Well everyone...I made it back to a D23 race for the first time in forever. I miss everyone and was so happy to be back. I saw ALOT of new faces, but also a lot of familiar. I want to thank Echo Valley Motocross Park for hosting such an amazing weekend of racing. It was GREAT to be back. :)

I wouldn't say I am officially back taking photos, but it felt great to be back out on the track. You might see me around this summer again in the Minnesota/Wisconsin region.

Update for 2021: In January, my mom was diagnosed with liver cancer, in which I moved back home to South Dakota shortly after the diagnosis. That being said, I will not be taking photos in 2021. And as much as I hate to say it, I may not be returning in general.

I want to thank everyone for the support over the past 11 years. The motocross community has been a blessing to be around and it saddens me that I need to step away, especially from my Minnesota crew. It has been a great experience and I am thankful to have met so many amazing people.

Thanks again,
Samantha
