What can I say, GoPro has done it again. With the release of the HERO2, they have once again proven they are the wearable camera to have. GoPro has stepped up the game, with improved image quality, better low light capabilities, more megapixels, improved fields of view, and up to 120 frames per second for ultra butter slow motion. Stay tuned for a side by side video comparison, but for now check out some of the quality footage the HD HERO2 produces.

As 2011 winds up and we look forward to 2012, I thought I would share some of my observations of 2011. Like any year, we have had highs and lows. Motocross isn’t a cheap sport to be involved in. Motocross is down in attendance, no two ways about it. Tracks are feeling the crunch, race promoters are struggling, track owners are hurting, and shops are barely afloat. Even Norcalmotocross.com is way down and it costs nothing for people to use it. Why would you want to spend any time on a Motocross website, when you are not riding or racing? Motocross is down to its core, the people riding these days are the nucleus of the sport. Is 2012 the year of rebirth for our sport? Maybe, maybe not, the global economy still seems to be struggling, Motocross is still going to be a luxury that many people simply can’t afford so I am leaning towards the notion that Motocross, although it won’t grow much, isn’t going to shrink much either. Like I said the people that are riding now are the nucleus of the sport. They will keep a light on for everyone and look forward to the return of friends and family who were not able to ride much in 2011. … Continue Reading
You finished up the outdoor season back at Pala, how do you feel your season went?
It went good, I definitely had a lot of issues with the one lap fast kind of thing, at Pala I was having some good laps, I ran into a some little problems in my second qualifier but, I am going to keep working on it for next year. Getting the one lap fast and just going from there.
Did you do as well as you expected overall for the year?
No, I honestly came into Hangtown with my expectations a lot higher, I trained a lot before coming into Hangtown and the lap times weren’t there. I was 42nd, 43rd at Hangtown and not where I wanted to be.
Were you surprised at how fast the rest of the field of was?
I was, I was surprised at that and how everything played a factor, not getting out in front, riding behind people who didn’t jump anything, that was a big factor in not making it into the main and the pace was higher than I expected.
