# Perfect Weather Sandwiched by Storm Systems

 The 2023 Supercross Anaheim on Jan 7th is the season opener. That means there were a lot of resources both money and human thrown into this event. Fanfest is a good glimpse of this celebration of the supercross event.

It was very uncharacteristic that southern California has such pouring storms and non-stop rainy days leading to the event. Then suddenly the sky opened up for the day and it brought every a very sunny, or to the degree of feeling-skin-burning level of sunlight.

It gave the Fanfest a perfect environment to enjoy and have fun before the nail-biting races later the night.   

One thing is always good so far for many years is that the ticket to the Fanfest is basically an empty can of Monster drink. If you got an empty Monster Energy drink can just bring it to the event, and they will stamp your wrist and you will get into the Fanfest free. Otherwise, you would need to pay some substantial money to get the ticket and get stamped to get in. What a deal!

Once We entered, it was a whole party scene again like every year! And it's time to have fun (for the fans) and to happily work (for us).

# Buzzling Crowd Around Various Racers and Teams

At the Fanfest, people were surrounded by ear-pumping festival music and visual stimuli. There were many vendors at the show offering different products and services.

  

The most important aspect of the Fanfest is the opportunity to check out all the bikes that will be used to compete at the season-opening race. Many of them have their war marks shown, including the dirt on bikes' wheels, and their sponsor logos and decals.

Plus many times, fans may find their favorite racer or riders at the Fanfest, autographing or chatting with folks. These were the only up-close and personal moments that fans could get at any time. They are precious.

# Models from Monster, and Other Vendors

Monster Energy is the major and lead sponsor of the Supercross series. They always brought out their amazing models to the big Monster Energy stand right close to the entrance. The super booming music and constant flow of attendee traffic made it a must-go stop at the Fanfest.

There were other vendors who also brought models, especially Progressive Insurance. They really brought some of the top models to the show and we were glad to see them again after a long pandemic dark period. They all looked sunny and happy. We think the event season is really back in full force now!

# Wowing Stunt Motorcycle Showcase

At one period of time in the afternoon, many people surrounded the motorcycle flying stunt demo venue. There were several riders both male and female. They perform these high-flying stunts that would make you hold your breath while they were up in the air, probably 3 stories high. Their beautiful work simply demonstrated the fine skills that they possess and the daring acts that pushed the boundary. Our hats off to these amazing professionals!

# The Supercross Fanfest Tradition Carried On

Overall, this year's SXA1 Fanfest is like the previous ones. It has loud music, very enthusiastic fans, a jaw-dropping motorcycle stunt show, great chances to meet the celebrity and competing racers, and of course the Monster Energy models and other vendor girls. The great energy was pumping in the air and in the fans. It provided a great opportunity to prepare the attendees for the ultimate dirt bike racing competition at the night.
