Phillip Sherwood

Welcome to my website PhillipSherwood.com.  I was also known throughout my motocross adventures as “Gomez” and/or “El Gato Volador”. I took a real bad spill on October 20th 2007 while racing motocross at Pleasent Hill race track in Decatur, Alabama.  I was airlifted to the Huntsville Hospital ER and awaited multiple surgeries to try to fix my broken back but little did I know then that I lost a lot more than just the use of my legs and ability to walk that warm sunny October afternoon.  Thanks to your prayers and the comfort provided by my family and friends, I survived this terrible ordeal and this website documents our story.

I started racing in 1975 on a Honda XR-75 and moved up to 1982 YZ 125 B Class when I joined the Army at the end of that racing season. I picked the sport back up in November 1999 racing a 2000 Honda CR250R in Santa Cruz, Bolivia and supported by VISAL Honda. I then moved to Central Texas and bought a 2002 Honda CRF450R and received race support from Blackfoot Honda and Honda of Houston, I then went back to Colombia, South America and raced the Latin American circuit in the 250 A Class where I was given the name Felipe Gomez to draw less attention. I am now retired from the Army as a Black Hawk Helicopter Test Pilot Evaluator after 23 years of military service and have now made my home in Huntsville, Alabama.
