For the past few years some of the top
athletes, past and present, in their respective sports of BMX, MTB,
Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Skiing, Surfing, Wakeboarding,
Snowmobile, XC Running and more have all joined together at the Dirt
Diggers North, Lucas Oil AMA Motocross National.
On May 21st 2010, this mixed
group of top performers drops into Sacramento, CA for the opportunity
to ride motocross on the same track as the Pro’s. It’s a truly
unique opportunity that has no equal in any other event. Many top
athlete’s use motocross as a cross training activity but when the
gate drops and these riders hit the track they all learn a firsthand
lesson in respect for how fast the pro’s really are.
Beyond bragging rights and hours of
bench racing after the race, riders will also be racing for some
serious goodies provided by the 2010 sponsors. GoPro, SRH Clothing,
Haro Bicycles, Dunlop Tires, Nordica Skis, and Pro Taper all stepped
up to support this event and donate product.
Thanks to this year’s title sponsor
GoPro, makers of the world’s best selling wearable and gear
mountable digital cameras for sports, several riders will be
providing different angles and a unique first person video from the
first outdoor national track of the season! All the footage will be
compiled into an edit posted at www.GoPro.com after the race.
Also joining the mix of Crossover
athletes is the popular media class who gets a chance to put down
their cameras and hold off on interviews long enough to get a few
laps on the rough Hangtown circuit. New for 2010 is a group of top
FMX riders from past and present who will swap out their jump bikes
for full motocross rides.
If you purchased a Saturday May 22nd
ticket for the pro national you get full access to the track on
Friday to check out amateur racing and GoPro Hangtown Crossover
racing. After that, Fan Fest will take over with autographs from all
the riders, bands, BBQ and more. See you there!
