After 6,200 kms of driving we finally arrived in Morelia, Mexico for the first stop on the six city world tour. This exclusive tour features six of the top FMX riders in the world featuring myself and fellow C&C team mate Bruce Cook.   We found ourselves excited to get riding after being cooped up in the van for four days of driving transporting our brand new Kawasaki 250f's. The first…

2009 Another successful year!! Things started off with a minor setback in March when the JPR race shop had a break in. John pretty much thought that was possibly the end of the season. Luckily with some help everything was back on track a month later and it was time to start getting the equipment ready for the attack on the 2009 season. Over the winter John used the good ice riding season to…

This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to race the second weekend of the Nex-Trax Arenacross series in Chilliwack, B.C.  Unfortunately, it looks like this will be the only event of the series I will be able to attend due to my work schedule this winter. I borrowed bikes from Brent Carlson, a KX250F and a KX450F.  The KX250F was an older bike that everyone had had a ride on so…

Although the Canadian Nationals wrapped up at the end of August, John Parker didn't hang up his racing boots for another flat track season until October 10/11 in Richwood, Ohio. Parker headed south of the border to take part in a double-header weekend at the Richwood Fair Grounds just for the fun of it.   "I wanted to get in at least one more good race before saying goodbye to the '09…

On August 8th & 9th, I went to San de Lee to participate in the National Championship. I decided to race in both series. It is fairly rare nowadays to see that because the time between races is too tightly scheduled. Very few guys are in shape enough to be able to pull it off. But, as I still consider myself a young pup, I thought I would be able to participate in at least three of the four…

On Sunday, I unfortunately began the race with a DNF because I fell into the mud and broke…
