Big Waves and Beautiful Days at Pensacola Beach! Hidden Trails Pro Watercross National Tour Update
Big Waves and Beautiful Days at Pensacola Beach! Hidden Trails Pro Watercross National Tour UpdateStory & Photos: Pro Watercross Tour MediaThe 2nd round of the Hidden Trails Yamaha Pro Watercross Tour was held in Pensacola Beach for the 2nd consecutive year with the assistance of the Pensacola Sports Association and Santa Rosa Island Authority. The surf was huge due to a storm in the Gulf of Mexico and the waves were breaking between 6-8 feet, however the weather was outstanding...sunny with a nice breeze. The racers would once again have to battle the water conditions which made for some extremely exciting racing on the Emerald Coast.The Pro Ski GP Class, with the new format, which qualifies down to 1 main event, was absolutely thrilling and it was a battle of attrition to make it to the podium. Chris MacClugage, sponsored by Monster Energy/Macc Racing/Bullett Racing would have a rough start, suffering a breakdown in the qualifier, which would send him to the end of the starting line that would not dampen the spirits of the fearless racer! Dustin Motzuris, riding for the Kommander/Rockstar camp would grab the holeshot and win a Flounder's Restaurant gift certificate, but on the second lap would take a water sample and Macc was back in business and the lead and would continue and dominate in the surf conditions to land him in 1st Place. Motz held on to 2nd, and Rob Flores and Bill "Hurricane" Haig, sponsored by Imagination Fabrication, battle through the intense surf and Haig would come out on top for the final spot on the podium.Pro Freestyle was off the chain in the surf as Jace Forest, of Austin, Texas, would face off against, "The Destroyer" Jason Stoyer, of Clearwater, Florida. Stoyer would be the 1st to take to the water, after having a broken nozzle on Saturday, cutting his routine short. Jason performed 21 tricks, with a good mix of flip and helicopter variations mixed with old scholl surf tricks and flair and the judges awarded him a 27.8 out of a possible 30 and the bar was set. Forest, sponsored by Team XScream knew exactly what he needed to do! Forest opened with a nice 4-trick combo and had momentum, then went silent for 30 seconds, leaving a short lull in his run, to the displeasure of the judges...and it would be that lull that netted him a 26.9 and just short of a win. Congrats to Jason and "Pop Tart" Chris Langlais, who won Amateur, and special thanks to judges Robby G, Kamikaze Kantz, and Chris Anyzeski.The Pro Runabout Stock offered up the most exciting racing of the weekend exciting as Eric Francis, Abdullah Alfadhel, and Brian Baldwin, would do battle on the ever-changing course. Alfadhel, of Kuwait City, Kuwait, would earn the holeshot in the 3rd moto, but he needed help after getting separated from his boat in the 1st moto and placing 4th. Alfadhel's Dean's Team teammate, Brian Baldwin started in 2nd place and Francis in 3rd. There were major battles between the 3 during the 8 laps of frenzied madness. Francis needed to get past Baldwin to take the Overall and Baldwin managed to hold him off until the last lap and the Kawasaki pilot was able to negotiate his Ultra 310 around Baldwin and hold on for a Alfadhel in 2nd and Baldwin in the 3rd place positionThe Pro Runabout Open Class was again another battle between Francis, Alfadhel and Baldwin, and there wouldn't be much difference in the Stock Class with almost the exact same results. It was not only a battle of OEM's, but a battle of pride which made spectator-friendly racing during the weekend. Francis and Alfadhel traded moto victories in the 1st two motos, so it would come down to the 3rd and final moto! Alfadhel, of Kuwait City, Kuwait, would grab the holeshot and hold on for most of the race, but the heavier Kawasaki proved to be the "wave crusher" on this particular weekend, same results for you top three as the Stock Class!The newest Class of the "Pro Show" the Sport GP Class and they have earned their recognition by coming to the races in full force! Kelly Smith, of Team Faith Racing, appeared to be the one to beat after winning the 1st 4 moto's of the season and crusin to a holeshot in the 2nd moto, and that is when depression sat in, K. Smith would get separated from his HX and end up in 7th, leaving the door open, but it wouldn't be for race favorite, Glen Jung, sponsored by optimaracing.com, as Jung had a mechanical problem in the 1st moto that landed him in 9th place, but finished strong with 2nd place finishes in the final 2 motos. Sam Nehme, of Broward Motorspots, looked to be the favorite headed in the 3rd moto with a 3/1 finish in the 1st 2 motos, then Sam went for a swim at a most inopportune time during the 3rd moto and Chris Hyslop, of Tom's River, New Jersey would charge hard, but Nehme edged him out for 2nd place. The "Ironman" of the weekend, would prove to be the "other" Smith, Johnny, who races for Trinity Composites and Jet Pilot USA...Johnny rode brilliantly and stayed consistent with a 3/2/1 finish giving him the Overall and his 1st tour victory, well deserved!!A very special thanks to all who attended the event in Pensacola Beach and a great job to the hard-working staff that had to overcome many obstacles to make this a successful event!
