Title: AMA Amateur Arenacross Championships
Post by: MonsterYZ5 on March 11, 2013, 05:32:26 AM
Well guys I have qualified for the Amateur Arenacross Championships in Las Vegas May 3rd-5th. I qualified in the College boy and Pit Bike classes. My employer has given me the days off I need to attend. This will be my 1st amateur national of any kind that I have ever competed in. I'm training hard and trying to improve everyday. Thanks to everyone who has helped me get to where I am now. Especially my Dad and my sponsors.

 Congrats   Monster YZ5 ,   should  be  a  fun  race.   Have   your   suspension   guy   revalve   for   arenacross   whoops.   That,s   the   hardest    thing   to   revalve   for,  factory  connection   revalved   my   cr125   for    arena   type   whoops.   The   forks   are   perfect,  I   played   with   the   sag   and   comp   a   little   on the shock.   IMO   the   whoops    are   the   best  place  to pass   in   arenacross,  get   your  suspension   valved   for  them    and    you,ll   be   BLITZING   them.   Arenacross   pro,s    will   test   8   shocks   in a   day,   just to give   ya   an   idea    of    the   time it takes   to get   dialed   in.   Good   Luck

Lol that's what i get called all the time when i ride out of state.

I have race tech gold valves and fork springs on my bike right now. Iv never had a complaint about my shock  but it also has gold valves with the stock titanium spring.

I will be sure to get some pictures up soon.

Well guys the trip was fun. I got 5th in the pit bike class and was running about 7th in my collegeboy main then came up a little short on the finish line double and had a pretty hard crash that tossed me over a berm. I'm ok though with just a few scrapes. I ended up finishing 12th in that class.

You finished, you're not hurt bad, and you had fun, I say you did a great job! What kind of pit bike do you ride? are 2 strokes allowed in the pit bike races?

No 2 strokes are not allowed. Only 4 strokes with open cradle frames. My bikes a klx110 with a 143 big bore, race head, 28mm carb, 65 forks and rear brake system, and extended big bike style swing arm and shock.
