Last weekend, Bart and I drove down to Vegas for the Supercross Finals. Bart's uncle got him the chance to flag the race on the track for his graduation, so we hopped on the opportunity. Bart has always had a few goals in motocross, one of them being to catch the goggles when the winning rider stops and typically tosses his goggles into the cheering crowd. The other is to flag a race. So a couple years ago, Bart caught the goggles and was the happiest I'd seen him since we got married (not quite, but it seemed like it) and now he has gotten to flag a race, so his dreams came true! Everyone might be thinking we are total dorks, which I guess we are, but really those who know motocross know that flagging the finals in Vegas is pretty darn cool.
Bart took this from about ten feet away. So cool. Yah, Stewart wins again! (James Stewart- funny, huh?)
Note to all - he wasn't the checkered flag or anything, just a yellow flag when something happens on the track, like a rider goes down or something. He actually had someone go down in front of him too. So exciting!

I am excited to try out Bart's Skate ramp at Ticklehook. Me and My Mom took a tour last night with your dad and Bart was busy building. Very Cool. Is he going to be designing the next best skate park for Tony Hawk to skate on?
How fun! That would be such a rush to be out there on the track, what a blast!
