2007 X Games

Starting with jump practice at Lake Elsinore MX Park where a full-size replica of the X Games jump was constructed. Paladin arrived just in time to take a few practice laps and boost the gap. This was an Evel yump!

Then the Team headed to practice in the Home Depot Center Stadium. Paladin Crew Chief Phil Ho and driver Matt Iorio dialed the suspension in while Ole Holter created pace notes for the Super Special.

Sunday brought the Super Special and a rushed practice after complications transforming the Moto X course into the Super Special gap. Once the racing was underway, Iorio was seeded against eventual gold medal winner Tanner Foust.

In search of extra speed, Iorio pushed hard and clipped a barricade, losing precious seconds. Foust crushed his competition round after round - until he arrived at Gold.
