Boise, ID (01/31/2010) -
HotSeat/Yamaha rider Justin Waters started
his second full Pro year in the WORCS ATV
Nationals right where he left off last season
marching up the leader board. For Round
One at Speedworld in Phoenix AZ last weekend,
he posted a 6th place finish, his best so
far.
I had great battles nearly the whole
way through - with Tim Shelman the first
half of the race, fighting for seventh
or eighth. I got around him when he pitted,
then he passed me and I had to pass him
back. Then it took me a couple laps and
I caught up with Dillon [Zimmerman] and
I chased him hard the last part of the
race.
Sometimes it can hurt you if the person
you are close to is slow because it can
make you slow your pace without even realizing
it. But
this time I know it made me push harder
the whole way because these
are obviously some of the top riders.
Most of the time I could see the
rider in front of me at least several
times each lap, so I knew if I
was catching up or losing time on him.
The strategy worked well and Justin kept
his pace strong the entire
two hours, starting 8th in the field and
finishing a strong 6th place
on his YFZ450R, his highest finish in
WORCS since his Pro debut last
season.

Moto Activ will be providing aluminum
hard parts for the team, including nerfs
and front bumpers.
I'm glad to be working with MotoActiv
on their new ATV products they are using
machining that no one else is right now,
to get precise fit and alignment. With
parts that take as much abuse as bumpers
and nerfs, it's important to be able to
change them out quickly if necessary and
not worry about fit.
Forma Boots are't new to the industry,
but they are new to the US.
These boots have the top-of-the-line
features that racers demand, but they
are more comfortable than any other boot
I've worn at half the price. I was hesitant
to try a brand I hadn't heard of because
it's so essential to have the right ones,
to be able to really move in your boots.
But even just putting them on the first
time and walking around they felt different.
And aggressive riding will really sell
you on
them.
