Andrews 6.12.10

When you have a passion for motocross, the heat has little affect on you... until you get dressed and start riding. You could tell the temperature was in the mid 90s as riders were only making a few laps before pulling off to rest and catch some fresh air.

Most people think that riding a dirt bike is nothing more than twisting the throttle. Ask any serious riders that same question and see what kind of response you get. Motocross is one of the most physically demanding sports out there. It takes a total commitment of your whole body to maneuver a bike around a motocross track. And when it's hot, well lets just say the heat will shine on the riders with good fitness.

Lots of water and good stretching habits are just a couple of things you should always have on hand.

Tyler is obviously in good shape. While other riders pulled off to rest, the # 717 rider kept putting in some blazing laps.  I was completely shocked at how fast he was going in this heat.
