Several days ago I made the long trek down to Elsinore from lovely Valencia, CA. After dodging traffic for nearly two hours I made my way along the horribly bumpy driveway towards the Elsinore Supercross track. I received a tip-off from MotoSport team manager Bill Keefe the day before that the team was going to have their poster shoot. Knowing that team riders Bobby Kiniry, Steve Boniface, Kyle Chisholm, and Matt Boni were going to be executing some radical tricks, I was excited.

After warming up for a few laps Bobby Kiniry began throwing monster whips over a finish line double. As he circled the jump again and again his whips kept getting progressively better. Towards the end he even began leaning off the side of his bike while looking at me. Why did he look my way? From one New York native to another, he was probably just acknowledging how the Empire State boys have supreme style.
