Photos from the Canadian national today

Remember we make these track look better than they really are. Ha! Beat you to it.

Multi-time world vet champ Zoli Berini sr. showed the kids around the track for the parade lap. The guy is in his mid 70's I believe and still rides all the time.


First time for a national in Edmonton and the turnout was pretty darn good.


Start of the first moto for the MX2 class


Aaron Harvey leading Kyle Beaton on the bottom, while the others play catch up.


An overview of the pro pits from the top of the budweiser beer semi.


Dusty Klatt's Cernics Kawasaki.


Tyler Medeglia's Rockstar Suzuki


Colton Facciotti getting ready for the first moto. This kid is hauling ass right now.


The Monster Girls getting their pre-race instructions


Another shot of the monster girls.


Kyle "the Welder" Keast and Colton on the line for moto 1


The dirt looked awsome. The local oldtimers club took care of the track and turned a flat field into an awesome race day facility.


The pit board says it all. Colton in cruise mode.


Dusty Klatt getting interviewed after finishing second in moto 1


Tyler Medeglia getting his holeshot check. He finished third in the first moto I think.

Panorama of the track


Ryan Lockhart chasing Broc Hoyer in moto 1 through the mechanics section


The younger Medeglia brothers. Both podiumed today.


Nick Evanou(sp?) railing a berm


Kyle Beaton on the gas. This kid wouldn't have any luck if it weren't for bad luck. Still ran well today, but off the podium.


MX2 Overall Podium
1. Harvey 1-1
2. Maier 3-2
3. Medaglia 2-6


You guys think you have trouble filling gates. The MX1 class gate was half full for this round.


Colton Facciotti and Blair Morgan flying in formation


Colt styling with the lead in Moto 2


The welder drops from the sky in moto 2


One of the mid pack guys (#295) airs out the double (same jump as last two pics shot from a different angle)


The welder on the gas. For a guy who races part time in the summer he rode fantastic today finishing as high as fourth in the second moto.


Dusty Klatt chases the part timer Keast in the second moto


Colton Airs out the finish line jump.


Unknown rider (might be Gibson) at the finish line.


We that's that. Glad I live in a hick town because I have one monster farmer's tan after today. I remembered the camera, but forgot the lotion (ouch!).
