Russell and Mike Lafferty. Also on hand were former trials champ Cody Webb, eight-time National
Enduro Champion Dick Burleson, Taylor Robert,
Kyle Redmond, Ty Davis, Destry Abbott, Danny
LaPorte and the legendary Malcolm Smith. The list
goes on and on. A few motocross stars were also
on hand, including Blake Baggett, Zach Osborne,
Justin Hill and Cole Seely, to name a few. And Los
Angele police chief Charlie Beck also showed up
and suited up to ride.
Those who brought their bikes got a chance to
take the Kurt Caselli Parade Lap and most of them
did. The jaw-dropping number of riders pretty much
filled the entire length of the track - three to four bikes
wide all the way around. It was a sight to behold. The
motocross track was open for riding most of the day,
and trail loops were also set up, including a designated "easy" loop and the "Kurt Caselli Trail" that was
recommended for advanced riders only.
There was a silent auction with proceeds going
to the Caselli family with some of the items up for
bid including a James Stewart helmet and a golf
bag donated by golf star Rickie Fowler.
