Orlando, FL - Scott’s own Primo Marotto visited the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) campus in Orlando, FL recently to conduct a seminar on the safety features and innovations of the Genius boot.
Between 40 and 50 students showed up for the two sessions conducted by Marotto. Emphasizing that the Genius is better categorized with the neck and knee braces that are now a standard in the motocross industry, Marotto detailed the characteristics that allow the boot to be more than just a piece of footwear.



The boot is designed to protect the foot and lower leg by utilizing rigid materials and an innovative pivot system. Primo explained how the DuPont materials provide better protection from impact than conventional leather and how the pivot system allow natural ankle movement while limiting over-extension.

The students at MMI welcomed Scott with open arms and were very encouraged by Scott’s drive to provide the best products for the industry they love. Thanks goes out to Chris Reo and the entire MMI staff for their hospitality. ]]> http://www.scottusa.com/news/article.php?UID=516 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0600 Read page...(PDF)

In MX2, Rui Goncalves nabbed a spot on the podium. When all was said and done, he finished 3rd. Rui has been improving every GP since his shoulder injury at the beginning of the season. Congratulations Rui. ]]> http://www.scottusa.com/news/article.php?UID=510 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0600 The 32-lap race offered up plenty of pavement, and most riders chose to run soft to medium compound tires. The large amount of pavement lent itself to passing opportunities, and Mark needed only two opportunities: one to pass David Pingree and one to pass the leader, Jeff Ward.
Early in the race Ward, Pingree, and Burkhart broke away from the rest of the field, making it a race for podium positions. With Ward up front, Pingree held off Burkhart for as long as he could, but Burkhart stayed patient and waited for his opportunity. Finally, he saw his chance, took it, and set his sights on Ward’s back wheel.
Maintaining his game plan, Burkhart stayed on Ward’s wheel and waited. Finally, in the 30th lap, opportunity rose again. Mark struck and took over the lead. Not willing to give back an inch, he lowered his head and raced toward the checkered flag. After a bobble by Ward in a rhythm section, Burkhart gained some separation and rode to a brilliant victory.

Congratulations Mark! ]]> http://www.scottusa.com/news/article.php?UID=509 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0600


In MX1 action Sebastien Pourcel finished 2nd overall, behind Kevin Strijbos.



Meanwhile Josh Coppins was unable to add to his points, due to a rock jammed in his rear brake in the 1st moto and crash in 2nd moto which resulted in an injured shoulder. Josh still has 77 points over Steve Ramon but won’t be able to race this upcoming weekend in Belgium. He will be back for the Irish GP in 2 weeks. ]]> http://www.scottusa.com/news/article.php?UID=508 Thu, 02 Aug 2007 00:00:00 -0600
