After last weekend's amazing race in Toronto, excitement is high on the west coast as the Amp'd Mobile World Supercross series makes its next stop at Vancouver's BC Place stadium. Thursday is the traditional press day and local BC racers Kyle Beaton, who ran 5th for most of last weekends lights race before crashing out, and his good friend and competitor, Brock Hoyer came out to ride for the local Televison and Newspaper media.
