Toronto, the dirt was really soft almost like sand. The track got really rutty.  I felt good riding, but the bike set up was a little off.  It was my first time riding the in those conditions and overall my bike was just too soft.  I had a good heat race and qualified directly to the Main.  The main event wasn't so good.  I got off to o.k. start and from there I never really got it going.  I rode tight and just fought the track and never flowed on it.  I ended up in 9th.  I was really hoping for a top 5 result, maybe next week

Vancouver:  The dirt in Vancouver was not any better.  It was a gray colored sand the came from the bottom of some local river I guess.  It was also littered with rocks,(big rocks).  The corners were sandy, but only some of the jumps were rutty.  The first heat was not good, I had a bad start then just rode a little tight.  The semi race was good. I started in second then got into the lead and pulled away.  I rode really strong and had good lap times. I felt I was ready for the main event.

The main I started in about 5th.  I got passed by #13 and stayed there for a few laps.  I finally started riding and I made some moves. I had the #5 bike of Mike LaRocco on my tail, so I had to start moving.  I moved all the way into 3rd, then chased down the second place rider (Nick Wey) to get within a second of him.  I made a mistake and cased a small triple and lost some time. At that point there was only a couple laps left.  I finished in 3rd.  I was pumped with a 3rd. place finish, it was a good solid ride.  I would like to thank my trainer Alwyn Cosgrove, my mechanic John and the Team ECC.com Honda guys for their support.

See ya at Anaheim,
