The gate drops and the riders surge forward Rider number 6 reaches the first turn ahead of the pack and claims the holeshot He's in the lead On the next curve he brake checks the rider behind him in an effort to slow him down The riders go over whoop de dos and around tight turns FUN FACT Arenacross is an indoor version of motocross that uses smaller courses
Getting a fast start is an important part of dirt bike racing With only one lap to go the leader nips the top of a jump It slows him down just enough to allow number 34 to fly past him The new leader skids around the next curve
