the gym. Then I come back and
do that stuff; I do graphics and
web design. I'm actually making
a website for Ricky Dietrich right
now. It's all just trying to juggle
things. During the season, race
after race, I will come home and
Monday I will get most of every-
thing cleaned up. I'll work with my
wife, Meg, to get my race report
done. I was making win ads on
my Instagram so I would do that
all on Monday. I'd be done at
three or four in the afternoon and
I just would do nothing for the rest
of the day.
Tuesday, I would usually get
back to riding, and I would ride
Tuesday, Wednesday and get
everything ready to go Thursday
then leave Friday. And I'd try to
squeeze in other stuff whenever I
could.
On your riding days, do you
ride moto? Do you go out to
the desert and pound whoops?
What do you do?
It depends on how worn out
I am and depends on what time
of year it is. If I get back from a
National and I'm feeling good,
I'll go up to Yucca Valley where
Ricky Dietrich is and the [Slam
Life Racing Honda] guys are, and
I'll ride with them. Ricky owns
True Performance Fitness so ride
[there] and it's maybe 20 minutes
from Lucerne. I'll leave at, like,
5:30 in the morning because it
takes me an hour and a half to get
there. We go do our riding, but it
depends on what Ricky wants to
do. We might do motos or work
on drills or technique or we'll do
sprints. Then we'll go back to the
gym and do cardio, and then I'll
drive home.
It seems a bit out of the
ordinary for an off-road guy
to go to an outside source for
coaching advice.
Well, you kind of are [doing
training similar to motocross]. Let
me put it this way: When we go to
[Nationals in] Utah, my weakness
is turning; I'm kind of clumsy. I
can pound sand whoops and
go across valleys and the rocks
better than I can turn. One of
the things I learned this year
