New Partnership Announced!
February 18, 2011 - Merced, CA: Vintage
Enthusiast & VMX National Champion Mike Owens and Legends &
Heroes MX Tour Managing Partner Alex Moroz announced today a
partnership in which Owens will join the tour and help develop the moto
museum as part of the Legends & Heroes Traveling Motocross Museum.
The Legends & Heroes MX Tour has been on the road the past two
years displaying classic motocross memorabilia and presenting a
timeline of motocross history to fans nationwide. Most recently, the
tour was present at 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship
series events, the USGP series, Monster Energy AMA Supercross events,
FIM World Championship series, the FIM Motocross of Nations and the AMA
Vintage Motorcycle Days event at Mid-Ohio. The tour’s current modular
display is being redesigned to incorporate a 40-foot 5thwheel
specifically designed to carry the country’s most dynamic motocross
display around the country. The program opened at Anaheim 1 and will
travel to all of the 2011 Monster Energy AMA Supercross events, the AMA
Pro outdoor nationals, the USGP and other high-profile events.
“We are excited about this partnership with Mr. Owens and what he can
bring to the table. This is a catalyst to bring our rich history to the
masses in a professional presentation while sharing with the fans and
general public our sport’s deep roots. Mike is a multi-national AHRMA
Motocross Champion, a collector of some of the finest motocross
machines and has a passion to help us bring our project to the next
level” states Moroz.
Mike adds: “I am very excited to be joining the Legends & Heroes
Project. As a vintage motocross enthusiast for twenty plus years, I
intend to bring the experiences I've gained to provide and asset to
Alex and his team. I look forward to being associated with the tour,
helping to provide a professional display of vintage motocross
machines, memorabilia and the Legends & Heroes that raced them to
other enthusiast and most importantly younger generations.
