Last March we went to Texas where Wyatt won the 4-6 Special Limited Championship at the James Stewart Spring National at Freestone. In winning that he and all the other Champions secured an invitation to the Champions Ride Day at the Stewart Compound in Florida.
That day finally rolled around on November 17th and it was nothing short of amazing.
We loaded up the day before and made the drive the Haines City, Florida. We arrived at the Compound around 4PM and we (Ronny, Wyatt, Myself and Ehren) were all like kids on Christmas morning. Screaming the whole way up the drive before pulling into what I have dubbed "Dirtbike Heaven". We bailed out of the truck and went to take it all in.
There it was, in all its glory. Everything I thought it would be and more. A HUGE motocross track wrapping around 2 beyond perfect Supercross tracks. The boys had been watching YouTube videos for weeks leading up to this so they kept looking for specific parts of the tracks. It's a sight to see for sure.
One by one the rest of the Champions started rolling in and we were up early the next morning for an unforgettable day. We were welcomed by Tom Sheilds of Freestone MX then greeted byt the entire Stewart Family. Unfortunately, James is/was injured so he didn't get on a bike. However, Malcolm gave us all a show on the Supercross track then rode laps with everyone. While the 50's were out he made sure to turn a few laps with each rider. Those laps were the best laps Wyatt turned ALL day! That in it's self made the day. Wyatt loved it.
I said it in a post on Facebook but the hospitality shown by the Stewart Family was amazing.
After the ride day we headed north to Gatorback Cycle Park for a weeks worth of moto during Mini O's.
Wyatt raced both supercross and motocross. It was the last races on the trusty KTM Jr. Results weren't exactly where we wanted to be but they were due to crashes.
He's ready to move up and looking forward to getting on the big 50's!
