Winning the Lottery
I did not make any extra cash on this lottery. No big truck in my drive way, but this lottery was not a bad one to hit. Now to be a good athlete they say you need to hit the lottery in your parents. Well I hit all the numbers and the powerball with my support system. There is a piece in my support system that not many others have or know about. It is my twin brother Evan. Having a twin helps you be a better racer. Absolutely. If there are any questions about it, ask Brian Gregg. Now how some one I fight with almost constantly can help that much, you might wonder, check it out. He got the ballur genes, and I don’t have em what so ever. He is smooth, handsome (or so girls would tell me) sense of style, fearless (dh pro MTBer) a pin it to win it attitude. Now I have to live my rowdy life vicariously through Evan. He has had red bull with Danica Patrick at a NASCAR race, asked little E for a ride in Fort Worth Texas, almost hit a deer on a Mountain Bike, made $30 creatively walking home late one night, gone over 50 mph on dirt mountain biking, and he also has my back no matter what. This year he built up my new mountain bike when it came in. That night picked me up wicked late at the airport, from a ski race, took me to dinner. When I woke up was able to train on my mountain bike the next day. Now my weaknesses are his strengths and he is willing to help with a little sarcasm involved. I sucked at downhills and pack skiing. He has showed me what’s up and helped me get better. When I would get intimidated easily he would “gently” remind me how tough cross country skiing is and how good we all look in spandex going up the hill. He has the credentials to say this. When he can beat you but, is better at other areas in his life, you tend to shut up. Also if I ever get a little cocky or a big head it gets squashed fast. He is pretty clever and funny with his answers, like he wonders how the hell I could keep entertained for a 4 hour roller ski. Its constant I get brought back down to reality fast and it’s funny enough that I laugh. How do you get agro at that or think you are a ballur when he hucks a 15 ft cliff on a bike. I am selfishly pumped he is not racing because that is one spot lower I would finish on the results. But he is always there to bring me down when he can.
