06/05/2004 Entry: "Libery Hill - Amanda and Steven's wedding / motocross"
Last weekend we were down in Austin because Steven, one of Zack's brothers, finally got married to his girl, Amanda. Mandy & Steve got together at about the same time Zack and I did. It's about damn time they tied the knot. The wedding was fun. Mandy was stressed out that morning, but by the time we were all getting our makeup and hair done she had calmed down enough to enjoy everything. I was an unofficial photographer of the event and I took some nice peeeectures for their album. View below, if you please:

Amanda and Steven - newlyweds!
My lovely sister-in-law, Kristina, and her brother, Steven.
I was really wishing for an SLR digicam. Doh.
The next morning Zack and I went to Liberty Hill MX and rode for many hours. The track was a bit torn up when we got there, but after a half-hour or so the other riders had smoothed it out for me. :) I have to say that it was the best time on a track I've ever had. And I've never wished for a YZ250F more. At the end of the day I was so tired I was literally shaking, but I decided to go out for two more laps.
Big. Mistake.
After the last tabletop I was pulling off and I hit a patch of loose dirt and fell over. I twisted my knee a bit and heard a pop as I was going down. I was afraid I'd hurt my ACL. Zack tore his last year, and ever since his surgery I've been a bit paranoid about my own knees. All was well, though. The only thing seriously hurt was my pride. Z informed me about the excruciating pain that accompanies a torn ACL and I didn't feel anything close to that. As I was pulling myself out from under my tank of a bike a rider from another camp came running over help me. I had the pleasure of seeing him wince and grunt on his first attempt at picking my bike up. It's about 50 pounds heavier than the average dirt bike. Later Zack was looking at my knee guards and he showed me where the plastic had popped when it overextended a bit. Z has decided that our next purchase will be a pair of EVS braces for me.
That's the big news from here. How's by you?
