Coming out to this show, it’s going to be a show that you will never forget. Honestly. Kacie: I want them to know that it is such an amazing show and not just because I’m in it (she laughs). Even if you’ve never seen anything like what the riders do and the motocross guys do – for me after the first time I ever saw what they do I could honestly say that I’m a fan of SMS rid- ers and what they do and how they execute it.
