Big thanks to Michelin, Vanmar racing, my teammates at youngblood racing, Bri at Xbam, And my dad.
these guys really helped me out this year big time.
-these michelin tires never stopped working the way i wanted them to.
-Vanmar for repeatedly being there for me whenever i needed anything.
-My teammates for always tellin me what i was doin wrong : P reminding me to ride smart.
-Bri.. she is the shit, any cramps, knots, arm pump, tightness.. she made them go away.. her hands work some magic for sure.
-my dad for always helpin me with my suspension. Thanks to him we have settings for almost every track.

and how could i forget my lovely wife Jackie, for putting up with my shit all year long and keeping me feed and hydrated on race weekends, cuz somehow i forget to do these things : P

Man, sure sounds like he has it dialed in!

yeah took my father and I about 2 good full track days to figure out what the front/rear end was doing and which direction to go to make it feel better. Changes in the front not only made it feel worse/better but it also changed the rear as well.
My father and I both learned alot about suspension this year and we didnt have any money to get ohlins stuff, so we ran with what we could afford and made it work.
the front end is stock except for 1 1.0wt spring and 1 .90wt spring.
the rear we went with a double clicker penske shock that we couch dove for $400 over the winter.

Anyone who has had the time to be around Cromer will see that he is a class act, congrats again

[Moto-Mania]

I would like to add my 2 cents to the chorus of praise for Erik Cromer.
From what I've seen, Erik is a class act, good man, and a good husband who just happens to know how to ride a motorbike really fast.
Let's not forget that Erik started off the season with a dislocated patella and other issues that he overcame en route to his record 4 championships.
I like this guy - almost enough to make up for the jealously I feel at his overabundance of talent.

Congratulations, Erik.
You earned it.

[cromer611]

thank you guys so much for your comments : )
ugh i guess i have to get a suit for the banquet. or is it gonna be my fav style of chill?

[auzzy]

[Wild Cheetah 612]

And don't ya'll forget, Cromer was MY student at race school and I taught him everything he knows!

[loujr]
