STEVE MAGES
Grinding away – week after week – to most, this sounds draining, depressing, maybe even boring. But Steve Mages is living his dream. With help from Custom Powersports this year, he didn’t take a break when the Supercross West coast championship did, he just hopped on a different bike. Mages has made a return to
Arenacross racing after racing the 250 west coast championship. He hopped off his
west coast KTM bike and swung a leg over his Custom Powersports Kawasaki to get back in the mix at Arenacross. Mages is determined to make his mark in racing, and is living his dream – racing almost every weekend and enjoying both the Arenacross and Supercross styles of racing. Some may think he’s a little dash of crazy, but he really just has a lot of GRIT.
