My first big snow
This was the first time I had seen so much snow. It was also the first time i had ever been on a four wheeler in the snow. The snow was twenty two inches deep. It came up to my knees. The only part is, it was Christmas Eve. I was stuck on one side of town and I needed to be on the other. My grandpa came and got us in his truck because our car was snowed in. -
I started BMXing
Believe it or not I started ramping on a 16' wheel bike. But the worst part about it I started ramping on a hot wheel car. I started that day trying to smash it, I ran it over and got about a half inch of air off of it. So I tried to get higher and higher. And I did get higher. Over time i became the best at BMX in my neighborhood. The bigges rampt to this day that I have jumped was a 15 foot step-up, at the peak i was about six feet off the ground. I was so scared but I landed it! -

i drove a racecar for the first time.
On this day I drove my cousins racecar. It was a Dodge Neon at one time but you couldn't tell that today. The car has been through a lot and that includes the time I hit the wall. That also includes my cousin turning Boonville County Fair (Boonvages) into a demo. I didn't race this day but I wheelpacked the track. Wheel packing is where the cars in the pits go out on the track, drive around, and dry out the track. -
