The opening round includes a practice session that allows riders to work on their set up and make any changes needed. For many it was just a simple practice as the winter was spent in Florida, for others it was a small taste of what this track was going to offer.
One of the first riders I encountered was Chris Jenks who promptly sent himself over the bars. Thankfully he was fine and once he righted his quad was back out ripping up the florida sand.
