Feb. 10, 2010 Simi Valley, CA:  This Saturday on February 13, 2010, Supercross will partner with Komen For The Cure in hosting the first-ever breast cancer awareness Supercross race at Anaheim Stadium. 

All contributions from the event will go directly to the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walk.

For O’NEAL, established in 1970, this is a special event as O’NEAL has been a long time contributor in the fight against cancer. For this reason, Any 3 series or 5 series Helmets purchased from www.oneal.com on

February 13th or February 14th 2010 will have all the net proceeds paid directly to City of Hope for the continued fight against Cancer.

 

In addition, O’NEAL will be outfitting multi time Champion Grant Langston in a custom made set of signature plaid Hardwear race wear this weekend with a pink twist. O’NEAL’S Senior Product Designer 

Eric 'Rudy' Rudolph said "I knew Grant would definitely want to be a part of the A3 Cancer Awareness considering his own personal battle with Eye Cancer. He loves loud gear, so I decided to go with a custom

set of bright Pink Plaid Hardwear Gear made especially for him for this momentous night."

 

This weekends race event hits home specifically for Multi time champion O’NEAL rider Grant Langston. Grant was diagnosed with Melanoma of the eye in 2008, which at the time was considered to be a career 

ending injury. Grant was able to successfully fight the disease and return to racing in 2010 aboard the J-law Racing/AM-PM/Boost Mobile/Langston Motorsports backed YZF 450. Grant is in full support of the Breast 

Cancer Awareness theme for this weeks supercross, stating ”I’m excited to see Supercross get involved in a great cause! As a fellow cancer survivor, this helps to get more people aware and involved in fighting the 

disease. I would also like to thank O’NEAL for the special pink gear which will be auctioned off for charity after the race.”

Tonight on DMXS Radio

Factory Rockstar Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey made the most of his eventful night in San Francisco and maintains a comfortable cushion in the championship battle. With the top two contenders out, the potent rookie finds himself as the unlikely target for the field after four rounds are now in the books. It has been a while since a rookie has so fully prepared for the step up to the big bikes and Ryan made it clear at the season opener that he’s ready for the fight.

Geico Powersports Honda’s Trey Canard won his first race of the year and is looking to build on that momentum in hopes of making a legitimate run at Jake Weimer in the second half of the AMA Supercross West Lites series. Trey has always been a popular guest with the listeners on our show for his quirky sense of humor and honesty so we hope he brings his good stuff tonight.

There have been some true characters in our sport over the years and few as infamous in the South as Matt “Stalker” Walker. The fiery competitor was never lacking in controversy or heart throughout his career and made a few headlines in his day. Even though he is no longer stalking the competition, Matt is still heavily involved in our sport as a coach and trainer. We will catch up with our southern neighbor tonight and hear the latest on his riders and his take on the season so far.

Monster Energy Supercross is going pink for Anaheim 3 and is teaming up with the Susan G. Komen For The Cure to help raise awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer. Our good friend Shasta Johnson is spearheading this and will be on tonight to give us all the details. She will also be joining thousands of dedicated men and women for the San Diego Breast Cancer 3-Day walk to further the effort. Please make plans to wear pink at Anaheim 3 and check out www.komen.org to find ways to get involved!

Kawasaki will go pink for Breast Cancer Awareness on February 13th.

Courtesy of Kawasaki
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. today announced plans to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research and the Susan G. Komen For The Cure® organization. The company will teach non-riders to ride motorcycles during a 24-hour dirt bike rider training marathon on the eve of the February 13 Monster Energy® Supercross race in Anaheim, Calif.
The Anaheim event, round six of the 2010 Monster Energy Supercross Series, will feature a pink motif throughout the program. Riders and teams will wear pink and the motorcycles will also carry the color to draw more attention to breast cancer awareness.

To help promote the cause, Kawasaki will host five training schools during a 24-hour period on Friday, February 12. The schools, which are free to the public with a donation to breast cancer research, are four-hour introductory courses that will be held at Kawasaki's U.S. headquarters in Irvine, Calif. The dirt bike course is an ideal way for beginners to learn the fundamentals of off-road riding and basic two-wheeled dynamics. Throughout the day, professional instructors will teach fundamentals, while Kawasaki celebrity guests will be on hand to cheer on the new riders - and maybe even offer a riding tip or two.

Participants not only have the opportunity to learn to ride and help fight breast cancer, they will also receive an amazing array of freebies, including a ticket to the Anaheim Supercross the next day, a track walk and an exclusive tour of the Monster Energy Kawasaki pit area.

"Everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer," said Jan Plessner, Kawasaki's Public Relations Manager. "We wanted to do something unique to show Kawasaki support and at the same time, provide a large-scale and fun opportunity for new riders to get trained."

To reserve your spot in one of the limited-space classes, please contact Lauren Oldoerp at l.oldoerp@freemanmccue.com or (714) 557-3663 ext. 203. Was this post helpful? Add yours to our service or subscribe to our feed above.

The auction is scheduled to take place during the intermission between the first and second set of motos.
