Candi, would you please send this out to the riders on your list.



Jeremy would like to thank ever one for the encouraging e-mails. They were

unexpected and have meant a lot to him. Oregon is a great place to race

bikes and the reason is the great people.



Jeremy has made the World Team for Observed Trials. He will only be able

to do the Junior events ecause the UCI will not allow a 17 year old to

compete in the Elite class no matter how good he is.



We have just done the Sea Otter, with many of the top Pros from around the

world. Jeremy tied for 4th on his stock bike, but lost in a tie braker and

placed 5th. He was very happy because he beat the number 6th and 9th rider

in the World. He was within in a few points of two other top 10 riders.

He decided to borrow a bike and try doing the Pro Mod class. This is on a

bike he had only spent two hours on in his life. The class did not have as

many top world class pros in it and he placed 4th overall. This was very

exciting for him!!!



We have learned that Jeremy can now do the Junior World Championships in

the Stock class and the Mod class. His only problem now is getting a mod

bike. Airbomb.com can not afford to send him to Spain and buy him a mod

bike. Jeremy does not have enough money for a mod bike and is looking for

some one willing to sponsor him with a mod bike. The bike (at cost) is 850

dollars. If anyone has any ideas about possible sponsors please contact

us.



Jeremy received encouragement from several of the top European Pro riders.

They told him he actually could possibly win a medal at the Worlds. In

fact they said he was the best Junior rider they had seen. Coming from

them, Jeremy was very pumped.



Thanks again for the email letters they mean more than you can believe!!!



Jim and Wendy VanSchoonhoven
