I'm not a big fan of professional sports because I'm usually too busy doing my own thing to care. One exception to this rule is motocross racing. This past weekend Avery and I were able to go to a Motocross Nationals race when the series came through Denver. We went with Scott Friedman, a good friend of mine, and four of his boys. It was a really cool father-son event.
We spent early part of the day in the pit area meeting some of the riders and watching their mechanics work on the bikes. We were suppose to leave the pits just before the races began but got in with some of #800 Mike Alessi's crew and were able to get VIP passes. We were so close to the track that we were getting sprayed with dirt as they went by. #7 James Stuart won as was expected but one of our favorite riders, Ryan Dungey ended up in the hospital.
It is amazing how fast these guys are and the talent they have for the sport. It is high risk with the possibility of broken bones on every jump. If you ever get the chance I would strongly suggest going to a Nationals Race. Even if you don't race it is a cool thing to watch!
