With the news dropping today I figured I’d share a few words. After 14 years of racing professionally I have decided to retire from full time racing at the end of this season. This sport takes a toll both physically and mentally on its riders. I’ve had my share of ups and downs, concussions, broken bones, podiums, wins, I jumped the Leap on and won a moto by over a minute on a Suzuki 250 17 rounds of 450 Sx 9 years as a privateer, 5 years as a “Factory” racer, ultimately I’m **** proud of what I was able to accomplish in my career. I want to thank all the teams that made a spot for me throughout the years: Ti Lube-Storm Lake Honda, David Sammani, Eleven-ten Mods, Cycletrader Rock River Yamaha, Star Racing Yamaha, TLD Red Bull Ktm, JGR Yoshimura Suzuki and this year with the Muc-Off FXR Club Mx Yamaha team. Thank you!!
I’m looking forward to the next chapter and continuing to grow @trolltraining with my long time coach and friend @jrwessling
With 7 rounds of @promotocross to go I still intend to show up ready to race every weekend! Next stop tomorrow, Southwick let’s gooo!!

I have always enjoyed watching him and his brother. My favorite race was when him and his brother went one - two at their family track there in MN. One of the only brothers to go 1-2 I can think of.
