Every year we look forward to gathering in Florida for Mini O's. This year they presented their 48th annual event with a jam-packed pit, full of competitors. As luck would have it, we had a couple of our brand guys on site to take in the action and they were very impressed with the number of riders decked out in FXR gear. Events like this allow us the opportunity to meet riders we would otherwise only know them by their social media posts so it was great to get an opportunity to chat one-on-one with riders and learn more about their program. Let's take a look at the week at Gatorback Cycle Park.
