Glen Helen here we come!
Although it’s been a great supercross season, we are at the eve of the 2008 Motocross Nationals, and I couldn’t be more excited. Sure supercross is enjoyable to watch, but it’s just not the nationals. I prefer the Nationals 2 to 1 over Supercross any day of the week. Their is just something special about 30 minutes + 2 laps x 2 that is just awesome. [Read more →]
Wow is all I can say. I’m not sure how many of us out here in Internet-dom have seen or even follow the Supercross series. I’m not even sure how many of you actually get the SPEED channel (I don’t–but then again, I don’t have cable/satellite either 
). There have been a handful of the Supercross events on CBS as well, but not nearly enough to get the complete picture of how great a season this has been.
We have had a lot of Supercross season’s over the last few years that were dominated by the GOAT (Ricky Carmichael), and then came #7, a.k.a. James Stewart who has done the same thing. Which for the fan really makes for some boring races. No one really enjoys watching everyone else race for 2nd place. I know I don’t. Although watching the two best riders to ever to put a leg over a motorcycle, is certainly awesome, but watching action packed racing is a lot more enjoyable. [Read more →]
I just finished watching the 2008 Atlanta Supercross, Supercross Class race, and wow, what a barn burner. I have been a Honda fan since I bought my first real MX bike in 2002 (2003 CRF450R), so I’ve always been a fan of anyone on a Honda when it comes to racing.
Well the Atlanta race was spectacular if you are a Honda fan, because Honda took 1, 2, & 3 for a RED sweep of the podium. [Read more →]
If you’ve been into motocross as all for even any length of time, you more than likely are aware of the different bar sizes and bends that are available. There are also a bunch of different brands to choose from. Up to this point my favorite has been the original Pro-Taper 1 1/8″ (28mm) bars made by Easton (I believe these are now known as the Pro-Taper EVO — Though there is no mention of Easton on them like there used to be). Anyway, I had the original Pro-Tapers on my bike for 5 years, which included many get offs, and tons of ride time, and I never once bent them. They were and still are (I know the owner of my bike now) running strong and have yet to show any signs of weakness. [Read more →]
I am truly a fan of older supercross racing, and I spend probably way too much time looking for old races to watch. I’m not even sure how I found this one? You are about to watch the 1997 Las Vegas 125cc Supercross, East vs West shootout. [Read more →]
With James Stewart out for the season (injured left knee), and a 19 point lead over 2nd place Kevin Windham, is the 2008 Supercross Championship Chad Reed’s to lose? [Read more →]
After watching Anaheim I Supercross, I just wanted to put down my thoughts.
How about the Lites class! Man what a barn burner. Great racing.
