I also love sand, it is probably my favorite surface to ride. Sand and mud are definitely the great equalizers, and it is always interesting to see some not so well known riders come out at Southwick and beat the regular front runners. The Canadian Nationals are VERY interesting! Although the riders are less known the racing is soo good, and the tracks looks like a lot of fun. The announcers get really into it too, which makes it all the better. A lot of top New England riders such as Keith Johnson and Paul Lamb have spent some time in Canada and done quite well.

I LOVE SAND! We have a couple sand tracks here. Michigan is known to be one giant sand box...especially the trails. Only 2 things can break up the usual front runners in a race...sand, and mud. Everyone from the west is used to hard pack tracks. Get them in some sand or mud, or anything different than what they train on and you see a whole new group of riders coming to the front! Last year's Daytona Mudfest saw Michigan rider Jacob Marsack take the 3rd overall in the 450's. Thats why I love watching the Canadian MX series as well, very diverse tracks and riders.
