X Games Gold Medalist Fired Up For Everett Washington EnduroCross

Taddy Blazusiak and Maria Forsberg are ready for more EnduroCross!

 Irvine, CA (August 4, 2011) – Still
buzzing from his X Games gold medal, Poland’s Taddy Blazusiak is fired
up for the Everett Washington EnduroCross event that will take place on
Saturday, August 13^th. “X Games just took off road motorcycle
racing to a whole new level” Taddy texted the morning after winning
Gold inside the Staples Center. “It was so amazing to race with live
ESPN coverage and the huge crowd inside the arena so I can’t wait for
Everett”. X Games was a great way to kick off the 2011 GEICO AMA
EnduroCross series, presented by Lucas Oil and the riders will get to
race in less than two weeks in Everett Washington and then again on
Friday, August 26^th in Indianapolis Indiana.

Taddy’s
excitement about the remainder of the series is not surprising but
Maria Forsberg, the women’s X Games Enduro X Gold Medalist is also
planning to compete in Everett. The Seattle resident will compete
against the men since the women’s class was a one off for X Games only
because there are not a lot of female riders willing to put themselves
through that kind of punishment. So it will be interesting to see if
Maria can earn a spot in the amateur class main event.

If
you live anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, you can make plans for an
awesome day and night of action. The pit area and Comcast Arena are open
for FREE all day to the public to watch the riders practice and qualify
for the evening program. But if you want a seat for the main events,
you better get a ticket since this event was a sellout last year.

Ticket information for all of the GEICO EnduroCross events can be found at www.EnduroCross.com.
