I think one of the coolest things about riding moto in socal during the weekday is that you regularly get to ride with these guys. Heres a screen shot from my gopro this past Monday at Milestone. Wharton was putting a move on me then left me in the dust...

Cool pics!! I will always be an RC fan, through "thick and thin". He is still a badass. Your pics were fantastic!

Other inquiring minds want to know.. Pala seems to be a busy place almost year-round... Do any of you SOCAL folks have day jobs?

I don't. I'm a house husband for the time being.

Now that would be cool !! Odd that he would still use a standard pipe. Any chance he goes and races in Canada in the 250 class, on the two stroke ???

Did RC and Chad try and bring back 2005, and battle ??

From what I saw he still has speed but is lacking the aggressiveness and flow he had. He was on Tickle's back wheel for a little bit if that helps.

I'm sure there will be videos poppin' up places judging by how many media dudes were out there.

Both looked good but the two stroke that Ivan was on is just slow compared to a four at that level, in the loose stuff you could see how much slower it was.

He even came and played on the vet track a couple of times with us old boys.

There were a lot of people on here complaining about Pala hosting a National, but all of the guys are now training at Pala for the Nationals.

Look at that giant smile on IT9 face, that's what two stroke does folks! I would like to see a video of IT9 and Cooper Webb.
