Photo Report: Rockstar Energy MX Nationals|Nanaimo Round 2 By Billy Rainford What a difference a week and a drive to the coast make!

Well, the weather could have cooperated a little more, but it was still a nice change to come out from under the lights and into the sunshine…and snow, and sleet, and wind, and hail… It was a weird day, weather-wise, for sure, Sunday at Gopher Dunes. With a high of only
