So we're coming home from a swim meet for our daughter today and off to the left of the freeway we see the practice track that the Supercross teams use before LA. We pull over and are the only spectators. McGrath, Fonsecca and the other Honda riders are practicing. Nice guys, showboating , signing autographs and posing with our daughter and her friend. Stayed for about an hour. Great treat to end the day.

Hey guy,

Very cool. All Madison had was a ribbon from a previous swim meet. He was cute and wrote good luck as well as signing it. We may go up next week and check out the next team practice. This time she'll bring as jersey.
We are probably going to Supercross. I'll let you know if we need tickets. :)
Thanks for the offer to all of us.

Cadie did not go into detail. Mcgrath is talking on his phone, sees my daughter and her friend waiting paitiently outside the fence. He tells who ever he's talking to I'll call you back. Then nods for the girls to come over. Takes 3 pictures that his buddy took, signs autograghs, talks to them, and tells them anytime when they thank him. Not only his skills for riding and racing, but his attitude is why he will always be the best supercrosser ever. The best for me was when he saw the camera come out. He throws his helmet on and jumps off the backside of a burm right in front of us. Then he comes across a tech section balls out, again right in front of us. Dude is for sure show time. I'm sure he's got a million pictures of his riding style, but the top picture is sweet. If any board members know him, please tell him he made our day, and he can take my boat out for the day. :D :D
Hey Slick, if you could of got half his riding ability, do you think you could of got half his cool attitude. :D

That is great that you guys saw MC and crew up at Castillo Ranch. Must have been up that way to dodge the rain and ride somewhere other then the flooded out Honda track. Castillo Ranch is the ultimate play riding place for pro's. They've got jumps back in the hills that would make Evil Knievel shit himself. :2purples:
Jeremy always was and still is a class act. He single handedly carried the sport of Supercross on his shoulders to where it is today. Fortunately guys like Carmichael, Reed and Stewart are all class acts in there own right and will continue to elivate the sport to even greater hights.
To bad Bling Bling could only dream of having a fraction of the talent and class that Mr. McGrath has. :wink:
P.S. Bling, did you get on your knees and bow to the King? :D
