Hi Again, Its me. I'm fully back from the nether regions and have some fresh pictures of the Virginia BMX State Qualifier ready to post. I'm not in any of them since I'm NOT racing this year; this year I'm just in training for next years locals and State Series. I've been a little off my rocker lately as I've been abusing alcohol and finally stopped when my checking account said I only have $3.79 left. So that's a quick way to recovery - no money to buy booze. I've been having a blast hosting "netherregions" on yahoogroups.com and Its really picking up now with me and my friend littledog posting several times a day, along with being a member of SZ_AND_SZA, and PTSD. These are very open-hearted, caring individuals and we block out those that are "mean spirited" members. Anyhow, without further ado, I bring you some pics from the VA Qualifier that took place here in my hometown of Winchester just three weekends ago.
16-18 Experts on the move on the first straight over the step-up
16-18 Experts: leader showing some style over the double on the third straight with a big lead
James "Popeye" and Jason "Mr. Smooth" both bmx friends from way back in 1990's we go back a long ways and the man, Popeye has been racing since the early 70's in Hampton, VA. He's the oldest twenty-inch rider in the state right now at 45. Sure, we have older Cruiser riders, but he really kicks it on twenty even with his tuff wheel mag wheels.
This is Popeye leading the 45&over Cruiser Main... notice that smooth manualing style!
35&Over Novice/Expert Main Combined... Jason in second place making the move.
Well that's all the news that's fit to print. I had a heck of a time getting these pictures aligned along with the captions so I figure the best way to do it next time is to post pictures first then put the captions in and space them. It was a great weekend for racing and not too hot. Great turnout, great friends, and watching Popeye and Mr. Smooth gives me encouragement for next year when I have Medical Insurance Coverage and will race the 35-39 Cruiser Group.
Peace out all!
