I'm sure we have all heard that statement before. But I can't help but notice the dominance in mx with guys from Florida. So the question is, does it help being from Florida? Is there truly “something in the water?” My guess would be weather wise they can practice all year long but then there are places like Arizona and other warm climate places that just don’t produce the same type of athletes. So now you have people from cooler regions moving to Florida. So In that case I guess it is true, it aint where you from its where you at.

IMO, it is the ability to ride and race year 'round
There's a better mix of track styles and dirt (sand, dirt, clay, hardpack, mud)
Several large events right in the same yard, Mini O's, Winter Am's, Gold Cup, Florida Series and those events and series' bring down the best from all over the NE and East Coast to race.

Training all year long does seem to be the key. But doing so in the humidity has to be a factor as well. You watch a guy like Ferry#15 and he just seems to have a second/third wind.

There is also the fact that you can still buy large tracts of land alot cheaper in Fla. than in California.
