Klamath Falls, OR— Cody Sipes Motor Cross Memorial Race 2018

Cody Rian Tabor Sipes was born on March 31, 1994 in Klamath Falls, OR. He grew up loving the outdoors, hunting, fishing and a fascination with anything on wheels. He was creative, mechanically inclined, could sleep anywhere and loved life.

His first bike was a little Honda Trail 50. He proceeded to build jumps and jump that little bike even though his dad repeatedly told him, ”it’s just a trail bike.” That bike started his passion for motocross. He started racing and enjoyed all aspects about it. He progressed through different bikes as he grew older. He learned how to ride and how to ride faster. He was always pushing himself to be better and faster. He also learned how to work on his bikes. He loved everything about motocross – racing, watching racing, working on his bike, working on his friends’ bikes, building tracks and encouraging young riders. He built a track at home at the back of the property by the river. If he missed a jump he would land in the river on one side or in the barb wire fence on the other. Needless to say, he didn’t miss!

Cody was loved by young and old. His family is amazed at how many people Cody touched in his 22 years. Friends of Cody’s started organizing the 1st Annual Cody Sipes Memorial Race within days of his passing. His family and friends want to keep his name alive and to put on future quality races for both riders and fans.

For those that were there to enjoy the Cody Sipes Motor Cross Memorial Race 2018, in Klamath Falls, OR at the Klamath County Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday night and contributed to the event. As well as the riders and their teams who helped them prepare for the races both nights.

While recording the Cody Sipes Motor Cross Memorial Race 2018, I also found time to enjoy the whole event and the reason for it in the first place and that was monies that will be used to fund scholarships and to promote the annual motocross race. There was a 50/50 raffle for a young 7-year-old girl who is ill. There were two raffles altogether.

Below are some of the recordings I took, they are not the best but they are best I could do with the camera I have, as I am a low budget operation and I do it all. I am a one man band so to speak and I do not make money at what I do reporting local news of interest and national news stories on my blog and http://tulelakenews.com/ website.
