The following photos
were taken at the Fast50s compound prior to our trip to Vegas. We had
a great time meeting up with our guest riders from France, Australia,
and Oregon.
From France we had Arnaud Adam and Mathieu Thibeaut
From Australia, Chris Thomas of Chilli50s and his crew (Mel, Budgy, and
Nick)
From Oregon we hosted Joel Ard, Andy Miller,
and Aaron Krachel. We spent a few days working on the bikes and riding
the track. |
