MiniMoto SX 2009

We survived MiniMoto, raced the Mountain View N.W. mini bike national, and are moving ahead on the MM12P.

MiniMoto SX 2009

The MiniMoto SX was a blast as always – I think. Like I always say, anytime you are racing mini bikes in a stadium in front of 7000 people it’s a good time no matter what! The whole J-Law thing was as crazy as we knew it would be. J-Law is kind of like politics in America right now - split right down the middle with passion on both sides! Half the crowd loved him and cheered on his every psychotic move and the other half wanted to hang him and run him out of town. What a crazy night! When the race was over J-Law rode to his truck, got in and waited for the crowd to disperse, and drove off. We haven’t heard a word from him since. Bottom line is people stood in line for two hours to buy tickets, selling the stadium out (plus 500 standing room only tickets), in a crappy economy, to watch the craziness unfold. Jason kept everyone in the crowd standing on their feet, and many of the riders laying in the dirt. The end result was simple, though, he ensured that the number crunchers will STILL PUT THE RACE ON NEXT YEAR. Hey, if nothing else, it will always be remembered as that year Jason Lawrence raced! Now that me, and the whole BBR crew, are out of therapy we can get back to what we love; building bikes and testing…

MM12P

The MM12P is moving along great. No big snags so far, but we are picky, so it takes time to do it right. We did have some riders on the MM12P doing some real world testing at MiniMoto SX. Adam Booth showed up and raced one with no practice and finished about 7th in the 12 inch amateur class. Look for a story in an up coming issue of Dirt Bike Magazine. Amateur star (and all around great kid) Jason Anderson raced one in the 12 inch youth mod class. He crashed in the first turn of the main but flew on the bike and definitely had podium speed. The guys from Dirt Rider also rode the MM12P bike at Mini Moto so look for an article there also. We can’t wait to get the bikes in everyone’s hands. You are going to love them!

Super Moto in the Pacific Northwest

A new Super Moto track is going in at Pacific Raceway in Kent, Washington. The owners are sparing no expense to make sure it is one of the premier go cart and Super Moto tracks in the country. The grand opening is this Saturday June 20th. Derek Costella, fresh off his big win at the Vegas Super Moto national, is going to be on hand. Derek is going to spin some laps on his BBR super-moto mini bikes which will make it worth the drive all by itself. Derek will also be signing autographs at the BBR truck. Swing by and say Hi.

Mini Racing in the Northwest

The Mountain View N.W. Mini bike national went off this past weekend in Sandy Oregon. If you have never been to this legendary track, in Sandy Oregon, you have to check it out. It is located in a farming community with neighbors all around. It is a mini-bike rider’s dream. The track is made out of red clay, without a rock in it, and winds up and down through the woods. This is one of the best tracks I have ever ridden on. The turn out was small but a great time was had by all! See you there next year. Check out the track’s website here: http://www.mtnviewmx.com/

MTV Teen Cribs

The MTV link is up to the Teen Cribs show we did this winter. The response has been great. MTV has a huge hit on their hands with Nitro Circus so they are trying to do anything MX related. When they gave us a call we jumped at the chance to give Mini-Bikes some world wide coverage. Check it out here (click the image below to open MTV's website in new window):


Blast from the Past

This week’s blast from the past comes from our buddies Donn Maeda and Garth Milan over at Transworld MX. This was the May 2003 issue. They did a story on the beginnings of BBR Motorsports. Thanks guys! Click the image for the full story:

Alright – Keep in touch and thanks for helping us live the dream! - Duane
