ATV Star Angela Moore is Ready to Ride in ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games VI
Celebration, Fla. – ATVs are roaring into ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games VI presented by Dodge at Disney’s Wide World of Sports ® Complex, July 8-10, with some of the best and brightest motor racing stars. 2004 and 2005 Dirt Riot Champion and five-time national event winner Angela Moore enters this year’s Games fresh off five wins in the GNC MX series and is one of the sports fastest rising talents.
Moore got her first taste of ATV racing action at the tender age of 4 years when her parents gave her a 4-wheeler as a gift. From that point on, Moore was hooked, and the 24-year-old has been racing competitively for the last 12 years.
“Four wheelers are my life,” Moore said. “I love to compete, and I love to race. My ultimate goal as a amature rider is to see this sport grow and be able to do what I love.
“The sport has been self-contained for the last 10 years without much support,” she added, “but we’ve all seen a big change in the last few years.”
ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games VI features two ATV events: Four Wheel Frenzy and Terracross. Moore will be revving her engine in the Four Wheel Frenzy. The final round of that competition is set for Saturday, July 9 at 8:30 p.m.
“I think people are starting to realize just how exciting the sport is. Most people don’t realize what you can do with a four-wheeler and are amazed to see us take jumps over 80 feet.”
Doubling, tripling and sometimes even quadrupling the weight of its rider, the racing ATV averages 350 pounds, while the utility ATV averages 650 pounds. Battling road obstacles, water hazards and tight turns, riders must maintain control of the vehicle at speeds up to 50 mph.
“ATV’s are very physically demanding and tough to handle for 20 to 23 minutes at a time,” said Moore. “You’ve got to stay in good condition to maintain control of the vehicle and keep it on the track.”
With five wins under her belt this year alone, Moore enters the Great Outdoor Games with confidence and excitement.
“I have a good idea of who I’ll be competing against,” said Moore. “We’re all pretty tight, and it’s going to be close, but I think I have an edge mentally since I can roost those guys.”
Moore’s favorite?
“I love running in the Open A class and putting the spank on those guys. They are extremely fast. It makes me a better racer.”
With the attention generated by the Great Outdoor Games, Moore hopes to increase exposure of the sport, attracting new fans and sending it into the mainstream of motor sport racing.
“Being a part of the Great Outdoor Games really means a lot to this sport,” said Moore. “It is one of the fastest growing motor sports right now, and, with the support of ESPN, it’ll help attract sponsors, fans and millions of viewers to really make it explode.
“If anybody misses the show, they’re going to be disappointed because it’s going to be awesome. I want to put on a good show, and I know it’ll be something worth watching!”
Fans can catch the Great Outdoor Games live July 7-10, 2005 at Disney's Wide World of Sports ® Complex. Admission to the 2005 Great Outdoor Games is $5 per person per day, with children 10 and under free. Re-entry is allowed each day.
