22ROUND TWO: The Pro Watercross US National Tour had its second round of racing in Pensacola Beach, FL this weekend.

Racers like Monster Energy/Bullett Racing rider Chris Macclugage, Kommander Industries/Rockstar Energy rider Dustin Motzouris, Team Faith’s Kelly Smith and Monster Energy/Kawasaki rider  Eric Francis made light of the situation with impressive skill in these conditions.
