When I was novice I was really slow. Most of the time I got last wich really bites. But when I went to the clinics that they did at River Valley BMX I got better and better and BETTER!!!!!!!!!! Then I started to get faster and started to win. Sometimes I just got handed the win because I was racing really really slow people. When I had 9 wins my dad started to tell the signup shack that I have 1 win left until I tuned intermediate. And when I turned intermediate I got a shirt that said,"You tuned intermediate at River Valley BMX." It was white and the printing was black but it was to big but I still have it. Its in my  dresser waiting to be worn. 

Now since Im intermediate I race experts wich are really fast riders I accually know an expert named Reed Kay,and he is pretty fast. I mostly get either last or second. I've never won first ever since I've tuned intermediate.
