Friday morning and off to Anaheim in the morning for Supercross media day. We had passed by this Shepard Fairey mural all week and decided to stop for a minute to take a few pics. It wasn't as short as a Max Verstappen pitstop but we didn't waste much time adding the images to the camera. Picked up the media passes and left some stroopwafels that we had still left. The ladies at the welcome office were stoked. We strolled around the pits and saw the paddock being put up.

Red plate holder Aaron "the cowboy" Plessinger was seen walking around with a horse at the KTM rig. There's a first for everything. Honda HRC had called all the media for a brunch meeting as Dakar winner Ricky Brabac was on hand to talk about his 2024 Dakar rally experience.

Team mate Skyler Howes was present too. After the media briefing it was off to the track where we interviewed a couple of riders to see if they had some connection with BMX. We hit up Ken Roczen, Eli Tomac and Christian Craig. Their interviews will be up at some stage, maybe even at the end of this day 9 update.

We bumped into familiar faces and we managed to film some of the factory dirt bikes for future use (@f.a.t.mx / @twin_air) and left Anaheim when we had exhausted ourselves.

We actually made it back in time for the sunset so we went to the beach to see that happen. So good. Never gets old. We threw the hundreds of MX pics on the computer and flipped through them. It always feels good to have your own stuff available when you need it.

Another day on Saturday. Lights out. Early start coming up.
