The 2018 WA MX State Championship finale
was held yesterday, a long 6 round series that started in April.
Its been an up and down season, though have enjoyed racing this year
as the series has been a good one with 20 riders on the grid at most rounds.
Yesterday was a great finish, with 1 holeshot, made the pass
to get to the front of each race, and take 3 wins, winning the round
and I finished the series 2nd overall having won 9 of the 18 races,
but suffering 4 dnf’s put me out of the title hunt.
I felt good racing at Coastal Park
which is where I started Motocross along time ago. 149 senior state round moto’s
later, and I still love the sport.
Oct 6 /7 Australian ATV MX Nationals will be held at Collie, and I will be doing my best
to keep that Australia #1 Plate.
Thanks for all your support in 2018, I really appreciate everyones help, in supporting me to do
what I love.

Round 5 19/8/18
Race 1 – Rounded the first corner in 3rd and got up into first place with a lap and half to go, took the win and was looking forward to race 2.
Race 2 a bit of drama in the first corner, was smacked in the rear end pretty hard, but mostly got away cleanly. Three of us where up the front battling for the lead, when the other two hit each other, ending up straight into my path, we got Tangled, and had to get the quads apart, luckily I got away not losing too many positions, but by now 1st place had 17 seconds lead on me. I got this down to only 3 seconds over the chequers in the 6 lap sprint, and set about repairing my bike.
Was really looking forward to moto 3, and got out to an amazing holeshot and took off, was going through the first set of rollers and suffered a part failure, really annoyed me as it was the last moto of the day I was really enjoying the track and I was going for the race and round win.
Round 6 is at Coastal Park on Sept 16

Well round 4 had some up and downs. Fastest in qualifying. Moto1 pulled the holeshot and was leading on lap 1 I had a rock go in my chain slide and snapped my chain before lap 1 was over.
Moto2 got another good start passed for the lead on lap 2 and started to pull away from 2nd place. The deep mud causing my bike to over heat. I pulled over into the mechanic area let the bike cool down and got going again and got back to 4th. Moto3 pulled another good start and passed for the lead by the 3rd corner and rode away with the win. Leaving me 7th overall for the day but still 2nd in points for the championship

while Race 3 with a better start, Luke was up into the lead by lap 2 to take the chequers and the overall for the round.
The round saw a poor turnout in two wheel classes, but 17 for the quads

this was my 50th State Round 2007 –2018,

Not the weekend we wanted fastest in qualifying. Moto 1 had a bad start got back to 2nd with some bike problems at the end of the moto. Moto2 had to ride my old bike that hadn't been used in month and on lap 3 had a electric problem and couldn't get the bike restarted. Unfortunately that was my day over as I couldn't fix either bikes for moto 3.
Few weeks off till the next round. Big thank you to my parents and @zachary_croonen
And @capo49 and my girlfriend @hannahleestorer and others that helped me get my bikes together on the day.
Thankyou to my Family, friends and the Companies who support my Racing, without you all this would be impossible.

Manjimup MC
The 2018 WA MX Championship race season started this Easter Sunday April 1 at the historic Cosy Creek at Manjimup, I was looking forward to getting back behind the gates as we havent raced Championship races since October 2017. The last 2 times Ive done the Manjimup 15000 I had won 8 from 8 moto's and hoped to keep the run going at the State round with 3 wins. I had a pretty good battle in the first 2 moto's, the lead changing multiple times throughout the race, the track was awesome and it's the only place you can jump those amazing uphill jumps and show off just what Quads Can do. I took the win in all 3 moto's, had a pretty good day, though will no doubt be spending the next 3 weeks training and in the shed preparing for round 2 at Ulinga Park Beverley. I havent been there for over 10 years, and have never raced the track, so it will be something new and exciting.
Thankyou to my Family, friends and the Companies who support my Racing, without you all this wouldnt be impossible.

The 2018 Western Australian Motocross Championships will start on April 1 at the Historic Cosy Creek Circuit at Manjimup. Having staged the Motocross of Nations in 1992 and having hosted a World MX GP round in 1993, and many years of the infamous Manjimup 15000, the circuit history is one of prestige. Manjimup is one of the favourites among many a rider and having a Manjimup 15000 trophy on your shelf always holds pride of place for those lucky enough to have won one.

In saying this the Manjimup club will host its very first WA State Championship round and it will be a double header with Juniors on Saturday and Seniors on Sunday.
