Good memories!

A good friend of mine Will Topete for years now sent me this photo from 06 Supercross. It brings back so many memories. I would stay at Ken Johnson’s house for years while racing the west coast series. There was a time at the end of the two stroke era where I was still riding a cr250 2 stroke! Man it sounds so good! I actually have this video from practicing on it out there. Sounds so sick! Then shortly after MC and I were both talking about the bike at track walk at one of the Anaheim rounds. Coincidentally we both showed up on 450s the next weekend and were laughing about it. The bike was fun to ride but was a disadvantage against the four strokes. Good times and memories. Thanks for the pic Will!

Texas Winter Series at Freestone

This past weekend I raced up at the Freestone. It was the last round of the Texas Winter Series. At the last minute I had my suspension done for outdoors. Come to find out sunday morning, it felt a bit firm… I called up the Junk Man and he said they didnt have the springs they needed for my suspension. So I just had to run it. Well…. I was a pussy, shit was so stiff I couldnt hang on more than 3-4 laps! Definitely looking forward to getting it corrected! Keith Demele over at TxMotocross took some great photos of the event. Check em out there is a few of me in there!

Missing Knobbys

Riding supercross you wouldn’t think would eat up tires so bad. But I sure am missing some knobbys! Feels like ice skating on the rear wheel!

Monster Energy Supercross

Went out today to test my bike a bit before the Monster Energy Supercross series starts this weekend. The track was built by Vernon Mckiddie, he will be racing the East Coast Lites class. Thanks to the Drennan family for letting him build a track for us local pros to be able to ride in Houston! Well be getting some more photos and video of the track soon. It was a good day of riding with a bunch of guys. Vernon Mckiddie, Kelly Smith, Kevin Johnson, and a couple other local guys too. Looking forward to riding tomorrow! It was nice to get some riding time in with the wet weather. We’ll post some more stuff up soon!

Houston Supercross

Clayton Miller — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 15:25:51 +0000

Houston didn’t work out like I expected. I rode the best I could for the preparation going in to these couple of races. A lot of stuff has gone down the past 2 years with personal family life. And its hard to deal with the kind of stuff that we have been through. That’s all behind and were moving forward. You think as an athlete that you still have what you had the day before. And when ever faced with any problems that interfere with your regimen makes it hard to get on track. I’m by far not finished with progressing forward with myself as an athlete, and personal aspirations. I never thought it would be so difficult to manage so many things in life with marriage and kids, (family illness, and death of a loved one) along with your passions and responsibilities. If there is any one I have for motivation, it would be my father. He’s the baddest dude I know. He can run 3 different enterprises, and be everywhere at once and do it day after day. While at the same time having cancer come up in the past 2 years, and having 2 surgery’s. He’s right back at it again like he never missed a beat. If there is anything I could ever do it would be able to follow in his foot steps, if I can follow the length in his stride. Love you dad!

With my wife, family, and friends I wouldn’t be who I am today. Houston still had some good times. And my buddy Fulton made a short appearance to put a smile on our face! I like my wife’s facial expression in the pic with fulton! Ty, Mel, and Dahlstrom are just watching the infamous Fulton. Gotta love em!
Thanks Darkside for Mechanic’n for me!
