This weekend the Ridge Riders are hosting one the best events in the ECEA FAST KIDZ SERIES. Where else can you ride a course designed and created by one the greatest off road riders that ever threw a leg over a dirt bike, and a living legend in our sport, our own Mr. Drew Smith.


Drew promises a nice of mix of challenging trails and a fantastic grass track. Come on out and make the drive, you will not be disappointed! This weekend will be the fourth rock race of the PA / NY schedule and should challenge all who attend.

Who is up for the challenge? We had a few new names at the top at VFTR last round. Awesome Allen Adkins came out on top of the 50 class, upsetting Jumping Joey Scotto. Allen got off to a great start and never looked back!<br style="mso-special-character:line-break"> <br style="mso-special-character:line-break">

In the 110 trail class Trophy Hunter Keen came from behind and beat Slamming Sam Barry in a awesome battle. Something tells me this two will be battling again. I am sure Connor The Rocket Tomlin will be watching from the sidelines while recovering from an injury.

Can Mikey The Machine Beeler ever be beat in the 7 - 9 65 class? This is starting to sound like a broken letter. He continued his undefeated streak at VFTR. Not only did The Machine win the 7-9 he also pulled off a double victory, with a win in 10-11 65 youth class also. Maybe we should change his name to Double Trouble. Rumor has it The Machine is going GNCC racing next year, so maybe KTM is keeping an eye on him after all! Jammin Jason Tino is getting faster every week, and an upset cannot be that far off.

Not to mention the future AA riders in the series! Finally someone upset Thunder Thorn Devlin. Hurricane Hunter Bush had a crazy battle with Jarrett Madman Mohn. With two laps to go Hurricane got around the Madman for the win.

Justin Lafferty got his first win of the year in the 10-12 85 class! Awesome ride Justin!

Zachary Z-Man Souders once again is the one to beat in the 11-15 4 stroke class so far this year! Z-man dominated VFTR and lapped the field!

We want thank all of you for attending VFTR and Please come on out and support the ECEA FAST KIDZ SERIES Round 7, being held by the Ridge Riders in Deposit, NY this weekend.

Come support the series where the National Champions were groomed and Future Champions are created !!

Rick you could not have said it any better. Where on the East Coast can any one ride a more diversified amount of events. The ECEA has been producing more Champions than any other organization in the planet. It all starts with the ECEA Fast Kidz and that is just the beginning.

So to all you little Champions out there, ride all the races the ECEA has and at the end of the year, one of you will be a Champion. This weekend is the Hardwoods HS which is a awsome race. The next event for you mini monsters is the all new, never before, first time " Half Moon HS ". Specifically designed and laid out to be one of the best off road races ever that you will ride. Why you ask, simple answer. It is a ECEA event and put on by the Valley Forge Trail Riders. It is a combination of grass track, enduro trail, woods and sweet berms thrown in for good luck. Get ready for another blast of fun this weekend from the Ridge Boys, they do a great job so come out and enjoy what the ECEA has to offer at the Hardwoods HS.
