PROTECT YOUR DNA WITH QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY
Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayThis edition of Pit Bits was brought to you by our friends at Octopi Media. We'll be back on a tech crawl for Washougal.
Millville or Spring Creek? Yeah, sometimes we get mixed up on what to call this round.
Speaking of mix-up, the Mt. Martin was a little mixed up as the Martin brothers employed a never-used layout and completely re-routed the most treacherous part of the track. Did you like the changes?
Although FXR is a Canadian company, they also have close ties to the Minnesota state, thus their title sponsorship of this round.
Another week of unique trophies.
Who doesn't love fireworks (except Matthes)?
Spring Creek's iconic first turn caused a lot of chaos.
We don't even know what to say with this one...

Chase Sexton made an unexpected appearance at the races. Welcome back.
DC, a phone, and the first turn. Always getting the shot.
The "Mac" was back.
Levi Kitchen was giving proper emo punk band vibes at Millville.
Justin Barcia's future still seems to be unknown. All we know is it's very unlikely to be at Ducati.
Did we mention the chaos?
This was well deserved.
Carson Mumford has been through hell and back since turning pro.
Can someone get this man some black boots?
After letting Tøndel transfer to Monster Energy Kawasaki, we weren't quite sure who ISRT would pick up to fill his rather large shoes. Well, they surprised by snagging a well-deserved fill-in of Mark Fineis, who impressed two weeks earlier at RedBud. While one moto had its struggles, he backed up his RedBud performance in the other.
Start 'em on moto at a young age!
Who doesn't love a fresh Bell lid?
Simple but drool...

We had heard that the crew from Red Bull had a new surprise lid for Jett.
If you have ever watched The Simpsons, you should get the reference.
Yes, GNCC guys can moto. Gus Riordan made his final MX appearance of the year, now for some R&R before trying to lock down that XC2 championship.
The problem with racing the Lawrences. Well, for one, they're great starters. Secondly, there are two of them.
Holy...
You know?
Deegan has some excellent reflexes.
Minear has really been thriving this Pro Motocross season.
Look who showed up in Millville. We've been wondering where this guy has been all summer.
Michael Mosiman is one of the very few pros who still race with a neck brace. Although it was more of a recent move after a neck injury.
Carson Wood went full bullet after being the catalyst of the the big pile up in 250 moto two.
That doesn't look fun...
This man, Sean Ogden, makes everything on Vital MX look good.
If there's a helicopter or plane overhead, you can guarantee that Trevor Nelson will get a shot of it.
Spring Creek was the first, properly warm race of the season.
Fox Racing brought some 2027 drip to the races.
We've all been there...
In case you didn't know, after all these years, yes, many pro's goggles are prepped with certain feminine products to absorb sweat.
With all the factory goodies available,, it's interesting to see Deegan on stock triple clamps, stock engine mounts, lots of stock steel bolts, a stock front brake caliper...plus using a production-sized compression adjuster that uses a sleeved down holder to put it in a works shock.

Yes, we have found the Ø on our keyboard.
We're really curious to see where Cornelius Tøndel goes after his experience with Monster Kawi ends after the season is over.
In the meantime, soak it all in.
Honda merch will get you Honda signatures.
Speaking of 2027 Fox kits...
Another one with Prado.
It was nice having Antonio Cairoli visit, as his three-race tenure has now finished. His third and final race was by far his best, matching the pace he brought to last year's nationals. While he did train and ride before this year's three races, he never took a gate drop prior to RedBud. Last season, he had some MXGP and Italian races as warmups.
Cairoli has come full circle. After spending nearly two decades with Red Bull, a short stint at Monster is now over as a Red Bull logo adorned his helmets again.

Broc Tickle continues his testing duties with Monster Energy Kawasaki, along with assisting the Pro Circuit team with bike setup.
For those who said we'd never see Chase Sexton aboard a Kawasaki again, well, you were wrong (a Kawasaki Mule counts).
Nate Thrasher has been the subject of quite a few rumors over the past few weeks, regarding his 2027 home. Nothing is finalized, but Pro Circuit is seeming more likely by the day.
See you all at Washougal...
