These girls are No Hos

On Saturday I took my beautiful friend Stephanie Armstrong to Supercross for the first time and she loved it. It was the 5^th race of the year at Qualcom Stadium in San Diego. The Dirt Worx s boys did an amazing job once again at preserving the track after all the rain. Even still it proved to be a very technical track making it really fun to watch. Only a few of riders where hitting some of the bigger jumps and it looked intense! The race was a tight five man battle for the lead in the 450 class. Short crashed out with no-thanks to Tedesco being a bit aggressive and Windham unfortunately pulled off with a mechanical after running strong in the top five. Davi Millsaps ended up on top after riding a smooth and smart race Congrats Davi!!!

After the race was the NO-HO party at the Hard Rock in downtown San Diego. It was well done with a large Moroccan style tent and outdoor patio area. The only thing is that it was over too quick! So many people showed up that I have not seen in a while and would have loved to connect more with. People were dancing and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. I rare sighting was Clifford Adaptonte Yes the Flyin Hawaiian!!! For those who may not know, he was a top FMX rider back in the late 90 s. Mike Metzger the God Father of FMX was present representing the Jagermeister FMX team which was one of the sponsors of the party. Also FMF, Nitro Circus and Ethika were other note worthy sponsors.

There was some amazing talent in the tent such as Victor Sheldon, Jeremy McGrath, Kendall Norman (Baja 1000 winner), Andy Bakken, Jimmy Button, Chad Reed, Nathan Ramsey, Jared Merrell of J-Star Motors Jolene Van Vugt, Andy Bell and Jim DeChamp of Nitro Circus X Games Gold medalist Blake Bilko Williams (one sick c word...) even some current Supercross racers came out such as Josh Hanson, Josh Hill, Grant Langston (great to see him back out there!) and Ivan Tedesco who rode really well with a 3^rd place finish that night behind Josh Hill.

All this topped off with some lovely ladies and some good music thanks to the DJ. I hope you enjoy the photos.
