Our government has banned the
sale of dirt bikes and 4 wheelers for kids under the age of 13!
The parts for those bikes are banned, too. Blake and millions of
other kids all over the country won't be able to replace worn or
broken parts for their bikes while this absurd law is in effect.
Please help Blake and all the other kids across America by
following the link below to communicate with your senators and
congressman about this issue.
Blake,
friends, and family had fun racing at Outlaw MX Ranch in
Millbrook, AL. We arrived on Fri evening so Blake could practice
on Saturday and after a few laps feeling out the track, he began
throwing down some great laps. The Outlaw track is a supercross
style with several rhythm sections of doubles and triples. After
dialing in his suspension and making a sprocket change, Blake
felt ready for the race on Sunday.
Saturday night Blake celebrated his
birthday at his grandmother's house with beef on weck and
homemade sundaes. We all enjoyed some great racing on Sunday.
Blake challenged much more experienced riders all day and
advanced two positions from the first moto to the 2nd. We all
had fun hanging out with friends and enjoying the beautiful
weather.
Blake's 3rd race of the CAM series is at Noah's MX Park so come

A MONSTER GETS
LOOSE AT NOAH'S MX
The AMSOIL/iProsper.net Monster
Kawasaki KX65 was let loose Sat & Sun and it left its tracks all
over Noah's MX Park! After a couple warm up laps, Blake settled
in on his new bike and began airing it out on several table tops
and only a couple hours after we arrived he was hitting one of
the doubles.
Blake had the track to himself Sat
afternoon and early Sun morning, but some friends showed up
later and the riding was fun to watch. When asked if he liked
his new KX Blake replied "You bet" and hit the track again.

were getting some good air off a couple small jumps by the days
end.

BLAKE'S
SURPRISED WITH NEW 2009 KAWASAKI KX65 MONSTER EDITION
Blake popped into the garage to
find a new resident of our two wheel family, a brand new 2009
KX65 Monster Edition, a limited edition Monster Energy model
with black plastics, Monster graphics, green hubs, green rear
spring, and more. An early birthday present, Blake was surprised
to see it. This will allow him to move up
to the 65cc 7-9 class and ride with his friends Cody, Alex,
Chappel, and others.
A 65 is the first bike most kids
ride with a real hand clutch and 6 gears. It'll take some
getting used to, but Blake's nearing the big time with this
bike. He'll be jumping higher, cornering faster, and ripping up
the terrain of Alabama soon!

was an exciting banquet with lots of door prizes, huge trophies,
and friends we'd not seen since the end of the '08 season.

18. Blake scored 10
points and Blake's friend, Austin, led the

and hustled the entire game.
Blake is looking forward to
playing the TrailBlazers next week.
Blake and his Grizzly teammates played a great first game vs the
Nets. Blake made
some great shots and the entire team moved the
ball really well. Great passing,
excellent defense, and great
sportsmanship were on display during the entire game.

NEVER TOO COLD
FOR MX! BLAKE & FRIENDS PRACTICE AT NOAH'S IN FREEZING COLD!
Blake,
his dad, and Matt Ward braved the freezing weather (it dropped
into the low 20's) and camped overnight at Noah's MX Park so
they could be the first riders on the track. They started riding
at 8:00 am and had to scrape the ice off their seats. The track
was good and after the corners thawed out it got even better.
Blake made some great runs on his
KTM and hit an uphill double and got real close to hitting a
couple others. Blake's dad hit a couple doubles and Matt Ward
hit a few doubles, too.
Everyone had a great time
and can't wait to return!
Blake plans to make many more trips to Noah's MX and other
tracks during the off-season to get better, faster, and higher!
Keep an eye out for the #88 KTM. It just might be passing you!

BLAKE WINS 2nd
PLACE & 3rd PLACE OVERALL SEASON POINTS IN CAMS '08 OUTDOOR
SERIES
Blake rode hard all season and
faced some stiff competition! After racing the CAMS circuit and
visiting 3 tracks on multiple dates throughout '08, braving the
cold and the 100° summer weather, rain and mud, Blake has locked
down an overall 2nd place podium and 3rd place podium!
Blake only rode in the Open
4-Stroke class for part of the '08 season and still finished 2nd
overall! The only bike faster than him was a KLX110 with an
engine twice the size of Blake's and ridden by a much older, and
more experienced rider. Blake displayed some great skill
competing in this class and everyone that watched him race
couldn't believe he was riding a 50cc bike and beating 70's,
90's, and 110's. He did great!
The 50cc Entry class was a tough
class in '08! Blake competed against several experienced riders
and every race was a hard fought battle! Blake quickly entered a
season points race with two other riders and Blake traded
positions with them from race to race. Unfortunately, Blake's
commitments to his baseball and football teams caused him to
miss several races that handicapped his season points standings.
Despite that, Blake earned the 3rd place podium for overall
season points and had a huge lead over the next place rider.
Blake had a great 2008 outdoor
season in the CAMS series! Finishing 2nd & 3rd in his first
season of racing is pretty impressive! He faced riders every
race with multiple years of riding experience and Blake never
backed down. He's become faster every race, every lap, every
turn and made some great friends! He looks forward to racing in
select events of the '08/'09 Arenacross season and practicing
for the '09 CAMS circuit.
Blake and his team could not have
had such a great season without the help of AMSOIL,
StogieOil.com,
and
iProsper.net! The support of these companies
were
integral in the success of the '08 season. Please visit their
sites, purchase some products/services, and tell 'em to keep
supporting Blake Ander and the KTM #88 and Honda #88!

