About ARF
Athlete Recovery Fund began in the wake of the 2007 season. Action sports athletes suffered some of the biggest injuries in history. At the time, there was nothing in place to provide benefits for these athletes. Athlete Recovery Fund is the only official 501 (C) 3 charity that provides benefits to injured skaters, BMXers and freestyle motocross riders. For more information, visit athleterecoveryfund.com

Loop'd is in Tennessee for the biggest amateur motocross race of the year - Loretta Lynn's.   While we're down here, we figured we'd bring you some updates on the racing and the vibe in the air. 

Yesterday was a hot one both racing wise and temperature wise.... The first motos of the Championships started today highlighted by Team Dunlop's Adam Cianciarulo flying to victory in the 85cc 12-13 stock class. Early in the the moto AC felt the pressure from Justin Hill until a fall from Hill allowed AC to move on to a easy moto win. In the 450 B Stock class California's Nick Paluzzi ran away for the moto win followed by fellow Californian Bryce Vallee.

The first moto of the 450A Pro Sport was easily taken by Canada's Dean Wilson followed by California's Travis Baker in second and Shawn Rife in Third. The best racing of the day by far came in the 250 A Pro Sport Class. American Honda's Taylor Futrell pulled the holeshot and opened up a sizeable gap on the field. Jason Anderson started off the Moto in 7th position and Blake Baggett was in around 10th after the first lap. Both riders put on a serious charge to the front and were by far the class of the field. Anderson over took the lead midway through the moto only to succumb to a mechanical failure while leading with a lap and a half in the race. Bagget charged hard all moto and in the last corner of the moto Baggett made a great move to take the lead right before the checkered flag. The top 3 for the moto went 1st-Blake Baggett, 2nd- Taylor Futrell and Les Smith in 3rd.
