Works Enduro Rider


Last year, I teamed up with Drew Smith at Works Enduro Rider to get suspension help.  Drew Smith did all of my suspension throughout the year, and I helped run their website and facebook page.  One of the biggest changes we made to my suspension was adding a bladder kit to my rear shock and softening up the suspension as a whole for the rocks.  I made a lot of progress with different suspension settings and felt more comfortable on the bike.  This winter, I sent out another set of suspension for him to work his magic on so that now we have a set of fully done suspension for my race and practice bike! I am looking forward to another strong season with WER and I will also be using their Steering Dampner on my race bike. Stay tuned for more news, updates, and information on my most recent plans.

New Sponsor: Fly Racing

Last year, I never signed directly with a gear sponsor since Johnny Limp at Torc 1 Racing was able to get me AXO gear.  This year, I was going to go the same route but Dale Spangler from WPS and Fly Racing contacted me asking if I would like to become a part of the Fly program.  With Fly's large push in the off-road industry and their extensive support of riders, I felt it was an easy choice to make.  Over the years, I have learned that taking the opportunities to create strong relationships with my sponsors will benefit me in the long run.  I will be wearing the Fly race wear and their carbon helmet.  I am still figuring out which types I will race in but I like the Kinetic gear and the Andrew Short F2 Carbon Helmet.  I am looking forward to being a part of the FLY program and I hope to become one of the names on their long list of Amateur Support team riders next year.  Stay tuned for pictures of my gear and helmet!

New Sponsor: Hinson Clutch Components


I am excited to announce that Hinson Clutch Components has joined me for the upcoming year.  I will be using their clutch components in my bikes!  They make the best clutch parts on the market and have great akadized clutch covers.  Stay tuned for more exciting information as we get closer to the racing season!