BLAKE WINS
HOLESHOT AND 2ND
PLACE & 4TH PLACE PODIUMS AT NOAH'S MX
Blake hosted some friends for a
great end of the '08 CAMS season! The track looked great, the
weather was beautiful, and Blake's KTM was running
again...RUNNING FAST!
Blake finished 2nd in the first moto
of the Open 4-Stroke class beating much bigger bikes! He then
won the holeshot and lead the majority of the first moto of the
50cc Entry class race until passed late in the race to finish
2nd. Then, in his first race on his KTM in a long time, Blake
threw down some fast laps, jumped huge, and rode hard!
In the 2nd set of motos, Blake rode
hard to finish 2nd in the Open 4-Stroke class and had engine
issues that knocked him out of the 50cc Entry class moto. The
DNF forced him into last place in the 2nd moto and caused him to
fall to the 4th place podium position. Blake had a great
attitude about the situation and said he had a lot of fun!
The weekend was a success! Blake
finished the season strong and introduced a new family to
motocross! Blake can't wait until his first Arenacross race and
first CAMS race of '09! Click here to view pics

BLAKE WINS 2ND
PLACE & 2ND PLACE AT NOAH'S MX
Blake and his parents enjoyed a
great weekend of racing! After much time and hard work, Noah had
the track looking great! Blake took advantage right away by
finishing 2nd in the first moto of the Open 4-Stroke class.
Next, Blake fought hard in the first moto of the 50cc Entry
class and finished 2nd there, too.
Blake's lap times sped up in both of
the 2nd sets of motos where he finished 2nd in the Open 4-Stroke
class and 2nd in the 50cc Entry class to lock down the 2nd place
podium in both classes!
Blake's perfecting his aggressive
riding position, proper use of gear shifting, and his cornering
looks really good! He's come a long way in the '08 season. Look
for him at select races of the 08/09 Arenacross series!

BLAKE WINS 2ND
PLACE, 2ND PLACE, AND SPORTS NEW GRAPHICS AT NOAH'S MX
Blake displayed great riding skill
and ability at Noah's MX! He rode a great race in the Open
4-Stroke Class. He faced almost a dozen riders and Blake rode
the smallest bike in the race and finished ahead of 4 bikes
twice as large as his to finish 2nd in both motos! He jumped
bigger and cornered better every lap!
The 50cc Entry motos were tough with
the usual fight between Logan, Hayson, and Blake. Blake finished
3rd in the first moto with only a bike length or two separating
all 3 bikes. In the 2nd moto, Blake rode right on Logan's heels
all day in the 2nd place spot and Blake and Hayson traded the
2nd & 3rd place positions a few times. They all fought hard and
Blake regained the 2nd place spot in the last turn of the last
lap to finish 2nd and claim the 2nd place overall podium spot.
Blake rode with new black plastics
and new DCS black graphics that make his bike look tough! The
skulls are sick!
Blake is currently 2nd in overall
season points in the Open 4-Stroke class (this is against bikes
of up to 150cc's, 3x as big as Blake's!) and 3rd and closing in
on 2nd in overall points for the 50cc Entry class. Blake's
football & baseball have caused him to miss some races or he'd
be ranked even higher! Blake likes to give the other riders at
least a chance against him!!!

Blake had a great day of racing at
Crossbones MX. He led the first moto of the 50cc Entry Class
until a lapped rider went down in front of him and caused a pile
up. Blake fought hard to finish 2nd. He then raced on the heals
of the points leader in the second moto and finished another
strong 2nd to place 2nd overall in the 50cc Entry Class.
Blake had a tough first moto of the
Open 4-Stroke Class by going down a few times and not finishing
well. He fought back in the second moto to finish 2nd and won

of it. They scored first with 40 seconds left in the first half.
A long touchdown run put 6 points on
the board.
The Bills came alive in the 2nd half
scoring 22 points! One touchdown from a run and two from passes
got the entire team involved. Blake passed for 14 points and ran
the ball to earn a 2 point conversion. The Bills defense
shutdown the Vikings holding them to just one touchdown. Blake
earned a sack and knocked down a few passes.

