Weight is going down & spirit is going up Bandages are off, staples are out, & I got to take a shower without the water shield. Slow progress is still progress! #BMXDad #TeamAME #MakingProgress #DownButNotOut (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chn1lIXJ_kB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Injuries are not a recommended weight loss plan but it’s highly effective. Initial weigh-in at the hospital post injury was 274.7lbs. My previous weigh-in was 7/15 at 269.8lbs. At 248lbs, I’m currently at my lowest since COVID hit. As soon as I can be weight bearing, I need to continue this trend. I need to get back into the gym & work what I can while keeping my diet clean. I can’t keep racing if I’m going to weight above 250lbs. I realize this recovery will take time but by making sure that I don’t rapidly increase my caloric intake, I can slowly work this weight closer to my 210lbs goal. I feel like I can be much more competitive at a lower weight & increased strength. A special thanks to those that have reached out & have pushed me to recovery. I can do this but you guys make it easier. #TeamAME #USABMX #HurdlesCantStopMe #InjuriesCantStopMe (at Las Vegas, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChY6AUru4xW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just realized that my post for Dustin “Muddy Buddy” Feske never went through last night! He just turned 9 so he’s racing kids a bit older. He had a pretty full gate & still pulled 3rd with some good moves. #TeamAME #IntenseBMX #TheVault (at Ed Fountain Park BMX) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfexRRtv1QZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Pushed for a second place finish in the main. Had some issues in turn 1 that made things interesting & made that 47 tooth ring really push me to get back up to speed. Still, got a podium & the points put me 1st in the state for my class. I’m good with that. Entire team had a great day. We had a few riders on #TeamAME finish just out of the podium spots in hard fought races too. All in all, it was a great day. #USABMX #EFPBMX #GunslingerBMX #OldGuysRacing (at Ed Fountain Park BMX) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb3pIG9JRmH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dustin took second place despite snow making the track slick. #USABMX #TeamAMe (at Ed Fountain Park BMX) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaBwxwTrhhB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Soooo…this slow, old fat guy did a thing! My first race in almost 25 years & I finished second against the younger experts. I obviously need to work on my riding but I didn’t break anything & stayed upright so I got to bring home a trophy. Not pretty but I’ll take it. #BMXlife #TeamAME (at Whitney MESA BMX) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWHAOpbhttX/?utm_medium=tumblr
