Alright, I'm in WTH. Was not going to play and not worry about it, but what the fork! The beer told me to do it! lolol
Did you seen rookie Julien Beamers(17 and from Havasu and representing Havasu!)qualifying lap time? wtf man, nice! As a rookie ans his first Pro SX race they put him in group B and he qualified 3rd overall lol, amazing!
He's a sleeper in the 250 class, lookout if he can hold it together!
Julien Beamer's Dad is Lillian Beamer, they are from Havasu. Lillian came from France with Nicholas Rius(standup/sitdown world champion) as his tuner and later on he ran a mechanic's ski shop and used parts place here in Havasu for a long time. I have known him for a long time and have bought a ton of parts from him, he also used to program my MSD TL for me. Great guy!
Well here is some secret sauce that you dont hear to much about salaries and what not in SX/MX. I found out from Lillian that when Julien went to KTM a couple months ago as a rookie he gets starting 200K for a season, if he gets injured anytime during race season, he only get 100K of it. I think thats pretty damn good for a 17 year old! So exciting to see him rep Havasu and hear the announcer say it. lol
Julien started riding standups and a child and is a wicked good racer on a ski too... Lillian taught that boy right!
