How a Motorcyclist Won an Anaheim Race That Never Happened
A video that circulated on social media in early January left fans of Supercross a style of motorcycle racing that involves sharp turns and high jumps both excited and perplexed.
In the video, acclaimed rider Justin “Bam Bam” Barcia claimed his third consecutive Monster Energy American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) Supercross Series victory at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California the circuit’s premier, season-opening event. There was only one problem, and some fans pointed it out immediately: the Anaheim race had been canceled.
The video was actually a publicity stunt concocted by Barcia’s sponsors, and has already logged over 100,000 views on Instagram.
