DC Shoes at Anaheim Supercross
The DC Moto x Toyota truck made an appearance on the track during the tough block challenge at the recent AMA Supercross event in Anaheim, CA. The 2012 Supercross series made its way back to Anaheim, CA this past Saturday for the highly anticipated A2 race. DC Shoes had a great time in the pits and watching the races and couldn’t have asked for better weather. You have to love that Southern California, as usual, had sunny skies and temperatures in the low 80’s the first weekend in February. Just like A1 last month, the pits were packed and the race was sold out.
The crowds made for another great DC team autograph signing with the lines wrapping far out around the DC booth. Athletes Jeremy McGrath, Nate Adams, Hunter Hewitt, Josh Hill, Malcolm Stewart, Tommy Searle, and Adam Cianciarulo all came by to meet race fans and sign autographs. While the race wasn’t officially a Breast Cancer Awareness race this year, many fans riders and fans still sported pink to show their support. The DC Shoes booth gave a few touches to show their support for the cause and the Keep A Breast Foundation.
