Vital MX Pit Bits: Southwick 2007


As you’ll see when you click into the photo gallery (the link is above) the sands of Motocross 338 at Southwick, Massachusets, sure make for a refreshing change from the usual follow-the-leader ruts of some of the harder-packed tracks on the AMA Toyota Motocross championship series. It may sound unusual, but watching the riders stuff their way into corners, slash around the berms, and work the bike as they change direction and hunt for forward drive can start to look more like surfing than riding.

Here are the results from the the afternoon timed qualifying sessions.
