The Mains............

There's big daddy waiting to see off Stinky boy. He'll go the rest of the way up the gate by himself. He's trained and he's practiced. We as parents have done all that we can do. Now it's all up to him!!!

Here's the finish line................

And here he is with his Grand National Trophy!!!

This is truly a once in a lifetime moment. Stinky has a Grand National Trophy!!!! That is so huge!!! This means he was the BEST in his Age and Class. The best 8 year old novice in the US!!!

This was stinky boy's 8 th win. From here it's a whole in new class (intermediate) and more aggressive riders. See you only have 8 wins and you move from novice to intermediate. And you need 26 wins to move from intermediate to expert. You can NEVER go back. As you go up in class, each one has more riders and they have more skills and more experience. It's very hard. As you all know his birthday is coming soon and that's another age group jump. At the first of the year he will be riding with 9 year old I's(intermediate). Poor little guy is going to have it ruff for awhile. But that's ok he's having a blast and in time his skills and experience will develop. And he's got an 8 Year Old Novice First Place Grand National Trophy!!!

Tulsa Zoo

While waiting for the races to begin we decided to go to the Tulsa Zoo!!!

In the Beginning...........

It all started with alot of DIRT!!!!

I could not describe the magnitude of how big this track really was.

It was one of those "had to be there".

WOW!!! I mean WOW!!!

The starting gate had an elven foot drop!!!!

The rhythm section was insane!!!

My sweet little boy was going to be on this track with other boys going as fast as their legs could pedal. Oh NO!!! Are you serious? Really I mean.......Come on!!!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving Everyone!!!
