Aerocross - Tomorrows Sport, Today

Zane is the grandfather of Aerocross, since he named it.

We are waiting for our Red Bull checks, decals, and flight suits.

In the mean time stay tuned for new Swingle videos to come to a PC near you soon.

Re: Aerocross - Tomorrows Sport, Today

Just like some motocross tracks have a reputation for be gnarlier than others, each aerocross course can have different challenges, like airstrip length and roughness. Timed trials + compulsory full stop or 180 and takeoff the other direction... only from the mind of Swingle. Like all good motorsports, helmet required. :)

Those two were at our Elkhart Lake, WI race. They were incredible!! I'll see about uploading some of those pics. I didn't want to put them on FB. Maybe I'll sneak them on (just makes it easier to embed here).

Edit (edit to upload pics):

Here's the back side to the Monster girls. They were show stoppers for sure. And a big distraction for all of us (which was kind of good).
