The flight over to the US was pretty slick. I managed to get us all upgraded to World Traveller Plus, which was a right treat. Loads of leg room and wider seats too......good times!!!! Watched a couple films on the way over, Couples Retreat which was pretty funny and easy to watch. The 2nd was 'he's just not that into you' again funny in places but wouldn't watch it again.

We arrived into LA around 3pm then caught the bus to the car hire place. we left there around 5pm, we knew we were in for a drive but we didn't realise it was gonna be that much of a burner. We ended up getting to the hotel in Phoenix at 1am.......8hrs.....not the best!

We headed to the track after getting some breakfast yesterday morning. It looks real fast but fairly straight forward. After seeing this and comparing it to the grands, i've come to the conclusion that alot of people would be suprised how mellow the jumps seem to be. Certainly not like euro tracks. That's not really a bad thing as althougth the jumps aren't that deep, they're shaped properly and let you really charge at them.

Could sleep to good last night so thats why i'm updating at 7.15am my time!! Adjusted to the time zone pretty well but just couldn't settle properly last night. I've managed to sort out Skype on my phone for the first time, phoned me dad on the house phone yesterday for like 12mins and it cost 24p. And spoke to Kate for 20mins for 26p I think..........buzzin! Gone are the days for £200 phone bills for when I'm away :)

We practice at 5.30pm this evening so looking forward to that. Myself and LP have all the new FOX gear so should be pretty fresh come practice time.
