Mammoth MX Warm Up
Did a local MX race at Glen Helen as a warm up for Mammoth MX. My performance was marred by a first lap crash. Missed my 2nd moto because I had to leave for Amber & Dean's wedding. Still, they ran the National track and any day motocrossing is a good day .
Wedding Season
Ironically, the year of our own wedding has seen many of our friend's weddings too! It's been fun to see how other people have done their wedding's compared to what we have planned.
Dean and Amber Nissen got married at Tivoli Too in Laguna Canyon. Afternoon ceremony followed by a great reception party. They hand picked all the music the DJ played, and I have to say by far the best wedding music I've ever heard. We had an awesome time and they're a terrific couple.
Amber & Dean's pride-and-joy Sterling. I guess now Amber cut his hair into a mohawk.
Doesn't the minister look like Bill O'Reilly?
Tatiana looked stunning!
Next was Tati's neighbors from Long Beach days, Val and Brian. Funny, everyone thought they were already married. They are a lovely couple and are truly in love. So nice to see and feel.

Glen Helen AMA Pro National MX 2008
This weekend marked the kick-off of the Pro National MX series. We have a tradition of riding Saturday morning, then camping out and watching the pros race on Sunday. Good times.
Racetown was in excellent condition on Saturday. Rain the day before and unseasonably cool temps kept the track loamy all day. Here I do my best to look fast for Mick's camera.
This year we got a premium spot for Mick's trailer. "Penthouse" view for the Nationals on Sunday.
HUGE step up jump. They make it look so easy. It is not.

Monkey Crow
You ask Monkey Crow? An A-frame in the woods, grown men on mini bikes, single track, lunch at Haywards Outback? I'm in!
The trail takes on a whole new perspective from the seat of a bike built for a child.
Grow up boys.
If you look closely you can see Lake Isabella in the background. (Click to enlarge)
We took those little bikes through some pretty tough terrain.
Hayward's Outback.
Here's Hayward himself. Through difficult negotiations with the Forest Service, Hayward built this mountain oasis by tearing down and rebuilding old mining cabins that the Forest Service was going to dispose of. He served up cold beers and then made us burgers and dogs. We were blown away by his hospitality. "When they built you brother they broke the mold."
Great ride, great group of dudes, good times. When will the Monkey Crow again?
