MAKAI OLERICH - Spring A Ding Ding 2023 Recap

Speeding around the Underground MX circuit amongst various classes, Arizona's Makai Olerich would shift his riding style from the native soil(s) of the Southwest to that of the rutted Texas terrain for the Spring A Ding Ding event. And by all means, would he accelerate as the grooves grew deeper; which led to a well-respected fifth-place overall score being clenched in the 250 C category, before exhibiting a phenomenal championship-level performance in the 125 C division. It was on the 2-stroke, where the number 830 flourished — as he was crowned victorious when the final flag waved!
