Saturday was much the same as Friday over in Anaheim. We got there early to take it all in. Finished the rounds in the pits, said hi to the folks, checked Supercross practice, time qualification, and cruised over to the BMX triples to catch some of the semi-finals, finals and best trick comp. Then everyone made it back into the Anaheim Angel stadium for the Supercross qualification races, LCQ's and finals.

There's no need to explain who did what and who finished where. That's what social media does for everyone these days. But with no live feed of BMX Triples you would still have to be there in person to catch everything. Seeing everything live is just so much better. Smelling the gas, looking where you want to look, hearing the sound, catching the action, the antics, nothing beats the live action. Luckily we were up high in the media room because it did start to rain during the evening program. Rain in California! it was almost a year ago since they'd seen it. Luckily the BMX Triple Challenge was finished already and the trophies and cheques had been handed out to the riders but the Supercross riders now had to deal with difficult vision and a slippery track. It did not turn into a mud fest luckily and the big jumps were also no problem for the boys. Damn they are good at what they do.

The evening passed quickly. Two heats of 250 qualification, LCQ and finals. And the same for the 450 class. The KTM Juniors did a couple of laps on the E-bikes and had the day of their lives.
