First Race!

Jackson had his first BMX bike race a few weeks ago and did pretty good! There were three heats or "moto's" as they say at the track, and if he placed 1st or 2nd he would go on to the "mains" and have a chance at a trophy! He did really well, getting 3rd in the first and third "moto" and 4th in the second one. He was soooo close to placing in the last race, I was able to video the whole race and you can see at the end that he's only a half a bike length from the kid in front of him! I was so proud of him and he had so much fun! After it was over he ended up getting a trophy since it was his first time racing and he was THRILLED! He didn't let go of the trophy when we went to lunch and had to put it on the dresser right by his head, so it would be with him when he slept! It was a very fun day!
