James Christie in California


James is out in CA riding with daleholmes.com and the Flemdog. Here's a report that just came in:

Thought I would update you on how things are going over in California. We have been lucky enough to stay at Dale Holmes pad which has given a day to day insight on training, rest and diet.

On Saturday we raced in a State Qualifier in Apple Valley which is in the Mojave desert, the competition was not to strong and I took the win.

The following day we hit up Orange Y which is used by the AA pro's as it has a 4ft start hill and uphill first straight! The locals were super quick down the first straight but lacked technical ability, would be cool to see them ride Cheddar or Chessy.

Back up to Perris for another evening session which was more aimed at track and jumping the second straight which had two sets of large doubles.

During the day, we just followed Dale's riding routine which to say the least was harsh, but as the saying goes no pain no gain! lol

Popped Down to see Gary and Kathy at Avent/Bombshell to check out their new factory. Gary showed me the jig he designed for the TR7 which will be shortly going production. As the frames are going to be made in house you can specify the dimensions of your frame. Gary is hoping that the TR7 will be lighter than the already light Factor!!

Today we are not doing much, just a few gates on Dale's Pro Gate as tomorrow we are heading to an ABA National at Bakersfield who are expecting 3,000 riders.

Will keep you informed.
