Thumpstar attends Transworld Motocross Masters of Mini Pit bike series

August, 2006
Tuesday, august 22nd 2006- Thumpstar, being a title sponsor for the Masters of Mini pit bike series hosted by Transworld Motocross, put forth a good showing with Mike Leavitt, piloting the 2007 Mike Leavitt Special Edition TDX pro 12” signature series bike.

In the first College boy heat, Leavitt rode hard for a solid 2nd overall, overcoming a pile up in the second turn after the gnarly whoop section, which owned a few riders over the course of the evening. Mike then qualified for the main in the unlimited class via the last transfer spot due to technical difficulties.

At the start of the college boy main, Mike Leavitt jumped out of the gate first and ran 2 laps out front before suffering from a devastating carburetor mishap in the whoop section, causing him to not be able to navigate up front at 100% anymore. Pulling off, Thumpstar was hoping to fix and find the right tuning and jetting for the unlimited moto still to come. Leavitt then returned to action, this time piloting the 10” class bike to compete in the 12” unlimited class, in hopes to maintain points, and not to disappoint the fans. With an amazing start, Leavitt pushed the 10” thumpstar to a solid 2nd out of the gate, and a steady third before dropping to fourth, where he battled the bigger bikes to keep his spot. A harsh landing on the last lap would leave Leavitt to claim 6th overall, showing that it’s heart and persistence that keeps the sport going.
