I will be glued to this thread like hair on soap!

Another chance to show them how we do it on 3.

For those who asked for MX advice at Invasion, here it is:
DO NOT change your line over jumps.

Trike on, trikers!!!

Nice, and if I could just suggest as I'm sure Nytro Crew and OTC leaders would agree. The rear number plates are a big help to score keepers. Although it may not be important in the begining, the gates maybe light. Its something to consider in the future. I'm sure muddy conditions do exist in SoCal even if by truck. Good to hear WestCoaster MX is on, don't forget to take pleanty of pics...as it's History in the making. Get to the gate, have fun and show us what makes the West the Best!

Its commmon for tracks that have been bike only to look for bike placement of numbers without checking to see how places that run quads do it. Side numbers are useless on an ATV, and even though they didn't ask for rear numbers, they will greatly appreciate it once they score their first ATV race.


Best of luck guys!
Nice photo!

So screw the plate facing left just put one on front and back. I have been racking the brain and figured out some ugly ways to mount a number without fenders on the left. I stoped buying new fenders cause the min. i put em on I crash and crack them. Race cut fenders for life.......ready to race

Stephon, I guess yo probably got the longest travel award....I thought nick from fresno had it but you were a bit farther,I think. Did you take the road up over the hill from indio to anza? What were you driving and how many miles? I came out from needles and went out to desert center and in thru indio over the hill. Motorhome was fun on that road. Wish we could of talked but I will see u out there on the 19th of may. looking forward to see the turn out to see if this is gonna catch.

I took the 10 all the way to Indio up the canyon. I can only imagine that motor home on twisting up the hill, I think my knuckles were whiter driving down that they were on the track! I'm gonna bring my trailer in my I'll try to bring a few 200x then, I only saw the one auto x out there. I wish I could have stayed a little longer.

You will get used to that. I have found that Tecates generally try to shed their fenders during races.

Thanks so much for sharing the pics and media with us. This is a great step forward for the west coast riders and I enjoy checking out these pics. Seeing those So cal landscapes brings back memories of the invasion 2010.. I also enjoyed Mymint's TV article they posted on youtube.

Kinda funny thing, well I think it is. I live in az. now but grew up in south east side of san diego county out in a town called Jamul. The first race I found out that ol steve parfet was racing so I looked him up in the pits...We grew up less than a 1/4 mile from each other. Then at this last race I ran into Tom Decresente and I grew up with his nephew. None the less out of all riders out on the track I think like 5 of us all live or lived in Jamul. 3 of us grew up there as youngsters and were all racing trikes 30 years later. kinda funny? I think. Its good to talk with these guys filling me in on whats up in the old home town.
anyway I have a different view with go pro practice vid link http://youtu.be/8qj5eC9wRYk