Faith Racers MX Ministry put on a
great mx school! Andre and Chris instructed Blake and his dad,
Matt, along with other riders on correct cornering, jumping,
riding woops, faster starts, proper physical fitness, and the
right mental preparation.
Despite the heat, everyone had fun
and logged a lot of track time. Blake's rolling a lot faster in

of the first 50cc Entry moto but fought back to place 2nd! Then
in the 2nd moto he won the holeshot and was leading the race
when his chain came off. He continued to have problems with his
chain and fought hard to finish strong and place 4th overall.
Blake then rode hard in the Open
4-Stroke class against much bigger bikes. He placed 3rd after
fighting off some great competition.
Blake had a great night on his

IN 11th 2008 RACE OF THE CAM SERIES AT HOLESHOT MX PARK ON JULY
13th, 2008
Blake rode strong in virtually
impossible conditions at Holeshot MX. After 2 days of raining
the track was a muddy mess and when the rain returned in the
middle of the first Open 4-Stroke moto the track became
unridable. Blake's bike got stuck mud 3 feet deep and the race
was called before completion. Racers were scored where they were
at that time and Blake finished 4th. He was upset because he
believed he'd could have passed a few more riders.
The conditions for the 50cc Entry
class moto were even worse and it was decided the racers would
run an abbreviated course. Blake won the holeshot and was on his
way to winning when his front wheel became packed with mud and
wouldn't turn. He literally pushed his bike across the line to
win 3rd placed. What a mess!

BLAKE WINS HOLESHOT & EARNS A PODIUM FINISH
IN
FIRST 2008 RACE OF THE CAMS SERIES
Blake
has begun the 2008 Central Alabama Motocross Series with a great
podium placement! Blake raced the first race of '08 at Noah's
Motosports Park and competed in 3 different classes. He won the
holeshot in one race and secured a podium spot in another! His
sponsor, AMSOIL and
Stogieoil.com, was on hand and Blake did not
disappoint. He rode hard all day and had a lot of fun.
Blake, his dad, and their friend, Matt Ward, have been
tearing up a couple tracks near Gordo, AL the last
couple of months. The track is pretty cool. It has a
motocross track, a supercross track, and a decent kids
track. Blake tired of the kids track the first day and
is now blowing up the two adult tracks. He likes the
jumps on the supercross track and the table tops and
doubles on the MX track. Check out the two videos! View
a bunch of pics
here.
About half way through the day of filming
the Flight Training movie, Blake's dad, Matt, broke his ankle
and injured his
shoulder. Though slowed down by a cast, he's
doing fine and looks forward to riding again real soon. View a
bunch of pics

Blake's
racing motocross and is doing great. He's raced in 3 different
races and 15 total motos. He's placed strong and is getting
faster and jumping bigger in every race. Check Blake's motocross
pics

Blake rides his Honda XR50
dirt bike often at a nearby field and at tracks in Montgomery,
Birmingham, Maplesville, and Gordo . He's quite the rider now
and though Dad has a dirtbike too, its still not easy keeping up
with him.
Blake and some friends from baseball
(Austin Yerby, Jackson Elder, and Avery Elliott) had fun at the
Havana/Stewart Rodeo. They competed in the Mutton Bustin'
competition and had lots of fun (see the video to the left).
Watch for these talented cowboys on the National Mutton Bustin'
tour!
They saw barrel
racing, mustang riding, bull riding, calf roping, and one crazy
clown!
"My Sponsor! Please Buy Some
Oil So I Can Keep Riding!" - Blake
Blake,
friends, and family had fun racing at Outlaw MX Ranch in
Millbrook, AL. We arrived on Fri evening so Blake could practice
on Saturday and after a few laps feeling out the track, he began
throwing down some great laps. The Outlaw track is a supercross
style with several rhythm sections of doubles and triples. After
dialing in his suspension and making a sprocket change, Blake
felt ready for the race on Sunday.
Blake
started the '09 season strong at Noah's MX Park on March 8th.
After competing against several tough competitors in the 65 7-9
class, Blake rode the Ander Racing Monster Energy Kawasaki well
in both motos and had fun hanging out with friends between
races.

Ander Racing Monster
Kawasaki KX65 received a make-over with a new set of custom
graphics, complete with Blake's nickname on the side number
plates. The monster is sure to go faster and fly higher with
these sick new graphics.

race at the next
race, so come hang out with us and watch the Monster eat the
competition!
Blake couldn't enjoy a new
bike and all the other expenses that go along with a
full MX season without his sponsors:
to the 65cc 7-9 class and ride with his friends Cody, Alex,
Chappel, and others.
It
was an exciting banquet with lots of door prizes, huge trophies,
and friends we'd not seen since the end of the '08 season.
Blake,
his dad, and Matt Ward braved the freezing weather (it dropped
into the low 20's) and camped overnight at Noah's MX Park so
they could be the first riders on the track. They started riding
at 8:00 am and had to scrape the ice off their seats. The track
was good and after the corners thawed out it got even better.
Blake plans to make many more trips to Noah's MX and other
tracks during the off-season to get better, faster, and higher!
Keep an eye out for the #88 KTM. It just might be passing you!

Blake raced
in the Open 4-Stroke, the 50cc Entry and the Open 50cc Classes
at Holeshot MX and won a podium in all three! He placed 2nd
in the first 50cc Entry moto after winning the holeshot and
leading the majority of the race until taking a spill late in
the race. In the second 50cc Entry moto Blake jumped out front
early and only lost his lead in the last turn while being held
up by a lapped rider. He rode hard in the Open 4-Stroke race and
beat several bikes with engine sizes over 20cc's bigger to place
2nd!
Blake then rode hard in the Open 50cc
Class and took 3rd place on his KTM after a few crashes on a
slick track.
