Have you noticed how well the 2nd year riders (class of 06) are representing. Adam E, Bryan H, Austin H, Brad Smeele, Nick Jones (injured), Brett Lee. I can't remember a class that had so many guys on tour. I can't remember any other group doing so well. <BR> <BR>What rookies are riding well this year? I can't think of any. Who is riding on tour from the class of 05? Rathey. Who else?

Roger, you forget 2nd year rider Robby Carter, came into Forth Worth ranked 14th. Rookies this year, watch Kyle Alberts and Alex Hembrick

Yes-= Robbie. Makes the class even better. 6 riders, 5 on tour. Nick would be if not hurt. Alezx Hembrick? Doesn't ring a bell. Forgot about Kyle A. Is that Hamrick? I know he has been hurt and I don't think he qualified. That makes only Kyle? That should make rookie of the year pretty easy. Adam E ran away with it last year but there were 3 or 4 other guys who who would have been good candidates other years. Especially Hair and Hutton and maybe Jones.

Kyle is the front runner for sure, but don't count Alex Hamrick out just yet, kid has game.

If I remember correctly, Kyle Alberts was down here at the Southwest VA boat show at the first rail jam in the state. Pretty good stuff, and I love his section in Updog. Can't wait to see more from him.
