on camera when Braden almost wrecked. So be warned if you watch at work. lol

Haven't made an update in a while, but we have raced the first 2 ATV National races in GA and TN and done alright. Braden def had to get used to the competition level going from local races to the Nationals. The Raptors def seem a little under powered compared to the modified Hondas in the 4 stroke 125 class, but Jason at PMW is working on that for us right now.

The first National in GA Braden got 8th place overall out of 11 or 12 kids. We aren't able to make it there to practice on Fridays, so he doesn't really get comfortable with the track until the 2nd motos on Sunday. Hopefully we can get to the High Point race to practice on Friday this time.

Here are a couple videos from GA.

We also ran the 4 stroke in the 90 shifter class since out Yamazuki (RM85/Raptor 125) wasn't done yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x-H_afyGaE

Had a close call with a downed rider in the shifter class too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-QG5ZFpkgU

Then we went to TN for round 2 and got 8th and 5th for a 6th overall out of 9 kids. Still didn't get there in time to practice on friday.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNm2tUrBqvA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw9pApoTELc

We also got to try out the Yamazuki for the first time here in the shifter class. Braden obviously wasn't comfortable on it yet, but at least it got broken in well and made it through the weekend.

Braden didn't have his best weekend of racing in the D13 race last weekend at South Fork Competition Park, but he still came away with a 4th overall in 90 production and 90 mod. He was not in the right gear coming out of turns, and not upshifting as often as he should have, but after some video coaching this week, hopefully he can improve for the next race at High point next weekend.

Here is the helmet cam video from moto 2 of production.

Got back from the National ATVMX race in PA at High Point MX last night. He keeps getting a little better each race. Ended up with a 5th overall with a couple of 5th place finishes in the 4 stroke 125 class. He had some shifting issues in one specific turn, but nowhere else, so I think it was just something he was doing. I rode it around afterwards and it seemed fine.

He still isn't riding the Yamazuki mod Raptor to it's potential, but he's getting better. He was 14th out of 16 in moto 1 and was running in 10th place in moto 2 before he got knocked off the quad by another kid hitting him on a jump. He got right back up and finished the race, but still only finished 14th. This was only his 3rd race on it, so it should get better. His best lap time on the 4 stroke was a 2:06 and his best on the 2 stroke was a 2:12, and it should be the other way around as the 2 stroke is much faster.

Next race is a local District race in 2 weeks. Can't wait!

Had our best weekend yet at the Briarcliff National last weekend. Braden got 4th in each moto of the 4 stroke 125 class for a 4th place overall. That is his best finish yet, and be was the fastest Raptor in the class. Now we have to figure out how to catch those Hondas. Lol

Here is the helmet video of the first lap of moto 1.

He is also getting better on the mod raptor with the RM motor on it. He got 11th in each moto out of 18 kids for a 9th place overall.

Braden had an awesome weekend at Budds creek for the D13 race last weekend. He ended up getting first overall in each of his classes. This is Moto 1 of the 90 Production class on his 4 stroke. His chain came off on the first lap when he was in 2nd place, and he was still able to work his way all the way back to 2nd before the race was over even after being sidelined for a couple minutes before they got his chain back on. This is the whole race from the helmet cam, so it's kind of long, but it gives you the whole perspective for how hard he rode to catch back up. Super proud of him for fighting through the adversity of the chain and having to run both his classes back to back twice within about an hours time.

Here is the first lap of his moto 2 on the Yamazuki mod raptor. He ended up winning this class also.

Braden had to make his first trip to the ER from racing at Unadilla. Luckily it was just for a few stitches. He was approaching a 40' gap jump when the kid in front of him slammed on the brakes and slid sideways on the face of the jump. Braden had to let off a bit to avoid him and made him come up short on the jump.

He raced mot 2 the next day, but he def was taking it easy. We went to dream camp for the rest of the week and he shook the cobwebs out and was back to riding harder than ever by Friday. We were very fortunate that a few stitches were the only injury.

Here is the wreck and a couple stills.

Haven't posted in a while, so this is gonna be a big one. lol

After Unadilla we went straight to Dream camp, which I was worried about since he just had the worst wreck in his life. But it ended up being the best thing to happen. It got him right back on the bike and had all the pros there to build his confidence back up. The Dream camp at Breezewood Proving Grounds was priceless. He got so much seat time and training in 5 days that you can't get anywhere else, and it came from the pros, not his dumb dad that doesn't know anything. lol

Here are some pics.

Then we went to Loretta Lynns for the Final ATVMX race. The first moto for 4 stroke 125 class was a muc fest and Braden did decent with a 4th place finish, then moto 2 the next day was much dryer and he ended up finishing 3rd, but it was enough to give him the overall win which shocked us all. It was an amazing feeling. Our first year in the Nationals and he wins his first overall at LL none the less. Needless to say, we were all pretty excited.

Here is video from Moto 2 of 125 class

The 90 shifter Jr. class was a little tougher, still need some more seat time on the 2 stroke, but ended up 12th overall I believe.

We came back for some District 13 racing at ECMX and won the 90 Mod class on the Yamazuki with a 1-1 finish and got 3rd overall in Production 90 on the 4 stroke. Def getting a little quicker on the mod.

Next we raced D13 at Southfork, which has a set of 3 triples in a row that most of the youth quads only double. His friend Corey decided to try tripling them to make the pass. It didn't work out so well. Again he was alright, but it was a close call. Braden ended up getting 3rd in each class.

Then we went back to ECMX last weekend for another D13 Race. Braden won Moto 1 of Mod, then had a bad start in Moto 2 and only finished 3rd, for a 2nd overall. In Production he was in 3rd place in Moto 1 but his frame broke where it goes up to the steering stem. He finished 3rd still in moto 1, but just rolled 2 laps in moto 2 to get whatever points he could. He probably finished 6th overall in that class.
