The second anual tw slam race was a really fun event.I feel lucky that it happens at milestone mx park cause it is my "home track" and it really is a cool event.I pulled my camera out for the races and snuck a few pics off.alot of the pics are taken from a distance.so excuse the blurr on a few.hope ya like em.Thnks transworld and redbull for makin it happen
thnks to red bull for helping making this event happen.I believe i heard they helped out to make the event free admision to everyone.And there was this rad rig travis baker looked really fast on thee troy lee bike ..Its rad to see t bake with his new number (also his old amature number)

cole seely was fastest qualifier and i think it really came down to who got the start in the final vs wil hahn


one of the coolest things was seein christain craig back on the bike..i think christian is gonna do well this year..Just seein him ride again is inspiring and he was on the gassss.. palluzzi vs hahn in the quarter finals was on of the best races,I think nick had it in him to pass..but twp laps just wasnt enough.and hahn was goin really fast and makin no mistakes

always good to see sleeter
weston peick

austin politelli looked really good also bruce rutherford and jarred browne was a really close race with multiple lead changes.bruce did awesome at this event making it all the way to the semis bryce valle had a scarry get off in the back straight first lap.i was a few feet from the crash .Something locked the rear wheel of the bike up while he was railing this outside turn. and he went down hard.Lucky he was fine.Im thinkin the motor seized .here they are dragin it off the track i wanna see this footage tw was getting congats to wil hahn on the new ride and the tw slam win.The more i see of wil the more i like him.Really cool guy .
. random pic time more pics in the gallery if your bored :W00t

I wonder why dungey and shorty didnt race. Racer x had vids of them at milestone recently so they were in the area?

1st place pays 5k and a Transworld Cover...



Dungey and Shorty don't need either.. An extra day of testing is worth more to them at this point in their respective careers. IMO of course.

im just gonna guess it was more people..they put in three small grandstands down the front straight for the event that was a big improovement from last year.they also put a fence up in the infield (a small section) but it seemed to be a good some what close place to watch it
