The South OC Composite MTB team was invited to the Oakley Dirt Lab for a skills clinic by Mike Bell and Steve Blick. Thank you to the effort of Mike and Steve for their time and invitation to the team.

The second round of the Winter Cup thundered through Cahuilla Creek MX following a quick SoCal winter rain the previous day. The track was in epic conditions to start out the day, but as the races clicked off the soft ground formed up deep ruts and lots of rough chop through the racing surface.

Went out to Cahuilla Creek MX to get some laps in before next week’s TWMX/Muscle Milk race. The track was a lot of fun and is a fast layout.

The new Transworld Motocross/Muscle Milk racing kicked off their first series at Perris Raceway with the opening round of the 2012 Winter Cup. Strong breezes greeted the racers throughout the day but had no effect on the racing action.

The first race of the 2012 SX is now history and the series moves on to Phoenix next week. It was a great opener with plenty of on-track drama as riders made critical errors during the main event, mixing up the finishing order at the end.

Over the holiday break I spent a lot of time on my bicycles and motorcycle. I got out the GoPro and did a couple helmet cam videos.
