Supercross Racers and Hundreds of Mountain Bikers - Specialized A1 MTB Ride 6

The morning after the opening round of the 2023 Supercross season in Anaheim, some of moto's fastest racers joined hundreds of fans to ride mountain bikes on The Luge trail in Orange County for the annual Specialized A1 MTB ride. Jett Lawrence, Chase Sexton, Cooper Webb, Colt Nichols, Wil Hahn, Johnny O'Mara and more have a great day of shredding.

Screw Specialized.  They just bought all 5 stores in our region & then immediately closed one, leaving an entire riding scene without a shop.
I'm not close enough friends with the previous owner to ask if it met his expectations.

But they screwed over an entire community.  I'd love to know if he knew they were going to shutter his baby if he would have rather ditched Specialized at that shop and sold the business to someone in the community/ Cherokee Tribe who had the passion but didn't have the high profit margin requirement of a corporation looking to feed the CEO a big bonus check.

Motion Makers Bicycles Cherokee

Hey y’all!

As many of you now know, Motion Makers was recently acquired by Specialized Bicycles. I know what you’re thinking, “does that mean a lot of changes?” Well, no, not really. Our entire staff, whose passion to deliver an excellent experience which has been one of the foundations of our business, will still be here to greet you with a smile. ..... and we can’t wait to get out and support even more of our awesome local community events."

Oh...and really could care less if it was or was not losing money prior to the purchase.  Sick of corporate math rather than community based ethics.
