Button, a former motocross rider once paralyzed in a Supercross practice accident 11 years ago, rode 2,428 miles from San Diego, Calif., to Daytona International Speedway with the objective of raising money for spinal cord research. Along with his trainer and longtime friend Cory Worf, he completed his ride with a victory lap around the storied 2.5-mile tri-oval.

I was invited to the 2nd Annual DC Moto TF Ride Day and Invitational Poker Tournament at Pala Raceway. It was a full day's 'work' for the DC Athletes; group photos, action shots, interviews, and lots of MX riding at Pala. And there was good game of Poker to raise money for Road 2 Recovery. The list of Athletes sponsored by the DC Shoes brand is a very impressive group making this Supercross assignment unique fun for me!
