This Saturday, the world’s fastest two-wheeled racers are tearin' up some dirt at MetLife Stadium for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship. Ryan Kristafer caught up with a rider from Bayville, New Jersey – Cory Carsten. He comes from a family of racers, with his Dad still riding.
"It’s pretty cool," Carsten said. "This is my first time here racing, actually. I have been coming here since I was a kid hoping I would be one of those guys one day.""For me, it’s just about getting all the jumps down… the rhythm… trying to get my fast lap in for qualifying," Carsten said. Operation director, Bill Heras, said 600 dump truck loads of dirt are trucked in to craft the high-flying jumps, spins and twists."So the dirt is stored here in a stockpile ," Heras said. "It’s left in a big mound and kind of smoothed out, so it doesn’t get fully saturated with water, but it gets water throughout the year, and then we dig it out – put it in trucks, bring it out here . As you can see they’re shaping the dirt, and it’s pretty tall – maybe 5 ft.
The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship revs up Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
