TransWorld Motocross held a private day at Cahuilla Creek MX Park for the pros to come out and get some testing done in private practice environment. Yamaha’s Josh Hill came out for his third ride back on his YZ450F. He looked quite comfortable on the bike, and he said though he was still sore, he felt his speed wasn’t lacking. From our perspective, he looked really fast.
Sean Hamblin also came out to spin some laps aboard his new Valli Motorsports Yamaha ride (yes, the same as the WORCS team). He was also sporting the team AXO gear as well. More to come on that.
The Division 7/Star Racing Yamaha squad came out in full force, as well as most of the KTM squad. Check out the photos below, and if you haven’t watched Swap’s video, check it out HERE.

and some more…

Broc Tickle has been around the circuit for a few years now, but has yet to have any major wins. At the Toronto Supercross, however, the young Division Seven/Star Racing/Yamaha rider was able to climb aboard the final spot on the podium. He was well on his way to repeating that performance in Jacksonville before a small crash on the 12th lap dropped him back to sixth place at the finish. These are decent stats, but when you keep in mind the fact the Broc completely shattered his lower jaw at the beginning of the season, the North Carolina native deserves some real credit. Check out his interview HERE.

Muscle Milk/MDK/KTM rider Wil Hahn is now in his second full year of professional racing. A graduate of the Toyota TMX program that boosts one rider from amateur factory supported professional status, Wil has been steadily improving since making his pro debut. Now on a full factory ride, the younger of the Hahn brothers recently had the best finish of his career at the final round of the East Coast Supercross Lites series, leading the majority of the race and eventually finishing second. Wilbur joined us at the TWMX Pro Ride Day and gave us his thoughts on his season thus far. Check out the interview HERE.

Don’t forget to peruse the latest pin-up photo gallery. The June issue of TransWorld Motocross features a pull-out poster of AJ alongside Ryan Dungey’s championship-winning RM-Z250. Check out the gallery of her with our own Suzuki test bike…
