WORDS: RANDY FAUL
Off and Running
As I write this on the Monday after our first hare scramble of the season, I am still smiling. It was great to see everyone again, full of excitement and enthusiasm to kick things off. Last month, I talked about the importance of taking time to welcome and help our new members as they learn the ropes. Little did I know I would get the chance to do exactly that before Round 1 even arrived.
A few weeks earlier, I received a message: “My boy wants to try racing.”
I have known this family for a long time. They live a couple of miles from me, and years ago some of the family would ride with the younger kids. Well, those “kids” are now parents with kids of their own, and their little ones have been riding around the pasture and woods just for fun. What I did not know was that one of them, Tatum, really wanted to try a hare scramble.
So we got to work. Between memberships, minor releases, pre-entry, and getting the correct bike numbers, we had everything squared away before
race day, smooth and simple.
After they parked on race morning, we talked through the basics and what to expect. Then Tatum headed out for practice. He came back with a huge smile, full of energy and enthusiasm, which gave us time to do a little studying before his “exam.”
We covered arrows, trail awareness, looking ahead, fuel stops, and several other key points. We practiced starts and made a few adjustments. The whole time, this kid was dialed in. He soaked up information like a sponge, smiling ear to ear and itching to get going. For someone who had only ridden around the yard and pasture, he showed incredible focus and retention. Even practicing starts on a stand, something he had never done before, he nailed them.
Race time came. The only goal was simple: get his feet wet, stay safe, and come back with a smile, even if it was just one lap.
When the horn sounded, that kid ripped the holeshot and led into the first corner. His dad and
grandfather were standing there watching, and let me tell you, it was a moment. Granddad was shaking so badly with excitement that he could hardly hold the camera steady.
The fuel stop went smoothly, and when the checkered flag waved, Tatum had earned a second-place trophy on his first attempt.
It has been a long time since I have been this involved in helping a brandnew racer through their first event, and it made my entire weekend. The pure joy radiating from that kid was worth every minute spent on the phone, at the track, and walking him through the basics. His debut is something he will remember for years.
Teaching someone new takes time, but seeing a kid discover our sport while smiling and laughing the entire day makes it absolutely worth it.
Congratulations to all the Beginner 1 riders, and a huge shoutout to Tatum Cooper for putting it on the podium in his very first race.
Thanks for listening, Randy Faul

WORDS: RODNEY BOYETTE X
Hey FTR family! What an amazing season we are already having! There are so many well-earned victories to be grateful for. Not all victories mean you come home with trophies. For a lot of us, victory looks like making three laps, pulling off a holeshot no one saw coming, getting back up from a crash, or even limping your machine back to the pits to fix it so you can push through and finish the race. For us parents, sometimes the biggest victory is simply making it to the race safely with our families and having enough spare tires for the camper (ask me how I know, haha).
However, we all have a victory far greater than any trophy or successful race weekend. We have the ultimate victory over death and sin. How, you ask? It is not by our own efforts or the work of our hands, but solely through the one true Son of
¡Hola, familia de FTR! ¡Qué temporada tan increíble estamos teniendo! Tantas victorias
bien merecidas por las que estar agradecidos. No todas las victorias significan volver a casa con trofeos. Para muchos de nosotros, la victoria fue completar tres vueltas, lograr una salida inesperada, recuperarse de una caída fuerte, o incluso llevar la moto a duras penas de vuelta al mecánico para arreglarla y poder regresar y terminar la carrera. Para nosotros, los padres, el hecho de haber llegado a la carrera sanos y salvos con nuestras familias y tener suficientes neumáticos de repuesto para el camper es la mejor victoria (¡pregúntenme cómo lo sé, ja, ja!). Sin embargo, todos tenemos una victoria mucho mayor que cualquier trofeo o fin de semana exitoso. Tenemos la victoria definitiva sobre la muerte y el pecado.
