Pinn-it Bash, FMX East Challenge, TX  Recap of the recent tour sched

Here we are back again trying to get you updated on the past shows. It has been crazy as summer ends with fall bearing down on us. So we will start with Big St. Charles Motorsports in St. Charles, MO. This event was in the back yard of our good friend Terry Russell. So we brought him in to ride with Kenny and Travis for the event. He brought down his new rig for the maiden voyage to see how everything would work. The set up was super sweet along with his new freight liner. The guys had a great time riding together again. On to the next stop in Palestine, IL, this freestyle motocross show was a 5 rider show that was one of the best shows of the year. The riders included Kenny Steinke, Mike Angerman, Daniel Weeks, and Andy Datwson. Andy was a last minute fill in rider and pretty green to it all, however he was able to take on the challenge.

The following weekend the Team had two separate shows. The first one was at Atlanta Motor Speedway for The Motor Sport Nationals. The riders were Doug Cossey, Chip Bishop, and Mr. Esposito. Upon arriving and having to dodge the weather they were able to get a few shows in with some flip action for the fans before the rain hampered the rest of the event. Over in Champaign, IL Kenny and Travis were performing at a music fest with classic rock band Molly Hatchet. This is about the 5th time the guys performed at the same event as the band. This was in the parking lot of a pub called “It’ll Do” just off the Interstate. Good times and a few new tattoos along the way compliments of Sudden Impact tattoos Matt Estock and their intern Polly.

Next stop was the FMX EAST Challenge in Dodd City, TX. It was the 2nd annual Pinn-It Bash. This was the third stop in the series and the fist one that was not rained out. Check out the details at www.FMXEASTChallenge.com

From there Clint stayed behind helping Daniel with clean up as Kenny and Travis took off for a 19 hour drive. First they had to stop by Nelson (Nelson FEST) house in Nashville to grab the rig from when they dropped it off a weeks earlier coming back from IL. After that 10 hour drive it was another 9 hours to the Virginia State fair. This was a three day event in the middle of the week. Kenny and Travis were the riders putting on 3 freestyle motocross shows each day. They battled the wind a little bit but never the less put on a great performance and are looking forward to going back next year. That following weekend Esposito & crew were going to be doing HIN in Knoxville, TN but unfortunately it was cancelled. No worries Team FMX EAST will be performing at the next Hot Import Nights in Jacksonville, FL on the 30th. See you there.

We will be adding more pics!
