Monster Energy Supercross presents 17 races in 18 weekends, making the Easter Holiday a big one for the racers -- it's the only off-weekend of the SX season! We ran through our contacts and texted a whole bunch of riders to see what they did with their time off. As you'll can see, even the West Lites boys (who have already been off for a few weeks) got to enjoy some good times with family and friends. And for the 450 boys who haven't missed a weekend yet, well, the time must have felt good. Check out the answers below.
Kyle Cunningham
For Easter I stayed home after Houston and spent some time with my family at my nana's house.
Jason Anderson
I went to the beach and hit some dirt jumps with my trainer Randy [Lawrence].
Blake Wharton:
For Easter Weekend I spent time in Texas with the family and friends.
Phil Nicoletti:
For the Easter weekend I went and spent the Saturday at Steel City for a local race. The Eleven 10 Mods boys and I decided the best way to get back to motocross is to go race a motocross track and see where we are at! I went 1-1 in 250A and 3-1 in 450A. Steel City's uphill start doesn't suit a 250F in the 450 class, haha.

Easter was really good to be able to spend some time with the family. I don’t get to see all of them that much from traveling and riding, so I really enjoyed it.
Jimmy Albertson
On the weekend I just got in some well needed supercross laps. It was good to have a week of hard practice and not have to rest for a race on the weekend.
Blake Baggett
Easter weekend, I’ve been building a jet ski trailer, so I did some welding and grinding on that. That’s about all I did, I’m trying to finish that up before the hot days come this summer!
Kyle Peters
For Easter weekend my family came out to Cali for my birthday. We went to the beach and hung out.

This weekend I went riding and spent time with family. Saturday Erin and I went out to Elsinore and met Matt Moss, his girlfriend and some friends who are out from Australia, and brought a BBQ, and spent the day riding.

It was my girlfriend’s spring break so she flew out and hung out with me and my family. On Saturday we headed up to Durango, Colorado and did some biking around the town and just had a fun day. On Easter Sunday me and a bunch of friends went and filmed some awesome free riding, we ended up finding a couple jumps and I found a big hit -- it was probably between 75 and 85 feet.

Easter weekend went out to dinner with my girlfriend and family on Saturday night. Then Easter Sunday had a big crawfish boil at my house with the whole family. Was super delicious and fun.
