Just a short video taken in Murfreesboro, TN at an arena cross event on 12/15. This is an unedited helmet cam vid from Jordan's helmet during moto #2. We won the first moto but lost the hole shot to #8 (on his Apex 90) in the second moto and just couldnt make the pass. These 2 kids usually battle it out pretty good and we have enjoyed watching them for a couple years now. They are friends off the track and play together all the time but when they climb on their quads, it's on... :devil:

Green machine you are right. Most of the time in Arenacross the gates are brought in and put on top of the soil. They will shred a tire if you line up on your gate because the gates sit so high. Mini quads often hit the brake disc or sprocket on the gate hinge because of how low the quads sit. You have to move the quad over and off-set it so the hinge passes just inside the left or right tire. When the first quad gets set everyone else falls right in with the off-set. Last year Jordan caught the gate and it nearly threw him over the handle bars....It is pretty nasty if they snag the gate. Cant believe you caught that. Usually, about 7 quads is all that will sit on a single gate so we have a little room to move.

Mrs. Stockton...I did get the gift, thank you very much. We thought you guys may be in Murfreesboro, missed yall.

Just adding another video from the same race. This one is from a young rider that rode in the 4-7 mini quad class. I think this is what we want all our little guys doing. He makes a great cross-over move coming out of the whoops on the second lap. He must have been thinking about it ahead of time because he moved to the center of the track while he was still in the whoops and closed the distance as he came out of the whoops, he brakes early and then stands on the gas and cuts back inside.

All the riders in this class rode great with 7 quads on the gate. This is a fun group to watch. I was amazed at this move because it required some planning and timing on the part of this little rider.
