Florida Moto News (FLMN) visited the famous Gatorback Cycle Park in Gainesville, Florida for the first round of the 2013 Florida Gold Cup. The "Florida" Gold Cup is a prestigous event, attracting motocross riders from all over the country. Riders come to Gatorback Cycle Park especially, to test their skills against some of the country's fastest motocross athletes. FLMN had the privelege of watching this wonderful race event, and witnessing the tireless efforts of the Gatorback Cycle Park staff in providing racers with a fun, safe and exciting race environment.

Unlimited Sports MX and Gatorback Cycle Park owner Wyn Kern recently hired Mark Barnett (3 time AMA National Motocross Champion and Supercross Champion) to re-design and re-build the Gatorback supercross track for this year's Mini O's. Barnett also upgraded and re-designed the motocross track, and riders seemed to really enjoy the new changes.