God, Jesus Christ. The best part is that you cannot earn it. Ephesians 2:9 says, “This (salvation by grace) is not a result of works, so that no one can boast.” There is no amount of pro-rider training, no big-bore kits, and no amount of money that can give you this victory. It comes only from a willing and humbled heart. Romans 10:9 says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” There are no tricks required, no cleaning yourself up first, and no needing to go to church before you are allowed to believe. It is simply telling God, “I do not have all the answers, but I choose to believe in You,” because the evidence shows He is true and faithful. God sent His Son into the world as the living embodiment of Himself, and Jesus took the sin we carried onto Himself so that we
¿Cómo?, te preguntarás. Pues bien, ciertamente no es por nuestros esfuerzos ni por el trabajo de nuestras manos, sino únicamente a través del único y verdadero Hijo de Dios, Jesucristo. Lo mejor de todo es que no se puede ganar. Efesios 2:9 dice: “Esto (la salvación por gracia) no es por obras, para que nadie se gloríe (hablando con excesivo orgullo y autosatisfacción)”. No hay nivel de entrenamiento de piloto profesional, ni cambios a la moto, ni cantidad de dinero que te dará la victoria aquí. Solo un corazón sumiso y humilde. Como dice Romanos 10:9: “Si confiesas con tu boca que Jesucristo es el Señor, y crees en tu corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvo”. No hay que hacer malabarismos, ni purificarse previamente, ni ir a la iglesia. Simplemente se trata de decirle a Dios:
could be heirs with God in heaven for all eternity. We love you guys and cannot wait to see you soon. Come visit us at the FUEL tent at vendors. Nine Square will be set up and games will be going Saturday night. If anyone needs to talk or would like prayer, please stop by or grab us anytime you see us.

TRYING SOMETHING NEW
WORDS: KURT LUCAS PHOTOS: TYLER MILLER
It all started with peer pressure.
For months, Nick Doerr had been trying to convince me to do a mountain bike race. I kept dodging him with excuses like too busy or I don’t want to embarrass myself on a bicycle.I finally ran out of excuses, and one night he sends me a link to register for Gone Riding FSC #5 at Loyce Harpe Park in Lakeland. Before I could talk myself out of it, I was signed up.
For context, I have technically “raced” one mountain bike event before, but it was on an e-MTB. This time I would be on
a regular bike or what cyclists smugly refer to as an analog bike. I bought the thing over a year ago with dreams of cross-training and becoming “that mountain bike guy.” In the year since, I had ridden it approximately four times. So, naturally, I decided my first real effort on it should be a two-lap, twelve-mile mountain bike race. What could possibly go wrong?
Race morning felt strangely familiar with nervous energy, checking tire pressure sixty times, convincing myself I didn’t need to warm up. Then, I started recogniz
ing faces. What I thought would be a random MTB event turned out to be a low-key FTR takeover. Nick was there, obviously. But so were Jesse Ansley, Adam Cohen, Carlos Allen, and even Mark Cox ripping around in the Youth class. Tyler Miller was there behind the camera capturing everyone’s misery and triumph. Seeing FTR people took the edge off.
When the race started, instinct took over. Years of dead-engine starts and sprinting to the first corner kicked in. I took off like it was a hare scramble holeshot sprinting full send, out
of the saddle, passing people left and right. For ninety seconds, I felt like I might actually be good at this. Then, reality kicked me square in the chest. Mountain bike racing demands steady, calculated effort and I had already spent my entire energy budget in less than a mile. I blew up early, and it was obvious.
A few miles later came the crash. I clipped a root, the bike stopped, and I didn’t. I hit the ground so hard it knocked the wind out of me. Here’s what I learned in that moment: crashing a mountain bike hurts worse than crashing a dirt bike. There’s no moto gear to soften the blow. It’s just you, the dirt, and the immediate regret of all your life choices.
The rest of the race was survival. Every climb felt like a hill repeat punishment drill, and every
descent reminded me that bicycles respond way differently than a dirt bike. I watched Jesse and Adam rip through the course like it was nothing. Nick, of course, looked like he was out for a scenic Sunday pedal because that’s what happens when you know how to pace yourself. I crossed the line dead last in the Clydesdale class, which is essentially the “big boy” division. Nick took 1st place in Clydesdale, because he apparently enjoys adding insult to injury. Jesse finished 13th in XC2 and 4th in eMTB Expert, Adam grabbed 5th in eMTB Expert, Carlos took 6th in eMTB 50+, and little ripper Mark Cox finished 3rd in Youth (3–5). Even in cycling, FTR shows up and shows out.
