E.Bash Texas Update

Hey Y’all .. I’m going to make this update short and sweet considering the really bad weekend that I had.  Saturday morning I got to the track around 7:30 just in time for the riders meeting that begun at 8:00. With my gallon of water in my hand I was getting prepared for one really hot and humid day. The weatherman said that Saturday was going to be 100 degrees with 95% humidity.  So as it was time for the first WMX practice to take off and all I had in mind was to go out there and put in a few solid fast laps and then take the rest of the time to look for different or better lines. I ran 3^rd most of the practice and at the end when it was all said and done I finished 6^th and that would also be my gate pick.

I lined up for moto one and was feeling really confident and knew that I needed to get a good start so I could run up there with the top girls. I came around the first turn in 4^th place and made a few minor mistakes on the first lap that led me to get passed by a few girls. I rode a really strong moto and had really good battle with Sara Price who is number 4 on the Kawasaki. It was so hot after that race, I quickly got back to the rig to get cooled off and rehydrated for moto 2 that was coming up in a quick few hours.

Moto two was even hotter than the first moto but I knew that all the girls were going to have to suffer the heat just like me. I got out to a 3^rd place start and was in a good position and again made a mistake and slid out around a turn and Vicki Golden and Sara Price got by me. Again me and Price were battling it out and I was going to pass her through the sand section before the finish line and that’s where it all went wrong. I swapped and down I went. I ended up dislocating my shoulder and not able to finish the race. I want to thank Dr. Bodner for fixing me up at the track.  That was the roughest track I have ever ridden in my life, but I think the Miller family did an awesome job with the whole race that weekend.

I hopped on a plane Sunday morning to flying back home to California to go to the doctors Monday first thing to find out about my shoulder and make sure that everything was ok.  I went to see Dr Rieman who is a really good moto doctor and there we took some x rays and he sat down and told me that my shoulder was broken. Like all girls do I cried and cried.. He told me that I was going to be out for a while.

It’s been well over a week now and I’m feeling a lot better. I am in the process of doing some serious therapy with under the direction of Dr Navarro to try and get better sooner and get that number 5 machine back on the track. I really don’t know when I going to come back. It will all depend on how I feel and how the X rays look in a few weeks when I go back to the doctor. So in the mean time I will be working on my tan and still training so when its time for me to race I will be ready!!!

I want to again thank all my sponsors

E. Bash Update from Hangtown

I told you guys that I would be back with an update from every national this year. This past weekend was Round 1 of the WMX series at Hangtown near the big city of Sacramento. My mom and I packed up the van and drove up on Thursday. Just say it was a girl’s road trip and I have never sung that much in my whole life.  We arrived in Sacramento and instead of going to the hotel; we decided to go do a little shopping. Thank god for good discounts that Kohl’s has because my mom and I spent A LOT of money.

Friday was the first time that I went to the track and met my new team (TISCO RACING) and teammates. I was a little nervous but they made my feel like I was part of the team already. I did all the things that I needed to do and then it was time to pick up my boyfriend Charles and my little brother Cameron from the Airport. We ate dinner at the Outback and then went to bed.

I woke up Saturday Morning and was ready to go and just wanted to get out there in practice and learn the track and put in some fast laps. I had a little issue in practice but managed to pull off and place 10th in the qualifying times.  All 30 girls lined up for the first moto not knowing how they were going to stack up against the other girls. I knew going into the moto that I have a really fast bike thanks to Eleven 10 Mods for building me a super fast motor. Gate dropped and I got a 5th place start and rode really tight the first moto and ended up 8th.  I came off the track and went over a few things that needed to be changed before moto two.  I can’t thank my boyfriend Charles enough for making sure my bike was clean and ready. Oh yeh today was his 25th Birthday.  Second moto came quick and I again tried to focus on getting a good start and just ride to the of best my ability.  I came around the first turn around 6th and made a pass and got in 5th and just was strong the whole moto and ended up getting 4th. I was very happy with my weekend because I made it out safe and with no injuries and was in 6th in points. I’m ready for Texas to come in a few weeks and I know what I need to work on to make me faster.

Thanks for reading my update and I will be writing my new up date soon. Thanks to all my sponsors for all the help they have given me so far this year.

Be sure to check out the sponsor page and visit some of their websites! 

I've recently bought a new puppy Missy. She is a chocolate lab girl that is full of energy. I also have a boy Lab named Buster that has a new sister to play with.  I treat my dogs as if they were my kids. haha.  

I have joined a soccer team with a lot of my good friends that I played with in high school. We are currently in first place with 2 more games to go. Me and my Boy friend Charles have been together for almost 5 years and are now in the process of buying our first home. It is a lot of work and very stressful but I'm sure after we get it and in it will be awesome.

The last thing that I have done over the off season is I have taken a Veterinary Assistant course and have passed it and got my certificate to one day get a job in a vets offices or anywhere that deals with animals. I'm looking forward to having a great 2010 year on and off the track..
