Judges Darrell Mathes, Scotty Arnold and Doran Laybourn warmed up the action with some for-runs and then it was on for all the 16 and unders to get their go at the course. After, the 16 and older ams started destroying the course from every angle. The riding was definitely on the next level and the decision for the judges was hard. In the end, Eileen Koontz and Forrest Bailey walked away ...

Heat two was Lawrence&apos;s turn to show what he&apos;s got in store for the new year, and he convincingly tore through the Anaheim circuit to win by a comfortable margin.
