Freestyle Motocross


Toyota Trucks Presents Freestyle Motocross brought to you by Wilson's Motorcycles and Budweiser at Selland Arena in Fresno, CA

Friday February 2, 2007

A size of the arena did not stop the big noise coming from the crowd. The boys of FMX did not disappoint Fresno and came out with the big tricks. We had the guys of 5050bmx.com to entertain and the ever exciting "Bullet" flew from his cannon.

Qualifying had Kenny Bell crashing out on his final jump but he still scored an 86 to get fourth in the Ogio Gearbags Qualifier. Grant Teel had a huge smile on his face after his run and scored out an 88. Billy Walls had the usual "pop" in his tricks that helped him advance with a 91.5. The crowd got loud and Jeff Banks dropped the flip on them to score a 93.

The Torco Team FMX had only two teams so we went to crowd judging. The crowd bumped the Canadian team of Jeff Banks and Benoit Milot in favor of the high flying antics of Billy Walls and Grant Teel who worked the crowd for a win.

The 5050bmx.com team came out with some insane tricks including a front flip which had the checkered flags flying. The "Bullet" David Smith got shot across the arena from his cannon. As he left the barrel to cross 135 feet of gap to the net- the gasp from the crowd was deafening.

The Wilson's Motorcycle Final got heated up when Kenny Bell got into the Toyota Trucks Hot Seat first. He did not get to stay their long as "Bad" Billy Walls bumped him away after setting the Budweiser Gaps on fire with his KTM. Grant Teel was next up and even though he rode with lots of heart, was not able to knock Billy down. Jeff Banks knew he had to come out big to get into the Toyota Hot Seat. He did just that by breaking out with a back flip on his first hit! He then proceeded to bust out some combo backies to get the win. The crowd was on their feet and the judges rewarded him. We will be back at it tomorrow night right here in Fresno- so if you have not got your tickets- you better get them now!
