Cobra & Tomahawk MX Park Give Away a Cobra to Fight the Lead Law

June 6, 2011, 4:25pm

Mariyah Scott and her family attended the Family Capitol Hill Climb because they wanted to help fight the Lead Law created by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008 that threatens to end the sale of youth size dirt bikes. The Scott Family traveled from Hagerstown, MD to Washington, DC on May 26th to join over 200 supporters of H.R. 412, the Kids Just Want To Ride Act, that would exclude dirt bikes from the CPSIA of 2008. Mariyah went home with a personal experience of how she can actively take part in government and a brand new 2011 Cobra CX50 thanks to Cobra Motorcycles and Tomahawk MX Park in Hedgesville, WV.

Tomahawk MX created a partnership with Cobra motorcycle’s CEO Sean Hilbert to award one young rider that attends the rally a new motorcycle. Tomahawk MX event coordinator Tyler Newcomer commented on the bike giveaway, “We wanted to reward those families that made the commitment to traveling to Washington, DC for such a worthy cause. These families had to take time off work and spend their own money traveling all for the love of riding. Every child under the age of 12 that attended had a chance to win.”

After Sean Hilbert drew the winning ticket at Tomahawk’s Kids’ Night the day of the event, track owner Chad Gochenour commented on Mariyah winning the giveaway, “What a great story. The Scott family is what this give away was all about. They ride and race on a budget. Hopefully, this bike will help make it a little easier for Mariyah this summer.”

Mariyah was notified at her home on May 27^th. Even though she was speechless, her face could tell a thousand words. Newcomer added, “My family and I will remember the experience of traveling to the Hill Climb for a lifetime. Seeing Mariyah’s face and her family’s excitement was the perfect ending to an incredible experience for all of us. It was truly priceless.”
