Sorry folks, there will be nothing fancy about this post. I am sick, sick, sick!!!! In fact, I didn't even go to work today -- Monday - which is a super big deal for me!! I can't remember the last time I missed work because I was sick!! I hope it is not the FLU!!! YUCK!!!
Anyway, this weekend was ahhhmazing for both my kiddos!!!! Hannah got the holeshot, but then dropped back to second when she came through scoring...only behind by 8 seconds. When she came through the next lap she was ahead by about 20 seconds and then she continued to widen the lead each lap. When she made her pit stop she was ahead by over a minute. She had a wreck on the way into scoring on the last lap, but still was able to hold a respectable lead at 1:38!!! So proud of my baby girl and her first win of the season. She has been getting faster and building more confidence every race.
Noah also got the holeshot in a most eventful start...they were all bumping bars and making contact and he shot across the first turn completely sideways. I actually thought he wrecked, but he held onto it. After the motocross section he came across the first field in third place, but by the time he came into scoring he was second. The guy that was in first is a super fast A rider, but he hasn't raced in 4 years, so he signed up in B class. He is not running for points, but Noah was still hungry for another "W" so he pushed hard through the whole race. Every lap he was shaving off the distance between him and first place and by the last lap he came through in first. I love love love that boys determination and tenacity. He has such a confidence about him that I am so proud of.
Obviously, I didn't race-- I just did a lot of coughing and hacking, but I did get the chance to take pictures of both races-- something I don't normally get to do. When I feel a little better I will edit the pictures and put together a movie for you guys.
Until then, have fun and be safe -- Crystal

Adventures With a Family Behind (handle)Bars
I feel as if my first post should be a clarification of sorts. My blog title might be a little misleading -- we are not in prison or in jail or even in trouble with the law. It is completely a play on words and sums up the humor of our family perfectly.
We are a family dirtbike racing team comprised of husband, Kenneth, wife, Crystal, son, Noah (16) and Hannah (15) who have crazy adventures, not just at the race track, but in this journey through life. We have ADHD (all of us-- my dad says even the dogs are ADHD) and that it is contagious in our house.
Our house is usually a mess and I have learned to deal with it to some extent. I realize most people only dream of having the opportunity to spend as much time with their kids and I should embrace it. Time passes way too quickly and this time in our life will be gone in a flash, so I have learned to embrace the chaos and enjoy the moments more.
I will introduce each member in more detail in later posts, but for right now I put together a short video to introduce us to the blogging world. Hope you enjoy.
