Jessi is motor bike mad (well both boys are, but we don't let Kodi race due to his age and the fact that he is so accident prone and has no fear!) He has ridden a bike since he was 18 months old. A motorbike with training wheels but still a motorbike. Jess races once every fortnight at the local motorcross track. He raced his first competition grass track race in the begining of 2006 and even though he did'nt place he was given a medalion for encouragement. And encourage him it did! In June this year he partnered one of his prep classmates, Tarryn Wright in the annual Nhill Pony Express and even though they raced against bigger kids on the same size bikes as theirs they placed third and were awarded with lovely trophies. (Anthony raced as well but failed to finish let alone place, so you can imagine how much Jess ribbed him about his trophy!) The pride Jess showed in his face when given his prize was just priceless! Definately one of the proudest moments in my life.
