Tonight the track gave him a really cool certificate and a ribbon in recognition of his 8th win and the fact that he moved up to the next class. We had no idea they were going to give him a certificate or a ribbon but he was pretty excited about it. Unfortunately I had to work so I missed all the festivities... Bummer! Wendy and Carissa were there and Wendy got this great photo of Tyler right after he got his award and his ribbon....
Tyler got to race tonight for the first time as an "Intermediate" and he was a little nervous because he's now racing against new riders who have more experience than he does. Just like when he first started there will be a learning curve here too, but he's a persistent little son of a gun so I'm sure he'll do just fine.
We're still learning all about this BMX thing but what a great sport and a really great group of people at the Blue Springs BMX track! If you're looking for a great sport for you kids, boys and girls alike, you should consider BMX. It's a great group of people and they're tremendously helpful and knowledgeable about the sport. The best part is they have bikes and helmets there at the track so you can just show up and try it to see if your kids like it. It's like taking a car for a test drive. That's how we got started and Tyler seemed to really enjoy it and he was actually quite good at it so we bought him a race bike and the rest is history...
If you're interested in getting your kids into a really great sport that gets them outside and exercising at the same time. Take a look at BMX. Here is the link to the Blue Spring BMX track. Blue Springs BMX
Congratulations Tyler! We're all so proud of you!!!!
