Apparel’s Peyton Zimmerman grabbed two second place
finishes at the eighth round of the 2016 AMA ATV
Motocross National Championship at Spring Creek
MX in Millville, MN. Zimmerman rode in both the
Youth All Star and Schoolboy Sr. classes where he
took second in all four motos.
Zimmerman has been putting in the work during
his training and it paid off at Spring Creek.
“I felt great on Friday in practice and during
all four motos from the training I have been doing,
but I just could not make it happen,” explained
Zimmerman.

Peyton Zimmerman finished 2-2 in
the Youth All Star Class to earn second
overall |
The speed and intensity of the top competitors
in Zimmerman’s class is so close that it really
comes down the starts and who gets out front first.
“I got second or third out of every holeshot and
just battled the whole race.”
Zimmerman gave it is all trying to make his way
to first, but he just could not quite get by the
leader and ran into an issue on the track during
his final moto. “The last moto in Schoolboy Sr.,
they watered the face of the first uphill triple,
so I cased it pretty bad.”

Spring Creek is known for becoming quite rough
and challenging, but most riders agree that it
is one of the better events on the series. “It
is awesome. I love the track and the weather is
great. The scenery is awesome and it just has
a great vibe,” said Zimmerman of the Spring Creek
facility.
Zimmerman was prepared for the rough, sandy conditions
with his great setup. “The Elka suspension through
the rollers was just flawless, and in the starts
the Maxxis tires and PR2 motor just worked together
perfectly.”
Zimmerman will next compete close to home during
round nine of the 2016 AMA ATV Motocross National
Championship at Unadilla MX in New Berlin, NY
July 16-17.
