Well, we got there on Saturday at about lunchtime. We practiced a bit and got all the jumps dialed in. Then we had a briefing to decide what heat we would race in. I got stuck in group B, which was undoubtedly the harder of the 2 groups. Went back to hotel for a swim & then for dinner at a seafood restaurant that served the biggest damn orange juices I've ever seen. The cups were about a foot high
We woke up early the next day and had Macdonalds for breakfast, the breakfast of champions. We then had a quick practice & got prepped up for the race. I wasnt really paying attention to the Group A race, so I can't really report on that. I was pretty nervous about my race, as qualifying would be tough. I holeshotted of course, since I'm riding a yamaha, and lead for about 2 laps. Chandran (#2) & Mike tyson (amirule#19) got passed me and then I crashed while coming third. I got back started again at about eighth & quickly passed two riders. luckily for
me, richard (#21)crashed on the last lap and I got up to 5th. To qualify for the final, you have to finish in the top 5. Heat 2 was de ja vu, with me holeshotting again and leading for about a lap. I settled in at fourth place and just rode smart for the rest of the race. Then it was time for the final, the holeshot of course went to a Yamaha (Omar #27) and I was following closely in third. Chandran passed me straight away and in the third corner i stalled my bike :devil: :devil: :devil:
I started again way back in about 10th & quickly passed some guys to move me up to 6th. On the last lap I crashed right after the whoops and got up and finished in 8th. I was pretty disappointed about it, as I knew I could have finished in the top 5.
