Surprising..

  So, I was curious about this.. and for those of you who actually KNOW me, you know when I'm curious.. I satisfy my curiosity. I asked Jeff Alessi (801) If he ever has those days that he wishes that he was normal and not famous. His answer kind of surprised me. He said; "I would say fame is just being watched, I'm watched by so many kids and parents and I want to be a good example for them, so I would say the only time I don't like all the fame, is when I'm doing stupid things that make me look like someone I'm not but aside from that I love going to dinner and having some lil kid ask for an autograph, I like making my fans happy"
    To be honest, out of all the Professional Riders that I have had the opportunity to talk to.. Jeff Alessi seems to have his head on straight and know that he is in front of the spotlight and that he is in fact a role model. He isn't like some of the riders who turn away a fan when they ask for an autograph. That is really sweet.
 And with that being said, I must say Thank You.. Mister Alessi, For being a more than Ideal role model.

For the most part...

  Determination. To be a true MX racer, you must have determination. People who do MX are truly a breed apart from everyone else, not to mention their support system they have behind them. They're significant as well. I have known too many people who have given up because they have gotten injured in a race, and it wasn't a massive injury.

  I give mad props to everyone who has ever sustained an injury and continued racing. I respect the people who crash, break bones, but yet keep on racing just because they want first. That right there is a determined individual, dumb because it may get worse.. but determined! 

  As for the support system behind the rider whether it be a trainer, family, and/or team.. I salute you. From helping prepare for a race,  The trash talk at the track, and to the aftermath of a races results you always stick by their side. That is amazing. 

  To the MX girlfriends, you have some of the highest respect from me as a person in general. I know being the girlfriend of an MX racer is a hard job. Sometimes you get labeled as a moto ho. Maybe it's because you're absolutely gorgeous and people are jealous, or maybe it is because you're dating or married to one of the best riders. What ever the case may be, to take the shit that you get.. from riders and jealous whores, is pretty commendable. *Salutes* Not to mention  the actual harlots that are trying to take your man. Now that is a hard thing to handle. I would know, I've had it happen to me and he actually left me for her, but oh well! Enough of my SOB story. MX girlfriends, you rock!

  For the girls who race, you deal with some tough shit.. not going to lie. There aren't too many girls who are capable of doing what you do. Motocross isn't a team sport! You have to deal all on your own. Sometimes it can get tough. Criticism from other riders, male or female, can either make you or break you. In some cases it does both, by which I mean you break down so much that it motivates you to a point that you keep on going until you're the best or the best you can be. 

  The same goes for guys. And I apologize that This post is all over the place.. I just have a lot going on in my mind between finding a date for my aunts wedding to getting ready for vacation that when something pops into my head I write it down. 

  Going back to where I was, to all the racers out there, your passion, dedication and your true ability of what you are or aren't able to do on a bike.. THAT is what makes you, you. Don't ever forget that. That my friends, is why you have my respect.

-Braaaapp!

Does a rose by any other name smell as sweet? A rose by any other name is still a rose...

   So why do girls at the track get the rep of so called "moto hoes"? I mean, haha Yes!!! Some of them dress a little more.. provacative than some of the other girls..but still! Maybe they just love Motocross!?
   Okay.. okay.. Maybe they just want attention, and okay.. maybe they just want to um.. "ride" (pun intended) every guy that rides as well!
   Anyway.. All I'm asking is that no matter how dumb they are, no matter how little they actually know about MX, and no matter how skanky they look.. please be nice to them! Haha.
   Just a word of advice, a simple "don't judge a book by its cover" type story.. I don't know.. maybe one day it'll be your wife!
