Silver Dollar National

4.30 starts trip to silver dollar nationals at Reno, Nevada. We are trying to get over the mountains during the day. You know the tv show ”highway to hell”? That's the road we are at. Snow almost got us already. Highway were shut down right after us. Now we are heading to the donner summit, that is even higher than the last one. In California is law that you have to have snow chains when it's snowing. But tv show last night show that those doesn't do much. Tow trucks makes turns snow to gold over here.

I'm travelling with Jeff and Paul Wassenaar from Bellflower team. Jeff is super. He is always dropping gate at Bellflower. He and his brother were the ones to build up Bellflower track in beginning of year 2000. Jeff is also in wheelchair because at age of 21 he got shot 4 times while he was car jacked. Paul is the youngest child of Jeff. He is awesome kid and incrediable rider! Paul won World Champions when he was 15 and was 6th with cruiser. So I'm hoping to hear some stories about gang life in LA and BMX ofcourse!

I have two bikes with me, so I'm about to ride both classes. Price for this competition is getting up to $385, so getting out of my ball park. $125 for ride, $60 for hotel, $200 for entry fees. This don't cover food or entry fees for friday, if I'm willing to race on that race. To learn to race you got race, this lesson is not the cheapest one!

I promised to put the chains to our car, so we save $40.. guess I have to start to get ready to get out :/ Grrr.
