Today marks a moment I’ll never forget. It’s been 10 years since I was diagnosed with Leukemia (ALL). At the time, I truly believed it was the end of my life. Just a few months later, Charlotte was diagnosed with breast cancer, and everything got even heavier. Looking back, one of the hardest parts wasn’t just what we went through physically and mentally, but what our kids had to carry. Kelsey and Cooper had to grow up fast, stepping in and giving up so much to help take care of both of us. That’s something I’ll never be able to fully put into words. We were surrounded by incredible friends and family who showed up for us in ways I’ll never forget. And for that, I’m forever grateful. It’s been a rollercoaster, full of challenges and perspective shifts. 10 years later, I’m still here. And I don’t say that lightly. But the truth is… Charlotte isn’t. And that’s a weight I carry every single day. I miss her in everything. At the same time, I know exactly what she’d say to me, keep going. Live your life. Don’t waste a second. So that’s what I’m trying to do. Not perfectly, not without scars, but with purpose. #fcancer #leukemia #leukemiasurvivor

Another unreal place I got to ride my motorcycle to yesterday. #utah #topoftheworld #da8training #da8guidedrides #da8experience

Not a bad view to start the work week. Monday I took out a cool group of guys, visiting from New York, for one of my @da8training guided rides (I also gave them riding tips). They also rented one of my bikes. #da8guidedrides #da8experience #arizona

There was a time training was all about results. Now it’s about feeling alive again and enjoying these moments more. I know I’ll never be at the level I once was but I’m totally fine with that and having fun, and that’s what matters most to me now. The stock 350XCF suspension was way too soft, so it’s off getting revalved. Excited to push again soon. Great few days training in Cali.

We saw @destryabbott post about this bike and figured we would join in. About 10 years ago we printed a story on this machine and it looks as cool today as it did back then! #kx500 #twostroke #dirtbikemagazine #offroad #motocross

First time riding and training on a MX track in over 6-months. Timing and intensity was a little off but I tried to just be smooth and build a foundation right now. I’m planning on doing some racing again this year (old man class) so it’s time to get back into the swing of it. Big thanks to @arizonacyclepark for the great track on Sunday. @da8training @fxrracing @fxrmoto @cm.parts_ @foxtoyotaofelpaso @strictlywildco @dunlopmoto @aeopowersports @nuetechofficial #da8training #mxtraining #50plus #ktm350xcf

Hard to believe today marks one year since Charlotte’s passing. The years leading up to that day were incredibly hard, watching the person I love go through so much. This time last year was filled with emotions I still struggle to put into words. Relief, knowing she was finally free from pain, and heartbreak realizing I would have to learn how to live without her by my side. This past year has been a rollercoaster of a ride. Grief comes in waves, and some days are heavier than others. But somewhere along the way, I’ve began to find myself again. I’m in a way better place now, even though I still have moments where the loss feels just as real, but I know she’s looking over me and wants me to be happy. Miss you! ❤️ #fcancer

ryatts always so surprised his grandpa can keep up😂🙈 @destryabbott

Live tonight! Winner take all between @jonnywalker_22 and @trystanhart84 - tune into the floors app tonight at 7pm PST!!! It’s going to be wild!!!

I loved racing motorcycles and always tried to enjoy the moments as much as I could. This was one of those times during a @nationalhareandhound race, the one spot I could actually relax because it was smooth. I was probably doing around 95–100 mph, and it’s an awesome feeling when you’re one with the bike 🤙🏼✊🏼 @da8training #da8training #da8experience
