FAST THOUGHTS FROM JESSICA LEE


Saturday October 20th, 2007
FMX Update
After the grueling FMX prelims on Thursday the top 10 riders were chosen to compete in tonight’s finals. I was surprised to see that a couple of my favorite riders like Ronnie Faisst and Ronnie Renner didn’t make it onto that awe-inspiring list. All of the guys who are either on it or just quite didn’t make it are all incredible riders. Each one can ride like we only dream about.



That’s one thing that has always puzzled me; how comfortable FMX riders are upside down. I don’t understand it now and probably never will unless I were to try it for myself. I don’t think I’ll be doing a back flip on my motocross bike anytime soon! I’ll leave it to the pros.



Right now it looks like its going to rain and the forecast calls for a 70% chance so hopefully FMX will run tonight at 7:30 like the schedule says. There are tarps on the BMX dirt course right now but I’m not positve if theres the same on the FMX ramps. When the first sprinkle drops normally the FMX course will close because it’s just to dangerous. We definitly don’t want to see all the riders miss a jump because of a slippery ramp!

I’ll keep you guys updated as the day goes on!
