i saw alot of jersey riders but dont have all the finishes.. dan had solid firsts both days in motos and most qualifiers but the best he could do was 3rd in the main behind wright from fla and larson from ca. they were the top 2 comp in the 17-24x class. it was nice for him not to have 1/4’s only 4 groups- so semis were enough in that heat. he did great in 16/over open taking 1st on sat and 2nd on sun( dont know how they cut the pot almost in half for sunday …but oh well)
gary transue was holding his own in 15x being he just moved up to x having a loaded class with at least 3 top 3 nat riders w/him made it hard for him to transfer. he is getting used to the move up and has been getting faster each race. luke fillapone was in the other moto and didnt transfer on sat either. his brother pj was out in front everytime i saw him but they didnt stay for sunday.
victor was riding fast i didnt see his main finish, he had a lot of the faster riders in his group as well.
the ghp group… see earlier post. they all looked great and seemed to be eating every time i saw them..( haha you guys need MORE food under that tent- craig you will never lose any wt sitting with that crowd…haha)
timmy sul had a stacked group and made an appearance in full race gear ( yea leathers….in that heat…looking real professional)there were a ton of fast guys in pro open this weekend.
jimmy mulhern was riding fast no upsets this weekend( crashes) had many 2nds in motos i think he was 4th in the main. didnt stay for sundays race.
chris koval was leading his moto mostly all weekend with 1sts everytime i watched him, he had the rhythm dialed which was no small feat for the little guys . i was told they were a little too deep for the younger set and it was hard to keep your flow without bobbling..( they were even deeper than that last week then someone filled them in after the nbl track builder left) that 2nd jump out of the 1st turn was a little hard for the smaller riders also as it threw you straight up and if you didnt jump it , it wasnt a nice landing at all… chris said you had to smack it and get right back on without losing a beat. he did fine with it keeping up his speed. there were some other jersey riders with him i forget who they were …sorry bout that.
farsides were on fire, taylor won and she looked real happy flying down the last straight ( so did mom!!)
there were more but i cant think of any for now. i have vid of 17-24x mains but i wish i can both days on the same video up on youtube. anyone know how to do that?
go on the njbmx forum and ask under the state series section.. i was told they would probably be up at flemington this weekend.
oops..thats ok gabe was still flying up in ct…
hey…watch it gabe…… you may be stepping on dans territory..haha
i saw him eyeing up the young ladies this weekend…lol..although he was looking good on the track so i dont doubt he turned some heads himself…
thats funny that you mention that dave …remember a few yrs back when the state teams were big…one of the prizes to the top team was a custom team banner..i think advantage used to make it…team name with sponsors logos on it..or it was like $200 towards a team banner. not a bad idea..i think the other prizes for end of the yr used to be a cooler, team tent ( ez up) etc. those were the days!!
it was a joke for cryan outloud….whatever floats your boat…. 🙄
ok if i can quit anyone can…i was the worst( now the worst reformed smoker)
we tried everything.. finally went to a hypnotist(individ) and 15 yrs later voila…. well not totally voila… had to lay off the beers ( hubby) its hard to not associate the drinking with the butts…there is some behavior modification thats involved( homework)
some tips
/ behav mod/ tricks…see what you think…no drinking your fav coctail/ bars…. if you normally drink beer switch to wine or scotch.. ( no kidding)
for those who are weaning off… no smoking w/alcohol..if you are in a bar you have go go outside to have a puff.. ifyou are driving you have to stop the car, get the pack out of the trunk , smoke it standing there at the side of the road like an idiot then procede on your journey.( its all about breaking association of habits), no coffee with your am cig,( the hardest one for me) i had to switch to hot tea and it killed me..
after you eat you do something busy with your hands… pref in water like dishes.. do the dishes for 5 mins..its that 1-3 min time period you assoc with having a cig after you eat. …after you eat do something physical. go for a walk…ride your bike for 15 mins… the urge will pass
increase your intake of fruit juice. esp drinking alot of orange juice.. the sugar in your bloodstream helps flush the nicotine out of your system faster( this is what the doc told us) also drink lots of water.
brush your teeth an extra time during the day. if you do it am and pm do it midday… just to reinforce that clean feeling.( as compared to the gross ashtry taste)
every night before bed we had to look in the mirror and say ” its great to be a non smoker”…dont ask its something to do with the hypnotist suggestions….
clean your house big time. shampoo rugs, curtains get that smell out of your house…. no smoking inside ( anyone) tuff shit its their decision to smoke in the rain not your problem ( for friends)
it gets easier after 72 hrs so stick with it…
day by day… take it 24 hrs at a time you can do it…also make a list of the positive things you get out of quitting..when you feel like having one read the list and add 1 more to it…
have your kids add to the list as well..
also set up a reward for 30 days…new cologne, perfume etc…. hummer whatever…lol
good luck!!