Despite the suffering, the crash, and the ego check of finishing last, something unexpected happened: I had a blast. The
atmosphere felt a lot like a hare scramble with families, coolers, tools spread out on tailgates. The same competitive fire, the same adrenaline, just a different kind of noise. Instead of the smell of premix and race gas, it was chain lube and electrolyte gummies. But at the core, it was the same feeling: a bunch of people who love pushing themselves outside their comfort zone.
I went into the race thinking I was trying something new. I left realizing that mountain biking is just another version of why we all race in the first place: to challenge ourselves, to learn, to suffer a little, and to walk away with a story.
And if you see me line up for another one?
Just know Nick talked me into it again.

Why Every Racer Should Consider a CT Calcium Score
Hey Moto fam,
We throw down in the woods, over whoops, through ruts, flying off jumps, and our bodies take it. But there’s one system we don’t always give enough credit to: the cardiopulmonary system—your heart and lungs. And here’s the kicker: heart disease is still the #1 killer in the U.S..
Riding quads or dirt bikes is physically demanding: high heart rate, vibration, rapid loading/unloading, adrenaline surges, and lots of repeated stress. You may think you’re covered because you train hard, but silent plaque buildup in your coronary arteries doesn’t care how many motos you’ve done. That’s where a little thing called the CT Calcium Score test (also called a coronary artery calcium scan or CAC scan) comes into play.
What the Test Is & What It Tells You
The CT Calcium Score is a non-invasive CT scan that takes about 5 minutes (you lie on the table, a brief scan, and it's done). It looks for calcified plaque—the hardened, mineralized bits in the coronary arteries caused by atherosclerosis. The result is a numerical score that helps you and your doctor assess the amount of plaque present and your risk of a major cardiac event.
Here’s what the score means roughly:
Score 0 = no detectable calcified plaque - very low risk of near-term heart attack.
Score 1–100 = mild plaque present - elevated risk compared to zero.
Score > 100 (especially over 300-400) = moderate to high plaque burden - high risk of adverse cardiac events.
Why Early Detection Is Crucial for Racers
You may feel invincible when you ride, but here’s the deal: many guys (and gals) with high plaque scores have no symptoms—yet the plaque is still there, quietly increasing risk. One major study showed the CAC test strongly predicted death or heart attack over 15 years in asymptomatic patients.
For racers, consider this:
Your heart is under real load during motos (high output, high demand).
If your coronary arteries are compromised (even modestly), you have less reserve when you need it most. A sudden cardiac event mid-race or while riding is catastrophic—not only for you but your team and family.
Catching plaque early means you can intervene (life-
floridatrailriders.com
style, statins, BP control, maybe even stent placement) before the big event happens.
My Personal Experience
I had the test done this year—cost me $99 out-of-pocket (yes, insurance typically doesn’t cover it). And I’m telling you: for under a hundred bucks, getting that snapshot of your coronary health is absolutely worth it. I was able to discuss lifestyle tweaks, risk factors, and get ahead of things.
What It Can Lead To
If your score is zero - great, keep riding, keep training smart, but repeat testing in a few years may be wise.
If your score is elevated - opens the door to so many options: medication (statins, aggressive lipid control), blood pressure/diabetes management, lifestyle modifications (diet, sleep, stress), and potentially imaging or referral for interventional cardiology (yes, stents before a heart attack!).
For riders: balancing training, racing, recovery, and heart health becomes part of your “race prep”—because your cardiovascular system is your engine, not just your legs and arms.
In Summary:
Don’t wait until symptoms show up (because often, you’ll be too late). Everyone over the age of 30 should get this test done, especially if you have any family history of heart disease or high blood pressure.
A 5-minute, non-invasive CT Calcium Score test provides actionable information.
As a racer, with your body under fire every moto, screening your heart health is just smart business. Get the data, get ahead of plaque, and ride long, ride strong, ride smart.
