MX Mesquite








We spent this last weekend in Mesquite, NV at the Wild West Mesquite Opener. It was a gorgeous weekend and we enjoyed soaking up the rays of sunshine. The kids both love that track and really did well. Kenadie got her first ever first place finish. She placed 2nd in both motos and was the overall winner. She finally decided to go fast and found how much fun it is to win. Carson raced two divisions, schoolboy and Junior, there were 60 entries in his Junior class, but he qualified for the main in his first heat race. During the main, you can see by the images that he again pulled a great start, but right as he was making the first turn, someone clipped his tire and sent him flying in the air. Luckily the bike came down on top of him so it protected him from the other riders. His throttle was wide open and his back tire did a number on his helmet until we could get the bike off of him. Luckily he bounced back up and was able to finish the race and still take 23rd out of 40 riders. Another race without a hospital trip. WooHoo!
