Sean and his buddy Spencer raced at the Kory Cook Benefit in Bellflower on Saturday. Sean 2nd Spencer 3rd in the 9 Novice class. Racing in an age group 1 year older, Sean just didn't quite have the leg speed to catch the 1st place rider. After the first round, he came in saying "that kid looks like a 10 year old". I must admit he did. Sean was right there until about 3/4 down the first straight and stayed a bike length behind the remainder. He has a really strong gate and just needs consistent races to build up his pedal speed or cadence. It was cool to watch Spensor at his first race, overcoming the jitters, etc. I finally got out on the track as well on my 24". First time ever on a BMX track. Didn't race, just practiced. It was great fun chasing Sean and a pretty good workout as well. Something that I recommend all parents do, especially if your kids are in sports that you never participated in. Jump in! For those of us that are competitive and sometimes critical, It will give you a renewed appreciation. Especially when you have to work overtime to catch the little man : )>. Today we are going to the beach.....skim boarding..hmmm - I think I will just hold my toungue.
