Topping the Pro podium, Ricky’s last appearance at Hannegan for the WHS was in 2019 when the conditions were far different.

Really had a great time, and was happy to finish on the podium!”

I’m just happy the bike had no issues and want to thank all my sponsors and my mechanic, Bobby, and Timmy who came out. “Everybody had issues with the lappers there were guys everywhere all over the track, bikes were abandoned, it was crazy. But it was mayhem out there, and I had a blast!” Dante said. “Slick Rick got the best of me today, but it was a good battle for two laps or so! He was just consistent pushing and pushing, and I wish I would have given him a little more of a battle.

It was just full survival mode, the track was pretty gnarly and lappers were a huge factor, just digging their bikes in trying to maneuver around them was tricky! But I had a blast still, stoked my brother and I made the trek up to Washington.” Dante Oliveira led off the start and went on to finish second.ĭante was somewhat disappointed with his second-place finish in the pro class. “It was a good race today,” he said, “not the best start, but I made short work of my competitors and got out to the front by the second lap. “I just try to move quickly, but it is hard when there is so much mud and people everywhere, it is a lot! Frustrating day, but I am happy to still finish on the podium.”Īt the end of the race, a filthy yet satisfied, Mateo Oliveira recapped his day. Lappers quickly became a huge factor, and after derailing a chain in the deep mud and suffering even more lost time, the 3 Bros Kilmartin GasGas rider, Redondi, went into full survival mode. Due to massive amounts of rain this year, the shortened course was thick with mud and after only a few laps, the deep ruts grew and started swallowing up the bikes. But that wasn’t the only hardship he faced this round. Regardless, he held that position for over two hours. “I was in second gear for a bit but somehow it went into first, and I had to finish the race in first gear.” “I lost my shifter on the second lap, it broke off,” said Redondi. Mateo led the Pro 250 class the entire race and finished third overall, which included passing current Pro-class points leader Giacomo Redondi, who suffered a mechanical en route to third. “We grew up racing this series, and it’s always cool to get back to your roots and what you know,” said KTM RPM Racing’s Mateo, (the younger of the two brothers). Ricky Russell en route to victory at the Bark Buster West Hare Scrambles in Washington. The event took place at Hannegan Speedway in Bellingham, Washington, on June 19, where a large turnout of racers filled the paddock, including the Oliveira Brothers, Dante, and Mateo.

I definitely feel pretty dumb but honestly will take this as a lesson even if I don’t get my money back.Coastal Racing GasGas rider Ricky Russell earned the nickname “Slick Rick” after dominating the “mudder” Bark Buster Hare Scramble presented by the NHHA, round four of the AMA Western Hare Scrambles Series presented by Mojo Motorsport. Any way don’t be like me and not do adequate research into your trainers before paying them lots of money. I of course would never do this and that was my first red flag. he actually suggested using a spray bottle on my pup if he got too hyper. The trainer I worked with was very kind and seemed knowledgeable however the training methods are oldschool. However after hiring them and doing the research (had to dig deep) I found the not so good reviews as well. They have ALOT of really great reviews which is what I found appealing. I guess this post is just a bit of a warning for those considering hiring the company. I contacted head office and The women I spoke to was actually really understanding and kind so I am hoping they will follow through with some sort of a refund. Which seems like a lot but they have a “life time guarantee. I paid almost 1200$ for the bark busters program. after the resources and research I immediately went back to the positive reinforcement using treats methods. The methods scared my poor pup, hence why I posted to see if other had a similar experience. using your voice to mimic the mothers growl and to overall establish yourself as a “leader” of the pack. After receiving great resources I did some research (should have done this before hiring them lol) and largely found the methods used by the company I.e. Hi everyone! I posted recently that I hired a trainer for my pup that used the pack leader theory.