Be ruthless in protecting your only heart

ALORA Riding Tips with Alex Lugar
Hey everyone, I hope you are having a great season so far. For this entry I want to talk about one of the biggest things that separates pro riders from your average rider: line selection. As a fan of anything related to dirt bikes, I watch a lot of racing videos online. Some of my absolute favorites are the on-board helmet cams from the top riders. Whenever I watch those videos, I am almost always in awe of one thing. Their line selection. Whether they move over a couple of feet to set up a corner or completely leave the main line and create their own trail, pro riders are on a different level when it comes to reading terrain.
Like most skills in dirt bike riding, a lot of this comes with experience. However, that does not mean you cannot work on it. One of my favorite ways to improve is simply free riding. Places like Croom or open riding parks are great for this. Riding down unfamiliar trails and putting yourself in situations that force you to look ahead and choose your line is an easy and fun way to practice.
Another way to improve your ability to read trail is racing enduros. Many of you already race them, but if you do not, you are missing out on one of the most challenging forms of racing. The skills you learn in enduros translate extremely well to hare scrambles. Some of you may not like hearing that because you say you are “not an enduro guy,” but I promise it is worth trying a full season. I guarantee you will see improvement in your other races as a result.
When it comes to reading trail and line selection, two things matter most: looking ahead and thinking ahead. When you are riding through a section, always look into the next corner or obstacle. A good rule of thumb is to look 30 to 40 percent ahead in corners, and even farther down the trail on straightaways. Looking ahead gives your brain more time to process what is coming, which gives you more time to react. When we look ahead, we can set up corners earlier, avoid obstacles, and plan our approach to the next section. This is where the thinking ahead comes in. Having a plan, even if the decisions are split-second and do not always go perfectly, is
important. If you are staring at your front fender, you will not see any lines and you will not be able to set up for what is coming.
Another thing to consider on race day is taking your time during practice or while walking or pedaling a track. Look for different line options. Maybe there is a safer line in a section that tends to bottleneck or a line that helps straighten out a set of corners. Having multiple options can absolutely save your race. Nobody wants to be the rider who misses the obvious line and gets passed. One thing I have noticed from time spent around some of the top riders is that they always think ahead about how a line affects the next section. A line might be slightly slower through one corner, but if it sets you up better for the next corner and allows you to carry more speed, you will make up that time and possibly gain even more over multiple turns. Always think two or three corners ahead.
Better line selection can help save time, make passes easier, and help you carry more speed. It also conserves energy. This might be the biggest benefit of getting off the main line. Alternative lines are usually smoother. Even if a line is slightly slower in a particular spot, if it saves energy or prevents a mistake that could happen in the main line, it is usually worth taking. That saved energy can be used later in the race to pass riders who have been pounding the rough main line and are more fatigued.
Learning to read trail and spot lines is something no rider ever completely masters. Sometimes it really does come down to inches. For many riders, improving this one skill could make a huge difference. Next time you are on the track, practice different lines, even if they are slower at first, and force yourself to think about how you are setting up each section.
As always, best of luck at the races. For more tips and tricks, follow @alexlugaroffroadacademy on social media. See you at the track.

The season is off to a great start. I love being back at the races. However, after a few rounds it is already time to start throwing some parts at the bike. Bike is going to need an oil change with oil filter. It may be time for some new brake pads. My bike is a year old so I had to put in some new clutch plates. If you are like me, you order some of these wear items early when you are ordering other parts. If you are also like me, you forget you ordered them and order a new set when you need them and still have that spare set sitting in a box in the garage.
In investing, we like to use a term called lazy money. Lazy money is money that has been sitting in that bank account earning nothing for years at a time with no purpose. It’s there. You don’t really think about it. It’s just in the back of your mind. However, if you could put that money to work, you might be surprised how much interest you could earn each year on your lazy money.
Fixed rates are still high from the interest rate changes back in 2022. However, there is a lot of buzz about lowering rates soon. If you are looking for a higher rate for your lazy money, we might able to help. Give my office a call to schedule a 15-minute phone call at 813-502-1228.
