St-Thecle was new ground for everyone on the National tour and many were exited to show their skills on virgin territory. Unfortunately Mother Nature decided to play games and teased us with nimbus clouds that eventually turned St-Thecle into the mud race of the season.

The fierce muddy conditions forced officials to reduce the event to one moto per class. It was a fight for survival. Tearoffs where almost useless as riders tried to keep it on two wheels for what seemed to be the longest mud moto ever.

(Gopher Dunes, Courtland, July 19th)

Gopher Dunes is a sand track like no other. It has a global reputation for being one of the toughest tracks and conditioning is a must. This was very evident as the racers battled the roughest sand berms, woops, jumps and ruts. You would think getting a good start is the key at this track. It helps, but in no time you are dealing with lappers that constantly are filling your helmet with sand.  This track has always mixed up the podium and this weekend was no exception.
With the weather holding out for us, Gopher Dunes hosted one of the largest crowds this season with 40 Coca Cola and Mac’s Convenience Stores partnering folks also in attendance.

BC’s Shuswap Lake was injected with worldwide wakeboarding talent that arrived on board a deluxe 100-foot houseboat equipped with eyebrow raising amenities. The 10 world class athletes had access to three tow boats,  two Tige’s courtesy of Captains Village and the personal MALIBU of none other than James Balzer, one custom 75’ rail along with an in-house media team, two of Canada’s top djs, and one chef that manifested three gourmet meals a day! Houseboat trips may be the norm in this industry but for guys like Shane Bonifay, Jimmy Lariche, Shawn Watson, and Aaron Reed the general sentiment was that this excursion was anything but normal. So just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip. That started from a Sicamous port, about this behemoth ship.

(Shadow Valley Raceway, Morden Manitoba, June 28th)

Morden Manitoba always has a surprise up its sleeve. This year was no exception. Week’s worth of heavy rain was not helping the already soaked dirt. 2 years ago Morden was know as the worst mud race in Canadian history and this weekend was becoming a mirror image.

Saturday’s racing and practice was cancelled as winds picked up and played havoc with tents. Once Sunday rolled around the weather started to become absolutely beautiful. As the riders checked out the track, more and more where pleased with the conditions. It was looking like we would pull off a great day of racing. And we did.

MX2 – Leading Edge Kawasaki Teddy Maier pulled out with a great start in Moto 1 and held his lead comfortably till the checkered flag. Maier 1st, Evennou 4th, Hoyer 6th. Best finish this season for the Leading Edge Team. Moto 2 Teddy started in the same scenario but unfortunately his bike couldn’t hold out for the duration.
