What was your best race result in 2015?
Kyle Evans: Not too sure really, we do that many races throughout the year I lose track. It was great to head out to Prague for a couple of C1 events, a place I have never raced or been to before and came away with a couple of 2nds behind LP so that race seem to be a good memory for this season.

Which race in 2015 turned out better than you could have hoped for?
Tory Nyhaug: Rockhill SX. I was feeling fast and really good on the track but I was struggling with the gate all night. I was inconsistent with the timing and just felt off. I kept things simple and did the best I could, I wasn't killing the first straight that night and I had to use all the tools and find different ways to make it work. I raced smart and I positioned myself well in all the laps and was very excited to finish off the SX year on the podium with a 2nd. That was huge for me after missing the first half of the year with injury.
What was your best race result in 2015?
Tory Nyhaug: Winning the gold medal at the Pan Am Games was
