The SuperCross season in the USA is in full swing. On the start in San Francisco will be: Yours truly. The Suzuki Crossover Challenge race brings athletes from different sports and celebrities together for a 5 lap race on the actual SX track in front of a packed stadium. 24 participants will be on the same type of bike (DRZ110's) and for most of us it's task to survive the 2 whoop sections. The race will take place on Saturday 29 January.
I've only ridden a mini bike on dirt once and that was last Sunday on Paul's CRF50. Never touched a 110 in my life but I'm looking forward to the challenge. Wish me luck. The program looks like this:
