emcee the event, but also present the 2015
Edison Dye Lifetime Motocross Achievement
Award during a ceremony between the motos.
This year's award went to Dave McCoy – King

McCoy, who celebrated his 100

behind the creation of Mammoth Mountain Ski

During that time he also created the Mammoth

racers have flocked to since its inception in
1968. It still continues today, and is the old-

America.
Although McCoy wasn't able to accept the
