Racing Si

Silas had his first BMX race a couple of weeks ago. (He was so excited, he even left a birthday party early to race!)

He began BMX in June after learning to ride a bike on his birthday in April. He LOVES riding. It is pretty much all he cares about.

 

 

You know we couldn't have such a big day without the loving support of our family. Silas truly had a cheering section! (Even if most of them were in ugly attire.)

Silas did great in his race. He took third place and won a troll-phy. He is determined to win at least 2nd next time as he noticed a 2nd place trophy with flames on it. Ha! Finally racing has sparked a fire in him. He was always excited about practice, but now he is begging to race every day!

We are so proud of his courage and endurance! He has been so brave for a 4 year old little buddy. Just when we get frustrated or want to push him further, we notice that he is in bed with all of his stuffed animals in a perfect line tucked in next to him.

I encourage any of you with kids that love bike riding to check out Circle City BMX. They are so friendly and supportive. They have taught Richard and me so much about a sport we were truly clueless about. They have supported, encouraged, helped, and taught Silas so much! Please check them out!
