I was lookin real hard at Jones' stickers, trying to see who he is riding for thi year.

That ain't a Pro-trax front end.

I heard a rumor that he was getting support from Yamaha of Troy, anybody know any details?

Thats really good to see that kids are really getting into this sport. I'd like to see quading come as/or more popular then dirtbikes some day. I also liked seeing that some still use the 250R. They know where its at :D haha. Ya thoes are great pictures.

Its good to see that Caleb Johnson in the C class is using my old quad in good form. Looks like he wrecked it a few times since I last rode it to my "A" Championship. :D
