It's getting closer to the start of the season and things are almost all sorted out. All sponsors sorted, team arrangements and plans pretty much sorted. Ill be back at all the MTB world cups of course, but 4X only this year, as much as I love DH, with the scheduling changes at the races, as well as the competition getting faster every year, you really have to pick an event to concentrate on, otherwise you are selling yourself short at both, I had a great year for 4X last year, but it could be better!

So my 3 and a half week trip to The US and A is up, so I'll do a quick rundown of how it all went. After hanging out with Clay Porter is So Cal for a few days we (Sam Willoughby and myself) flew to the first of the races for the new US natioanl ABA season, I had been training pretty good, but hadn't raced any BMX at all in about 15 months since the olympics, so I really didn't know what to expect.

Hanging out in so cal, Ventura to be exact, at the very VERY Buff looking Clay Porters house. He's currently doing pushups behind me with his Ipod cranking. For anyone who knows Clay, it is a special sight! So Im here with my favourite Squid Sam Willoughby, and were Getting ready for the first 2 ABA BMX nationals, Reno this Weekend, and Guthrie, 2 weeks after that.

So after a good 5 weeks of doing not much after the last MTB world cup, I got back into training again at the end of October. Im all set for a busy January of BMX races. Heading to the US with my boy Sam Willoughby for some of their UCI rounds (reno on Guthrie to be exact). Wish I could stay longer and do some more, but the MTB season will start up again in what will seem like no time! Super pumped up for these in January though, can't wait! It's been about 15 months since I've raced all the big boys of BMX, and been a couple years since I've raced BMX in the US, so it will be cool!

For some reason I feel I should update whats going on. Had a few cool things going on, new Monster contract is sorted out, also a few things for 2010, so its been interesting, but nothing new to report, same sponsors at this time.
