Brett Cole: March 2008

Much has happened since Thanksgiving. We all enjoyed time together during the holidays and welcomed the New Year.

Brett continues to show great progress in all areas. He has become quite the accomplished dirt biker. We recently spent a fun day at Highland Park in Georgia where Brett amazed us with his ability to ride many of the difficult trails.

Here is an excerpt from a recent web post along with a few pictures.

FBRs, ………….
“One of my favorite things to do is watch (and help if I can) riders learn new skills and learn to enjoy riding off-road. Everyone was grinning for most of the day and watching fellow FBR's branch out into something new, do it so well, and have so much fun made for a very special day.”
…………
“But the two that I was most impressed with were the Cole boys. Brett's dad, David, looked a bit like a monkey on a football with his tall frame folded up on Brett's old TTR225. I think this was his first time in the dirt too. Because he was too tall for the bike, he could not get his weight forward enough on the climbs and had a hard time keeping the front wheel down long enough to steer. But he never gave up or demonstrated anything but a huge dose of enthusiasm for being out riding with his son. What a great sport he is, not to mention a great dad. All he needs is a bigger dirt bike and some more saddle time.

That brings me to Brett. Words cannot describe what I saw Saturday. This young man's riding ability is beyond impressive. He handled everything we tried and every time I looked at him to see if he was OK, he gave me a look that seemed to say "OK, what else you got?" Did I mention that I love riding with these guys. “
