A practice day with DustmxAcademy @ L-Cross

DustmxAcademy showed up at the newly designed L-cross track. With major improvements done by Greg Barker, We planned only going on Saturday but the riders were so impressed we went both days!!!

We turned up fairly early on Saturday morning with a bunch of riders already on the track and everyone keen to test the track. The layout has been extended and took a little getting used to, the jump faces were real good and a technical track with the jumps and turns after the first session it was all positive feed back by the guys..

Anyway after all the comments likes and favorite sections it was down to business as usual. The riders putting in the motos.

As the day rounded out Both Racso and Kyle Smorenburg were tired as they found out the new layout was a good workout. Racso's fasted time a 1:34 he was able to match that on both the 450 and 250 machine although his laps were more consistent on the 250

Kyle had a solid 1:41 lap time and was able to put that in on the last session on the 2nd last lap when the track was the roughest he followed it up with a 1:42 on the last lap

Sunday, bright and early I had word that we have got DustmxAcademy rider Kyle Bangerter joining us, when we arrived Bangerter was eager to go, although he had to still learn the track Racso Bartra and Kyle Smorenburg got all the webs out the day previous.

Bangerter with a new engine setup put some laps down he was keeping a good pace just little mistakes stopping him from doing the whole moto however he pulled it together on the last moto and set his fastest time a 1:41

Kyle Smorenburg and Racso Bartra Both happy to be back at L-cross for a second day despite the way it tired them out on Saturday.

It was a huge effort for both riders the just kept ticking the laps off and with the pep talks in between sessions improvements were made through out the day. Surprisingly Kyle Smorenburg  and Racso Bartra the same as Kyle Bangerter all put their best times in the last session of the day Smorenburg getting down to a 1:37 with a big effort all the way through the day. Racso managed a 1:31 which thus far i believe is the track record, with Track changes expected he may have been the fastest around that track period! 

 

A special thanks to Chris for keeping the team fed, watered and checking over the bikes you were a great help see you next weekend?

Anyway keep looking out for the DustmxAcademy crew in the signature van with the riders tearing up the tracks!!!
