Now everyone cross their fingers for a boy so that Jimmy and Lexi will get their wish
Lord help me if I get a boy like Jimmy though. I don't know if I will be able to handle that.

I am still looking forward to stuntwars, but instead of riding I will be hanging out and selling stuff for the last time.
So, with that in mind I had to make a decision that I never thought I would make...giving up Stunting and the Redline team. I will certainly still be around and plan on helping the team any way possible. I just can't continue to stunt as most of us know it is a never ending money pit to keep the bikes running. This isn't the easiest decision, but life dealt me this deck of cards and I am going to make the best out of it.
Like I always said, stunting was just another hobby for me and always knew it would become nothing more than leisure time. I have a great full time job and certainly wouldn't risk it for this hobby. I also have mortgage, car payments, numerous other bills, and need to put my priorities first knowing a 2nd child is on the way.
I am not going to turn this into a farewell post as I still plan on being around to hangout with the team and my friends. I have meet a lot of great people throughout my years of riding and being on the Redline team. I would also like to thank our sponsors for the continued support. I will be passing all the fun business aspects of the team over to Carmen. Jesse and Peyton are great riders so the team will still be going strong. I'm sure their eyes are open for another great rider to fill the empty slot.
Another day I never saw coming was me giving up a sportbike for a cruiser. Yet, I know if I bought a streetbike it would mainly be on one wheel. So in order to cure my riding itch I will be buying a Kawasaki Mean Streak once I sell my bike. Try not to be too jealous when I roll up to Lakeland on it to spectate
.
Enough for now...It was a blast riding with everybody while it lasted and will be seeing you at Stuntwars

Re: Time to RETIRE from stunting...good luck everybody!
Hey man, the wife and I wish you and Kristina the best with the baby on the way. For your sake may you have another girl cause man are boys a handful!
We've know each other since before the group thing all started and we were just running around tearing up the streets, so this definetly comes as a surprise. I'm sure it took alot to make a decision like this so good luck with your choice, it's all about what's best for you and your family.
I know my riding hours have decreased dramatically since my son was born, well actually since after he learned to walk and get into everything. Even though I ride alot less, I know it's for the right reasons. The family takes priority and if we had another little one right now I don't know how I would have time to ride.
Good luck with everything and I'm sure we'll all hang out sometime when I'm down visiting again.
Take care!

Hey stranger....you are welcome to cruise around with all us "non-stunters" It would be great to get a chance to hang out with all of the old crew again....we will all have to make some plans to go ride when this weather figures out what it is doing....I am a borderline fair weather rider
