Brayden and I were busting at the seams to get out on our bikes, and since our dad rode on the lawn..we figured we should be able to as well!

My Birthday

I just had my 7th birthday. It was a lot of fun and I got some great gifts. Grandma and Grandpa Barlow gave me the camera that I used to take these pictures. I have had so much fun taking pictures of everything I see. I got a cool castle lego set.
And a black pearl lego set.
I also go this awesome dart gun that is automatic it shoots 20 darts in about a minute.
Becky gave me this fun game, It was fun for everyone.
I forgot to take a picture of my cake before we cut it. It had a green race car with a number 7 on the door and Owen on the front, and flames on the hood.

I got a Indiana Jones set from my Grandpa and Grandma Reese it has been a lot of fun.

Thanks for everyone makeing it such a fun day.

Caineville Trip

This is me riding my KTM dirt bike in Cainville. This is my favorite spot to ride because it has lots of jumps and some wide open spots to go fast. My dirt bike needed a clutch adjustment on this trip, but after we got it fixed it really ripped!!

PlayDough

Here is a cool scene I made out of playdough.

WHOO WHOO

We found that we have a cool owl living in the tree in our backyard. Mom thought she heard it before but we found some owl pellets on the ground and looked up and there it was. It is really cool and I like to look at all the bones in the owl pellets. We call him owly and we really like having him around.

Lego's

I am like my mom and I love Lego's. This is the latest set on my wish list.

Learning To Ride My KTM

It was time for me to learn to ride my bike so Dad helped me. He hung onto a rope tied to the bike of my bike at first to keep me from going to fast. Once I got the hang of it I was off. I even went full-throttle around one side of the loop. It was fun. There are more pictures and video on my Dads blog.

The Devil's Swimming Pool

In Zimbabwe, Africa, you can find the magnificent Victoria Falls at a height of 128 m. The location is known as "The Devil's Swimming Pool". During the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls without falling over! These falls are becoming well known amongst the "radical tourist" industry as more and more people search for the ultimate experience. I'm kind of afraind of heights,but would you dare to do what these people are doing?

Paper Rockets

Here is the paper rocket I made today. We made a pattern for the fins on the computer, then rolled the paper on a piece of pvc. Once it's all taped and glued together it's ready to get launched with our compressed air launcher. It's really fun. We have been playing with them for 2 days straight now trying to get better at making them so when we have our reunion everyone can make some of their own from the patterns and designs that we are making!

Black Eye

Here is my latest injury. I got hit by a flying toy.

Crazy Weekend

Owen had a very eventful weekend. On Wednesday he had a high blood sugar then again on Thursday so we called the Dr. and he told us he thought he had Diabetes and we would probably have to go spend a couple days at Primary Childrens hospital. So on Friday mom took him to the Dr. and he said that is what he has there is no other explanation. So we sent the other kids to Grandmas and took him to the Hospital. He was there for about 24 hours and was poked about 20 times. Then they said he doesn't have diabetes and he can go home. We are all very glad that he doesn't have it but confused by the whole experiance. He was quite the trooper and let the nurses and doctors do all they had to do even though sometimes it was really hard. Here are some pictures from the event.

Guitar Lessons

Here is a video of me playing with our new "toy" It's a guitar lesson game that teaches how to play a guitar. This is the first level that just teaches rythym. You can actually play every note just like a real guitar. Dad was playing the real one along with us on some of the songs.(he sucks)

Terraniac!!

It snowed today so I thought I would try out my terraniac in the snow. It did ok on the ice but the snow was too powdery and it just sank.

Mom and I built this cool lincon log house and I wanted to share it.

Stunt Dirt Bike Game

Little Moab

I love Nutty Putty! I rode my bike and my buggy alot. I was going to try to ride a motorbike, but the KTM was having problems so now we have to fix it. I cut my ear when I was trying to fix my buggy(that's why I have the thing on my head). It wasn't as much my trip I guess as other trips, but I still had a good time digging a deep hole and putting Hannah in it. I got a RC terraniac for easter that will drive on land snow and water! It was really fun once we got the batteries to work. I wanted to take some video in the buggy while my dad was driving. The video at the bottom is the one I took. We saw a whole herd of deer right here while we were driving before so I wanted to video in the spot where we saw the deer. I have alot of fun in the buggy! I also had fun with Deegan. He is a really good dog so far.

Sweet Off Road Video

This video is so cool! Monster trucks, dirt bikes, trophy trucks..all at the same time!

White Wash Sand Dunes

We had a great trip to the dumes (how I say dunes). I really enjoyed making my buggy into a mud blob.Most of the time a jacket was sufficient it was nice weather for February.
This is me getting ready for my first ride on my new bike. It went good I was a little scared but I am getting the hang of it.

Fun times around the fire.

Mike Metzger

Profile of Mike Metzger
D.O.B: 19/11/1975 Born in: Huntington Beach, CA

Three random facts
1. The name ‘McFritz’ (Mike's favourite trick) was formed from his Grandpa’s name and Mike's middle name.
2. Eight of his teeth are 24 carat gold
3. You can buy a pair of Mike Metzer’s signature pyjamas!



Mike Metzger is a fearless dirt bike rider who's had the
throttle pinned for the last decade, blasting the sport of
freestyle motocross into the mainstream. He’s a pioneer
and a champion of FMX, who made history at X Games 2002
by pulling two massive backflips, one after the other – a trick
he named the Double Fritz.
He’s racked up countless medals and video parts, and stars
in a videogame called ‘Freekstyle’ – although he admits to
never having played it! He also never watches TV as it’s ‘bad
for you’, and instead prefers painting, skateboarding, BMX,
and of course riding his bike out back of his ‘Paradise Ranch’.
That’s as long as he’s not suffering from one of many injuries, including three broken backs, two broken femurs, and multiple arm and leg breaks. And when he’s not in hospital for himself, the Godfather of motocross switches gears to visit terminally ill kids.
Mike believes that “dying is a risk we take every day, whether we are riding or not”, and it’s his perspective and passion that drives him to succeed in whatever he does.

The Impossible Jump?

Not for the Godfather of Freestyle. Mike Metzger puts his name in the Guinness Book of World Records by becoming the first to backflip over the fountains of Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. Metzger also became the second person to ever (successfully) jump the fountains of Caesar's Palace—over 100 feet—, Robbie Knievel being the first in 1989

One of my favorite videos is "FMX Riot 2"

I was filmed in one of my favorite spots to go

"Swingarm City" near Caineville Utah.

Mike Metzger, who won the first FMX Riot

competition was in the lead in the second one

until he had to leave a day early to talk to some kids

at a school function. His freeride ability impresses

me even more than his ability to do tricks!
