Dear, To whom it concerns I’ve built many jumps. Big, big jumps. Most wouldn’t even think it was possible to move so much earth by hand. Day, night, in the heat, the rain, with friends, and often alone. There’s lots of reasons why, maybe that’s for another post. This one’s about the chase. It’s like a jump. Everyone is throwing dirt up, building. You build as high as you can. You think you have the biggest jump and you keep tossing up dirt. A jump requires more than dirt. One of the most important parts of the build is to pause and pack it in, water and pack some more. It’s done in layers. In time you have a rideable jump with a solid base. Skip this and you won’t have a lasting jump you’ll just have a mountain of dirt. So take a break, skip a practice, rest, enjoy each other. Even an injury can be an opportunity to rebuild, pack the base, and prepare for the next level. Don’t be in a rush to make a pile of dirt.

With decades behind bars I know the bike gods expect donations. Flesh and bone preferred. Thankful to have @ting.sports.med by my side Pic from 2025 @vansbicyclecenter anniversary courtesy of @jdartwrk

Mini O’s 2025 Recap: Awesome training @game_moto leading up to the race. Racing overall was solid - led some laps, won some races, and proud of what I was able to accomplish. Turns out I had a separated labrum so my shoulder would just not stay in place on the track. Thank you to @jasonfribergphoto at @teamevs for hooking me up with a brace so I could continue to ride. Thank you for all the support in 2025, and to everyone in my corner. We really appreciate each and every one of you.

MINI O’s 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣…. Everything just looks better in G. R. E. E. N Not at all where I wanted to be or what I trained for but no excuses- head down, time to build, and time to grow. To everyone who continues to support and believe, I cannot thank you enough. And my number 1 guy who makes all of this happen @lonestagg - thank you for always having my back and bikes dialed 👊🏼 @racekawasaki @procircuit78 @foxmoto @alipps194 @robfox10 @ridedunlop @100percentmoto @ryanholliday @dannylewis142 @winningmindsmx @mxtire_usa @game_moto @180decals @mikametals @thrillseekers @tamerholeshot @nikambriz @_bliler_ @monsterarmy

This is the hardest working kid you will ever meet. His dedication to being better goes way farther than his goals on a bike. While most cruised into Lorettas week, Talan was working on his summer school college final. He will graduate High School a year early(next year) with a diploma, and an associate degree. Talan- In an industry that only measures you by your last results those closest know how special you are. Son, Talan I’m so proud of you. Thank you to everyone that keeps pushing us forward.
