Ian Roberts pit set up

Saturday Ian had a bit of a rough run he Holeshoted moto 1 then crashed and finished 4th. Was leading going into the first corner in moto 2 when Rius center punched him and took him out, finishing 8th.
 
Sunday was another story ‘Ian took 2nd in Pro Ski GP almost taking 1st for the overall,’ said Chris MacClugage , who was at the event watching the whole thing go down. Ian holeshoted moto 1 and won it. In the second moto he had a close race with Warner who ultimately was able to hold Roberts at bay for the win. Leaving Roberts with a 2nd overall for the weekend.

Liquid Militia will be attending the IJSBA World Finals but we will not be having a booth this year.

When? and Where? Sept. 29 – Oct. 7, Crazy Horse Campgrounds, Lake Havasu City, AZ

We have thought long and hard about doing this event for 2012. And we have come to the conclusion that we are not going to have a booth this year. We have been doing this event for the past 6 years. We have decided to take a break from all the hustle and bustle for 2012.

Why? because we get so wrapped up in our booth that we don’t seem to have any time to hang out with our team riders and actually watch them race. So we want to use this year to focus 100% on our team riders and provide them the maximum amount of support we can offer.

We are going to work on something totally new and exciting for 2013. We we return to the World Finals, and when we do we will have a totally different booth set up and a full new product range to show off.

Ryan & Kyla from Liquid Militia Photo By: Ronny Mac

We know a lot of people will be bummed out not to see the legit Liquid Militia Booth this year but no worries we will still be attending so if you see us walking around we will actually have more time to chat with everyone. We are proud to announce that we have teamed up with Hydro-Turf , McGraw Insurance and ProRider Watercraft Magazine for the 2012 Ride and Grind World Finals Party at Kokomos. All the info is shown on this flyer below \/ We all have a few “SPECIAL” things planned for this party night so don’t be lame and miss out.

Liquid Militia is proud to be apart of this event.

If anything changes or comes up we will update it right here on this post so check back for any updates.

WITH THAT BEING SAID WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE FOLLOWING LIQUID MILITIA TEAM RIDERS WILL BE COMPETING AT THE WORLD FINALS THIS YEAR:
Chris MacClugage

Ian Roberts had a rough weekend at the last round in Lake Perris but still took 3rd overall.

I had a rough weekend at the Lake Perris IJSBA National, but it was worth all the headaches to hangout with and represent the best sponsors in the industry, Liquid Militia and Kommander Industries Thanks again for the support. Hey it wasn’t all bad, I won one moto to finish 3rd overall in Am open after a DNF in the first moto.

Ian Roberts 3rd Place Overall

Ian’s headache started out when his transmission blew a few hours from home in Reno NV while in route to Southern California. His truck transmission blew the F up. Fellow LM rider Pete Zernik was already here at the LM HQ when he broke us the news. Pete was determined to help get Ian on the road. And if that meant finding a rental car, that’s what was going to happen. Pete somehow managed to get U haul to cancel another persons reservation and give it to Ian ha ha (stuff was said that I can not mention).

Ian satisfied with his win

Ian hitched up his trailer onto his super classy U Haul and tossed in all his gear and was on the way. A little behind scheduled not a lot of time for testing but all in all he made it and that’s what counts.

Podium- 3rd Overall

Thanks, Ian

Rider Ian Roberts west coast nationals from Parker AZ, re cap
Ian Roberts finishes fourth overall in pro am ski GP. Ian had a gnarly yard sale crash during one of his moto’s. It happened on the front stretch, right in front, as he was passing the flagging tower. His steering totally came apart tossing him along the water. “It was just one of those totally random things that just happen”, says Ian. Ian had a solid lead in this race he was pulling away from the pack, and not to mention this was on the last lap. Everyone watching on the Live stream could not believe it, but that’s racing you take the good and the bad. Overall Ian had a great run with a top 5 finish.
