BLAKE ATTENDS THE CHASE BORDERS BENEFIT MX SCHOOL

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Chase Borders Benefit MX School Blake and friends attended the Chase Borders Benefit MX School at CAMP MX. Clear skies and a great track was waiting for all the students and instructors. Adam worked hard to keep the track in top shape and the instructors made the most of it! Blake learned a lot, from off-camber turning to fast starts, and had a lot of fun. Hunter Hart, a friend of Blakes, was there and both of the riders were hitting an uphill double hard all weekend.

Blake jumping an uphill double @ CAMP MX Blake is looking forward to putting all he’s learned into action at his next race. None of this would be possible without support from his sponsors:

BLAKE WINS 3 HOLESHOTS, 2ND PLACE, 2ND PLACE, & 3RD PLACE @ CROSSBONE MX RANCH

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Blake with 2nd, 2nd, & 3rd place plaques from Crossbone MX The heat index hit 111 but Troy @ Crossbone MX kept the motos moving quick. Blake arrived Friday evening and enjoyed some practice laps on his 65 and then his KLX 110, with a new UNI high-flow air filter for more power. Blake rode until the sprinklers came on and then rode some more.

As race day rolled around, the track looked great. Blake raced in the Open 4-Stroke class first and got a great start and fought hard against several bikes, two of bigger engine sizes, to finish 3rd. In the 2nd moto, Blake won the holeshot and held on to 2nd place, fending off two riders on 125cc bikes, to finish in 2nd place and won 2nd place overall.

Blake & Dad at Crossbone MX Ranch Next, Blake raced in the 65cc 7-9 class and got a great start jumping out quick and locked down the 3rd place position to finish 3rd in the first moto. In the 2nd moto Blake had a great race and finished 4th. Blake jumped a double and a huge tabletop all day! He finished 3rd overall in the 65cc 7-9 class, his best finish yet on his KX65!

The last class Blake raced was the Small 4-Stroke class. Blake won the holeshot and jumped out front early to win 1st place in the first moto, though a new competitor, Hunter Hart, nipped at Blake’s heals the whole race and made it really exciting to watch. They started the 2nd moto early and Blake didn’t have time to get to the gate in time so he actually started the 2nd moto late and the rest of the field got a significant jump on him. Even with that, Blake rode hard to finish 2nd and even lapped another rider before finishing 2nd overall in the Small 4-Stroke class.

Blake is really lucky to have some great sponsors that support his racing. Please visit their sites and buy some stuff from them:

BLAKE WINS 2 HOLESHOTS, 1ST PLACE, 3RD PLACE, & 6TH PLACE AT NOAH’S MX PARK

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Blake: What mud? The rain and mud couldn’t slow “The Snake” down at Noah’s Moto Park! The race team arrived on Friday night and it was clear that Noah and his crew had been working hard on the track, it looked great! We awoke Saturday morning and hit the track with one of Blake’s friends, Tab Beverly. Tab and Blake threw down some great laps, railed some turns, and pretty much worked over the track until an unexpected rain storm moved in that prevented the rest of the day’s practice.

Blake and friend, Tab Beverly When raceday rolled around the rain provided the right kind of moisture and the track looked great. Blake began the day with the 65cc 7-9 moto. Eleven bikes lined up at the gate next to Blake, but he stayed confident and got a great start. Blake left the gate in 5th and held that position the majority of the race until passed on the last lap by his friend Alex Collins. Blake and his other friend Cody Farr fought over the 6th position the entire race. Blake jumped an uphill double bigger than he ever has and was really railing turns perfectly. Blake had a great race on his Kawasaki Monster Energy KX 65 and can’t wait to race it again. Blake finished 6th overall in the 65cc 7-9 class.

Blake & Grandpa with 1st & 3rd trophies @ Noah's MX Blake’s next race was the Small 4-Stroke Class where he raced his KLX 110. Blake and his friend Tab Beverly raced four other riders in a great race. Blake won the holeshot and never looked back. He checked out from the rest of the field and got faster each lap. Blake finished with another first place podium and continued his domination of this class with another 1st place overall!

Right before Blake’s last race, the Open 4-Stroke class, a surprise thunderstorm rolled in and dumped tons of water on the track. This made for extremely muddy conditions. Blake has ridden in conditions like that before, so he wasn’t concerned in the least. When the gate dropped he jumped out front quick to win the holeshot but wrecked in a huge hole hidden by a lot of water in the track. He got back on his bike and fought to finish 3rd. He and his friend Cody Farr fought for the 3rd place spot and all the riders in that class showed a lot of talent and ability to make a race out of those conditions. It reminded a lot of spectators of the AMA Daytona race that ran in the rain and mud. These amatuer riders rode as well as the pros did! Blake finished 3rd place overall in the Open 4-Stroke class.

It would be impossible for Blake to maintain two race bikes, an rv/toyhauler, and make all the races and fees without the generous support of his sponsors. Please visit their sites and buy some stuff from them:

BLAKE WINS 3 HOLESHOTS, 1ST PLACE, & TWO 4TH PLACES AT CAMP MX

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

CAMP MXThe weather was clear, the new CAMP MX track was prepped, and Blake and his dad were ready to put what they’d learned at the Faith Racers MX camp to the test. Blake adjusted to the track’s natural elevation changes and found his groove quick. He was railing turns and began jumping a good sized uphill double.

On Sunday, Blake was ready to shift into race mode and it showed in the first moto of the Small 4-Stroke class. He jumped out of the gate winning the holeshot and never looked back. He enjoyed a substantial lead over 2nd place to finish 1st and duplicated the same results in the 2nd moto to finish 1st place overall!

Next, Blake raced his 65cc Kawasaki Monster in the 65cc 7-9 class and had his best race yet on that bike in the first moto! He got a great start and finished 3rd. Then, in the 2nd moto he fought hard to finish 4th securing the 4th place overall podium. This is Blake’s best finish yet on his 65! He’s progressing fast considering he’s only been riding this bike since February.

Blake then raced in the Open 4-Stroke class and won the holeshot in the first moto and checked out on the rest of the field to win 1st place. In the 2nd moto, Blake overtook the leader within the first lap to lead the remainder of the race until a crash slowed him down and he finished 4th. He earned the 4th podium spot, but really showed some great racing abilities in both motos.
