Fox Racing Canada Presents Behind The Lens- Ten Photos From 2023 Calgary National

Last year, the Triple Crown Series returned to Wild Rose MX Park for the first time since before the Pandemic. As everyone knows, this iconic track is situated atop a hill just minutes from downtown Calgary, so the views are spectacular. Over the years, some of James Lissimore’s best photos have come from capturing riders launching into the air with the landscape of downtown in the background. With the opening round of the 2024 Triple Crown Series just days away, we look back to ten great photos from last year at the Calgary National.
