The opening round of the 2010 Lucas Oil/AMA Pro Motocross Championships hit Hangtown OA, and there was a huge buzz, as bikes returned to the amazing outdoor arena.

We had our first ever international stand on site, and the thing was pumping! Loads of new Unit fans were dropping in, stoked to finally be able to get the gear after initially finding the brand in magazines and online. Keep an eye out at future rounds of the MX Championship, as we will be popping up with more soon.
