Rocky Mountain ATV*MC/KR4/FAR Team Announces
2016 Arrive-N-Ride Program Details
Five Different Husqvarna Models Available For Bike Rental Program
The Rocky Mountain ATV*MC/KR4/FAR team is pleased to announce details for its Arrive-N-Ride program, available at all 13 rounds of the 2016 Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series. The KR4 Arrive-N-Ride program offers the unprecedented opportunity to rent a fully-prepped Husqvarna race bike without the hassle of transportation, race prep or cleanup.
Entering their fourth consecutive season in 2016, the team’s highly trained staff has created an effortless experience for racers and families, allowing them to simply Arrive-N-Ride on race weekends. The process is just as easy as it sounds: pick out your bike of choice and KR4 will transport your fully-prepped machine to the race. Once you arrive, sign up for the race and come to the Rocky Mountain ATV*MC/KR4/FAR transporter where your professionally trained mechanic will help set the bike up to your preference.
“The Arrive-N-Ride experience allows riders and their families a chance to really enjoy the race weekend,” said Rocky Mountain ATV*MC/KR4/FAR Team Manager Fred Andrews. “A KR4 mechanic will accompany riders on the start line and we even take care of the pit stops and any adjustments that need to happen during the race.”
As soon as the race is over, the rider brings the bike back to the Rocky Mountain ATV*MC/KR4/FAR transporter and the team will take care of the clean-up, tear-down and transportation of the equipment.

The goal with Ride Engineering’s ’16 KX450 was to improved the handling over the previous generations since t still has a hinged, top heavy feel that inherently says ‘Kawasaki’. Their new green machine was outfitted with Ride Engineering’s products and combined with other accessories from FMF, Bridgestone, SDG, Think, Motostuff, ProTaper and Renthal to make it easier to turn, lighter (227lbs) and snappier than the showroom model. Factory Connection suspension also allowed the machine to handle Milestone’s new track.
THE ASTERISK AC BREATHER SYSTEM

You’ve seen it on the pros for the past year, those nose stickers with little metal dots in the center and red clips in the nose pieces of rider’s goggles…
The Asterisk AC System™ is a two part magnetic nasal dilation device for use in off-road motorcycling, snow-sports, and MTB goggles. The purpose of this device is to enhance your nasal breathing ability. Studies show that nose breathing is the only way to properly condition the air you breathe for optimum performance. The AC SYSTEM™ functions magnetically. The steel nasal attachments and magnetic goggle clips cause the nostrils to dilate, enhancing your ability to nose breathe beyond normal capacity.
Mouth breathing leads to over-breathing, hyperventilation, depleted carbon dioxide levels, vasoconstriction (constriction of the blood vessels), and reduced blood circulation during exercise. With nose breathing, the nostrils and sinuses filter and warm the air going into the lungs. When you exhale through your nose, expelled carbon dioxide (CO2) is trapped in the nasal passageway. The sinuses naturally produce nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxides along with carbon dioxide (CO2) are vasodilators. Vasodilation is the expansion of blood vessels. When blood vessels dilate the flow of blood increases. With each breath you take through your nose, the CO2 and NO reach the lungs first. This dilates the blood vessels and allows the oxygen (O) that follows to be better absorbed, delivering it to the brain and muscles faster… Mouth breathing bypasses this.
