Motocross with my boy

Being the good race mom I am I escorted Drake to ride his dirtbike. We were cruising down the road listening to some horrible music booming in his truck. I went along with it and then on the ride home I put my music on.. He was thrilled. My baby boy jumping a not so big jump.. it still scares me everytime he jumps.

He was tweaking his bike a bit..

His new helmet and goggles to save his noggin.

Austin was sporting a new "press on" tattoo.

Drake got roosted by Egan.. That's when dirt, roots, rocks and other junk come up and hit you. His lip was bleeding too.

The boys were practicing their starts. Drake has trouble in every race with his start.

Egan threw his goggles on my head. nice.

Another jump..weeeeeee

Drake watching the boys. I think someone went down for a dirt sample.

Here he is about 20 feet in the air. It doesn't look like it but it's a big jump.

I love motocross.. If I could I would build a big track and live there taking pictures. If you want to view more.. go to my website. http://www.gearboxphotos.com/

Practice Day

Dirty neck..

The boys taking a break.

Dirty..dirt...Filth...Dirt..

And when the boys take control of photographing the practice. I get crotch shots. NICE boys.. NICE... and boots

Dirt + Bikes = MOTOCROSS

April 10, 2011 we arrived at 6:30 in the morning to find the parking lot like this...

The bike started out like this.. Clean as a whistle. That didn't last long.
This is a group of Drake's racing friends. watching the mud fest unfold. This is what it looks like to be BEHIND... there was no jumping during the first races. The mission was to keep your bike upright and on the track..and pack on the tear offs. (the plastic film that goes on your goggles. You tear them off when they get dirty)
Drake's first round. Sloooopppppy
Drake and Dad before second round.

And he got a jump in. Things are looking up.

And my baby taking first place. Way to go Drake.
This is another kid left behind the mud roost.


And by boy..1st place trophy and mud in his teeth. Great job!!!And this is my life .. a race mom.. photographer and manager.
