All week Weather Forecasters were predicting that Sunday would bring rain to Southern California. But as you know weather people are always wrong at least half of the time.

RL Policar-The Animal has been a great asset to the team and continues to deliver great results in each race. Read his report below and enjoy his race experience for yourself. I had a great day to say the least. I arrived early in the morning at Southridge to get settled in, I got myself…
–RL Policar: Counting Coup has to be one of the tougher races hosted here in SoCal. On race day, it was estimated that over 300 riders participated in this yearly masochistic fest. Once again, our very own Eric Hunner didn’t disappoint us by racing this event with his single speed. The results of my last…
The weekend started early on ALL counts for me. On Friday I headed to Fontana to pre-ride the DH & Super D course. With only two races left, I am currently in good standings with the overall points for the Winter Series in both – Super D & DH. I wanted to be prepared for…

This was race #4 of a 6 part series at Fontana. What’s neat is we’re starting to see familiar faces of other racers and we’ve made a few friends here and there. On Friday I was able to take one practice run right after the marked the DH course. One run just isn’t enough to…
RL Policar-Eric “The Animal” Hunner is the team’s power house. Not to take anything away from the other riders, but we all would agree that Eric has to be one of, if not, the strongest rider we have in our arsenal. So it brings me great pleasure to present to you a short, but sweet…
As you may have already read, the team did pretty well this past weekend. I wanted to fill in some gaps from our team’s performance as well as experiences during the races. Saturday we were greeted with a sweet kiss from some rare SoCal rain. Rain here would be as rare as seeing a Vegan…
