Burns, yes, I feel a bit out of place but I see this race as a once in a lifetime experience. I've got 2 braces for my shoulder. I dislocated it last Saturday but I don't want this to hold me back from getting around on a mini bike tomorrow. I've done everything wrong to prepare for this. No riding, injured, had a few beers, sleeping on the floor tonight, parked the car at a meter that I have to throw some money in before 7am tomorrow morning, never touched a DRZ110 bike in my life, the list goes on. There's no pressure though. Anything but last place is my goal, and sending Brian Lopes over the berm, that would be sweet. He takes things too seriously. Oakley, Thor, HARO and the Universal crew have got my back for this race and I'd like to thank them for their support in advance. I'll check in with you tomorrow.
