BMX Video

We finally made it to a BMX race! With rain outs, poor track conditions (due to rain) and our schedule, it took until the end of June for us to make it to race night!

I didn't take the video camera but took video via my phone - which is why there isn't a 'zoom'. (Maybe I need the iPhone 5?)

Here's one of Gerrit's races. He didn't take hardware home tonight but raced without trepidation which we were happy to see. He 'crashed' his first moto and took last place. The video is of the 2nd moto. The finals he was way behind and actually made up a lot of ground to almost clinch 3rd. We realized after the races that he had his feet wrong for the starts. He was way behind from the start due to this. Guess it is something he can work on this week!

Emmit was so excited to race. He asked about the race all day and wondered when it was his turn. He waited patiently till intermission and then it was his turn to shine. He took a few practice laps and then lined up. They ran them in 2 groups - by age. Emmit was in the youngest group despite how tall he is (the started didn't believe he was only 3). Anyways, the video will show you the results:

(OK, after watching the video for the first time - disclaimer -- I had Luke take the video so I could get still shots - guess he forgot to hit record! So its only 1/2 of his race!!)
