I ended up having a great day, and I passed all of them and won.Favorite rider: Ryan Lockhart, Ken Roc-zen, Ryan DungeyGoals for 2015: Ride Supermini Rock-star Nationals in Kamloops, Naniamo, and Calgary. I would also like to go to Raymond Alberta, I have never raced there. I would like to win the KTM Su-permini Factory support, that includes a 2016 85cc SXS KTM, parts and sup-port. On moving up to the big bikes: Look-ing forward to getting a 125cc for the 2016 season, want to race in Junior A.



off the showroom floor, the KTM SXS is very well equipped, and requires only minor tuning for individual rider preferences. Ted Kostiuk of Terra Alps Racing, transformed max's 85cc bike into a roaring supermini by installing the larger 16"/19" wheels, a ported

and polished 105cc cylinder, and a Nihilo Billet head.



At every round this year, Max has been gaining speed by improving his form, and increasing his intensity.

There was an excellent turnout of riders, with nearly four hundred entries (across all classes) signed up.





As always, the Whispering Pines/Clinton Indian Band deserves thanks for hosting the races on their territory. In conjunc-

tion with the the Greater Kamloops Motocross Association (and many others), the racing on this day provided some of the best motocross action around.





moto 1







Casey Keast grabbed the holeshot in the first moto and never looked back. Jacob Piccolo would keep Casey in his sights, however, while McCoy Brough would

work his way through the pack into third.







Tyler Gibbs (above) had a great first moto start, and finished an eventural forth place in the moto. KTM mounted Zack Ufimzeff (above right) also had a good first moto finish, scoring tenth place. (Right) Julien Benek shwed speed and style en route to an eigth

place first moto finish.







(Above): KTM Mounted Spencer James rode solidly in the first moto to a seventh place fin-ish, whe Kawasaki mounted Damon Scheller would slip into twelfth place.





Try as he might, Reis Lepine could not quite get back to his

bike on time, before the wheels touched down. The result definately was not pretty. However, Reis would regroup and come back in the sec-ond moto and score a thirteenth place finish, for seventeenth overall. This photo does not re-ally convey how far the jumps are apart, as shoot-ing from this angle with a long lens compresses the elements in the pho-to and makes them appear much closer together than they are in reality. I did not have a tape mea-sure, but I would guess the gap is in the vicinity of sixty feet (or more)!

Reis, you absolutely get my respect for your bold courage to come back after this one!

KTM GoldenTyre mounted Max Day had a great week leading up to the KTM SuperMini National. He had been training hard, and had the opportunity to work on his riding technique with Ca-nadian motocross legend, JSR. Unfortunately, Max’s abdomen would connect with his foot peg during a crash, and he struggled with pain management for the remainder of the day, electing not to ride the second SuperMini moto.





Ethan Oulette would take his Kawasaki to sixth and ninth place finishes, good for seventh overall for the day.

Maple Ridge Motorsports, Kawasaki mounted Jacob Piccolo had a very strong first moto, finishing second place. Jacob got a fantastic second moto start as well, but would case the double jump in the back section of the track hard, allowing McCoy Brough to slip by. THE PASS RELEGATED Jacob to third place for the moto and for the day.
