Boot Camp Day 4: Moto at Pala Raceway

August 2nd, 2010

DAY 4: MONDAY rise and shine from the partying from the previous night, the campers grabbed their SPY Klutch moto goggles, personalized jerseys from No Fear and hopped in the van to Pala Raceway. The 80 something degree weather with a slight breeze made the moto ride day a perfect day to learn. SPY’s recent X Games 16 gold medalist Mike Schulz and current AMA fast guys Grant Langston and Tommy Searle were on site to ride, hang out and autograph posters. Special thanks to Brian and crew at DC Shoes for providing 250s and 450s, the retailers were throwin’ full throttle in no time! TJ and crew from Zero Motorcycles brought a slew of Zero bikes and christened the inaugural SPY + Zero Cup race. Speed demons Brett Scheidl from Canada and SPY’s very own snowboarder Stevie Bell made it to the finals and it was a close race, but Stevie took the cup. There are no losers at SPY Boot Camp, as both Stevie and Brett drank a victory ‘cold one’ straight from the Zero Cup trophy to celebrate!

The need for speed wasn’t over after our full day of riding at Pala…back in the van that night we went to K-1 go kart racing for the Grand Prix Championship. Three races to win the K-1 trophy cup, as the SPY marketing team and the retailers battled it out for first, congrats to 1st place Boot Camp Canadian winner Brett taking the gold!
