Revvin' Up for Antler Lake MX: Hooligan's Guide to Track Prep!

Update:

This post was published 8 minutes prior to AOTMX cancelling Antler Lake and moving it to Westlock. Everything in here is still relevant to Kusters MX Track as well.


Alright, you bunch of motocross maniacs, listen up! We're about to dive into the nitty-gritty of track prep for AOTMX Round 5 & 6 at Antler Lake MX on June 24th and 25th. But before we get into the dirty details, we gotta address a couple of important matters. Brace yourselves, 'cause we're in for a wild ride!

Remember, this blog post is written by the Holeshot Hooligans, so if you're easily offended or have a stick up your exhaust, you've been warned...


First off, Mother Nature has been playing games with us recently. She's now teasing us with rain forecasts every damn day until the 23rd of June. Now, we all know that MX gods have a twisted sense of humor, so let's hope those rain clouds keep their promise and shower us with that sweet liquid goodness. We need it, people! The recent changes to the water policy at Antler Lake have messed with our watering game. We can no longer draw from the lake below the track, and that's a bummer. So, this rain is our golden ticket to keeping that dirt in prime condition.


Now, let's talk track maintenance, baby! It's all about that dirt, that sweet, sweet soil that holds our dreams and unleashes our adrenaline. And maintaining it? Well, it's an art form, my friends. We've got techniques and secrets up our sleeves that would make even the greenest of thumbs jealous.


First things first, we need to tackle the issue of dryness. This year has been drier than a popcorn fart in July, leaving our beloved tracks thirsty for some moisture lovin'. That's where the rain comes in, folks. It's our chance to recharge the dirt's batteries and give it that extra oomph. So, let's pray to the MX gods for a wet and wild week leading up to the races. We're talking rain dances, sacrificing old gear, and maybe even a bit of naked rain running. Whatever it takes, people!


Once we've harnessed the power of rain, it's time to get our hands dirty. We're talking tilling, diskings, and all that fancy jazz. It's like giving the soil a spa day, exfoliating and rejuvenating it to perfection. And let's not forget about the berms, those glorious curves that give us that sweet sensation of flying through the turns. We need to keep 'em prime and proper, sculpting them like Michelangelo chiseling David's six-pack abs. Our Hooligans and the rest of the AOTMX crew need to be ready to roll up their sleeves and get down and dirty. We're calling all hands on deck, people! The success of these upcoming races depends on each and every one of us stepping up to the plate. We've got skills, we've got determination, and damn it, we've got the muscle to make it happen. Let's show the world what a united AOTMX motocross family can do!


New Phone; Who Dis?

We've got one more important message to deliver before we send you off on your track-prepping adventure. Listen up, AOTMX board members, because this one's for you.

You've got a golden opportunity in your hands, a chance to make these upcoming races at Antler Lake MX truly spectacular. But here's the deal: time is ticking, and you can't afford to sit on your butts and leave the track prep until the last minute. Nope, that won't cut it.  Dale would be dissapointed.

We're giving you a little over a week and a half to get your shit together and organize this track like it's the motocross Olympics. It's time to step up to the gate, grab the throttle, get the equipment moved over and show us what you're made of. We've got faith in you, but faith alone won't get that track in tip-top shape.

We need you to rally the troops, assemble the track crew, and get those machines of dirt destruction rolling. Time is of the essence, my friends. Don't make the mistake of underestimating the importance of track prep. It sets the stage for epic battles, glorious victories, and heart-pounding action. We want a track that's so prime, so juicy, that even the MX gods themselves would shed a tear of joy.

So, AOTMX board members, it's time to unleash your inner Hooligans. Take charge, be leaders, and make these races a feast for the senses. We've got your backs, but we need you to step up and make it happen. Antler Lake MX is waiting, and we're counting on you to make it a motocross extravaganza that will be talked about for ages.
