The Last Utah WinterCross Round for the Season





So as you know, Nate has been promoting and putting on a series of races for motorcross all winter long. This weekend was the last round for this year. It was awesome!! The event was so big that even Gov. Huntsman came on Friday. It was so exciting. Nate worked so hard for months to put all this together with 2 of his friends and it truly was an amazing event. Noah raced as usual and this time, for the first time ever, Addison raced. She got first place(she was the only entry in her class but she doesn't know that). Her trophy is almost as big as her. Everyone in the entire stadium was cheering for her. I thought I would cry it was so cute. Can you believe that I let my little, fragile, feminine, girly girl ride a motorcycle? I must be crazy. She loved every moment of it and thinks she is the neatest thing since sliced bread. We all had so much fun and need to thank all our family and friends that voluteered to help. Without them, none of this would have been possible. The best part is that UtahWinterCross was such a huge success that Nate and his partners have been asked to run other motorcross events all over the state. I really am so proud of him for taking a hobby of his and making it into something so big that it benefited the community, our family and friends and the world of motorcross in Utah!!!! (P.S. The photos are a little hard to see. The first one is Addi and the last one is Noah. Can you believe the amount of air he is getting? The guy in the photo next to him is over 6 feet tall and Noah is clearing him if that gives you any idea of the amount of stress and anxiety that watching this sport gives me!!)

Addi looks so cute in her little get up! You are a brave mom to let your cute, fragile, girly girl get out there with the boys. Congrats to Nate too!

Wow! You guys are great. Thank you for making our winter so fun. Nate gave Clay a "Utah Wintercross" hat and he still sleeps in it.
I hope next time Heber City will wake up and see what a great asset you have brought to our town. We didn't win a thing but we sure had alot of fun!!
Please come back next year and let us know what event you are putting on next so we can come. If you need volunteers we'll be happy to help.
