So I’m an uncle…

Family No Comments »

So, not many people know but I have an older brother Bill. We didn’t grow up together, and really don’t know each other very well. Probably through the fault of both of us. I kind of keep to myself, and he’s had a lot going on.

But, the other day my niece Iris called and when I answered the phone she said “Uncle Jason?”

I have to admit, I’ve never been called Uncle before, and it was kind of a surprising but good feeling experience. We spent a while talking catching up on life. Turns out we have a lot in common. She rides motorcycles, likes things with engines. And is considering joining the Army. Pretty cool…

Pure Hilarity

I’ve raced the Baja 500 :-)

What is the Baja 500?
Its the baby sister of the Baja 1000. The most intense and grueling offroad race in North America. The 500 has many of the same characteristics of the 1000, just half the distance. Both are races that require you to be in top shape and willing to give it your all.
What is the Baja 500 to me?
Racing in the Baja 500 has been a childhood goal of mine. Since I was 16 I’ve wanted to do this race. Although back then I’d thought I’d do it in a baja bug like a majority of the people. I had no idea I’d do it on a motorcycle. Someone in Dust to Glory said “…Baja [Mexico] is like that girlfriend you can’t live with or without. I hate you, I love you, I hate you, I love you…”

Much of riding down there, and racing down there is like that. There are areas where you think “What the hell am I doing here?” then you come around a mountain, across a stream, and into a view that is just completely awing.


With everything, it was an experience worth having. I spent a great weekend with some good friends. I met a goal I’ve had for a very long time. And! We placed 3rd in our class!

I’ll be posting my helmet cam footage as soon as I can!
Until then, enjoy a few photos Photos
