Spring is in full swing and the ABA has nationals all over the country for racers to showcase their skills. This weekend’s stop was dead smack in the middle of California for the US Nationals in Tulare. And we all know what that means, the California based Factory Tangent/BAWLS squad was there in full force! Looking to add some more podium finishes to record books, the team came in all BAWLS-energized and ready to roll! Coming off a win in Oregon had the team psyched, but they knew they’d have to work even harder to repeat at a factory stacked California race. The team showed they were ready for the challenge when Riley kept his class win streak from Oregon alive and topped the podium with the win in 16x once again. Joining his teammate atop the podium Jacob pulled off a wire to wire victory in the always tough 11x class main event. Those two wins set the tone for the team as Kevin Shankle (17-18x) and Nate Abbe (13x), rode their Intense race frames to the podium as well.
In these temperatures the best thing to do is drink a Bavaria or two. But when the occasion arises that you can ride a Grand Prix track that is normally closed for goons like me, you take the opportunity. TMV distribution organised a dealer appreciation day at the GP track of Valkenswaard and Paul and I were on the list. The track was great to ride and open all day long for free sessions. The only bummer was the dust but we're not complaining here. Enjoy the photos of the day if you're into the MX thing. If not, carry on.
