The bees had their very first gymkhana on what can only be described as a perfect spring day. At 5:30 we set off for the rooftop parking lot in Provo. With only a couple hiccups with scooters, (Unfortunate event with Lee’s scooter) the club rolled up to the parking lot. Upon arriving, the club members were excited to roll on the freshly chalked up course and get their scooters ready to weave, speed, and slide their way to the finish line. After we parked and socialized, the course was explained, and our riders took their mark.
Once they left that starting line, each racer dashed through the course. Very impressive scores were set by all the scooter club members, but Ryan Van Fleet set the bar high at an impressive 31 seconds.
Then Dave Hurtado arrived at the starting line. From start to finish, you could tell that his racing style was ruthless, maniacal, and showed no restraint. He crossed the finish line and skidded to a stop at 29 seconds. After that, no one came near the new time set. Dave was awarded the new award of Gymkhana Master and will hold that title firm until next time. Check out all the awards people have won here! When that is? Who knows. Next stop, MOAB!
