Ric Richardson

Got to check this place out... (costaricaunbound.com) clipped from www.yamaha-motor.com Yamaha joined forces with Costa Rica Unbound (costaricaunbound.com) to gain a unique look at what Costa Rica has to offer.  Journalists literally walked off the plane and onto the 2007 WRs and headed across the country to the Pacific Ocean.  The guides moved the editors across rivers, over mountains, down long stretches of beach, and through tight jungle trails en route to the Pacific.  Stopping at local food stands and past the waving hands of many of the locals, the journey was astounding and the views unmatched.  The first night concluded with a WR Technical Presentation and a ringing endorsement of the WR and the riding areas from 7x National Motocross Champion Ricky Johnson.
