Motorcycle-USA.com and Langston Motorsports Back Vicki Golden for 2011


Bend, Or: Motorcycle-USA.com is increasing its presence in the
Motorcycle-Superstore.com Women’s Motocross Championship by creating the
Golden Ticket ride and related fan programs. With the collaboration of
Langston Motorsports, a full line dealership and performance shop with a
rich history in professional racing, the Golden Ticket ride will help WMX
racer Vicki Golden compete for the championship at all eight of the WMX
rounds this summer and the X Games on a Kawasaki KX 250F.

“Motorcycle-USA.com is a leader in covering motorsports and we are now
looking at ways we can give back to motorcycling,” said Motorcycle-USA.com
Editorial Director Ken Hutchison. “By providing an opportunity like this for
Vicki, we are aligning ourselves with a great talent and some great
partners. This isn’t just a great opportunity for Vicki, but one for all of
us involved’.

Golden is in her third year as a professional rider and the 18-year-old has
been on a fast track throughout her career. She was leading the WMX Class
Rookie-of-the-Year standings in 2009 before a hard crash sidelined her for
five months. She returned to finish fourth in the WMX standings in 2010 and
has three podium finishes in her career. Golden made history in 2011,
becoming the first woman to qualify for an AMA Arenacross Lites class main
event.

The ride will include race equipment, full time race mechanic, the
performance expertise of Langston Motorsports, and part time coaching from
Grant Langston of Langston Racing Academy.

“I’m really excited about the opportunity to race at such a high level,”
said Golden. “I am so happy to be working with Motorcycle-USA.com and
Langston Motorsports.  I’ve only had a few weeks on my new Kawasaki and I
love it. The bike fits me, and my style like a glove. We have a lot of tough
competition in the WMX Class but I’m ready for the challenge.”

Vicki’s Golden Ticket will also include written and video features on
motorcycle-usa.com as well as a weekly blog where she will show all of the
excitement of being a professional motocross racer and chronicle her quest
for WMX National wins and X Games Gold. Additional fan programs will be
announced later this summer.
