Once upon a time back in the day when I actually had free time and money, I went to as many MX/SX/FMX events as I could. Fun times resulted as well as some ridiculous drama. For the record, I definitely don't miss the drama... But I do miss the bikes and riders and smell of premix in the morning.
So I decided to have Whit work for me and take the day off from responsibility to head over to Oakland for the AMA Supercross. Well, part of it anyway...
No one was available to watch me mum, and Adie had to work so I had to head back to be home to help her with dinner and get her ready for bed. BUT I was able to wander the pits and watch practices in the rain and generally have a really relaxing fun time.
So here, without further ado, are my photo memories from that day. As I mentioned, it was chilly and raining - at times fairly significantly. So pictures were hurried, camera didn't like to focus and I didn't like to take the time to make it focus. Sos you gets what you gets.
The day didn't cost much except for the commute costs since I had a free ticket; when I got there shortly after 12:30 p.m. there was a practice going on so I stopped there first.
