Now I understand just were all the blisters are coming from.:lol8:
Always fun to watch but superX is wound up very tight in deed.

There is one thing that always comes back home and that is the fact that those riders that seem to remain humble always come out on top.
And those that go around buying jets and Italian sport cars seem to loose it.......

[accadacca]

I see what your saying. Consistency and minimal mistakes wins the championship. If James keeps his wheels down he'll be hard to beat. He is by far the fastest, but can he maintain the speed this year without mistakes? :popcorn:

[Mtnseeker1]

That would be my bet. To short a window and after all he is the fastest man on earth.
This will be the deciding year for sure.

[Mtnseeker1]

Life is funny,
Sometimes your either a hero or a zero.
Sometimes you just gotta put it all out on the line to be a champion and sometimes it comes back to bite you on the ous.

Either way one thing is for sure and certain. It will be a year to remmember.

Thanks acca! I'll be adding that web site to my favs.

"For Those About To Rock! We Salute YOU!" :cool2:

[Garbanzo]

Congrats to the KTM team! It was fun to watch history being made. Now, if we can get James to quit falling. Funny, I think that's what the guys say about me everytime we ride.:lol8:

[accadacca]

Team Orange! :2thumbs:

Btw...the next 3 races are on CBS.

[Mtnseeker1]

I think James needs to take a day off and go fishing or something to get his head back in the game.:lol8:

[accadacca]

Who is going to get it this week?

Oakland, CA
50919

[live2ride]

Bubba is going to make it work this weekend. Cant wait

[nelsonccc]

Bubba is going to make it work this weekend. Cant wait

I hope not. I can't stand that guy. 22 for the win!

[Garbanzo]

I hope not. I can't stand that guy. 22 for the win!

Chad is bad, but he's going down. I like Stewart and Dungey, but I am afraid it is Villapoto's to lose. If he stay's upright and healthy, no one can hang with him.

[REDFOX]

Go Chad !

[accadacca]

Go Chad !
He got passed by Stewart this week. :stud:

[Mtnseeker1]

As much as I want to see Chad pull it off ( the old boy on the circuit ) my money is on Dungey.
Smooth is fast and fast is smooth brothers.
But let's face it is going to be one of the four.

Stewart's GoPro footage. :cool2:

[Mtnseeker1]

And the points are?:lol8:
This is going to be a great year to watch if it keeps up like this.

Just goes to show you never know!

[live2ride]

Looks like my pick for bubba was a good one for this past week! Can't wait for this weekend

[Mtnseeker1]

Why is this shit not on week days? I mean WTF all dirt riders are out on the weekends:lol8::lol8::lol8::lol8::lol8::lol8::lol8:

Just what The Fools day are they thinking.

Ok so I got back very late saturday. VERY LATE and a half doz. bars on the way. JK sort of..
Needless to say I was out of the area a wee bit.

[accadacca]

Villopoto takes his third straight 1st place.

Reed crashes really bad (endo and over the bars) and had to get helped off the track...

[Mtnseeker1]

The number 1 plate holds with 10 points.
And yes KTM is in the game.
Dirty Stewart who? hehe

[accadacca]

I thought it was quite fitting that KTM won the same day that I picked up my Husa! :haha:

[double moo]

The number 1 plate holds with 10 points.

Dirty Stewart who? hehe

Malcom Stewart biffs it hard in the Lights heat. Manages to get second chance then doesn't get to the line in time for the LCQ... throws shit fit on the sidelines, throws goggles then helmet. Learn to show a little class, you're a professional athlete.

[Mtnseeker1]

Yep crazy stuff out there.

I said it early and I'll say it again MY money is on Dungy.
Any takers?

Hurry the odds are getting better for me by the minute.

[Mtnseeker1]

It's to bad about Reed.
I heard he was going to retire after this year.
Wonder how that will work out now?

[live2ride]

I have been following him on twitter, who knows if he will come back? I just hope poto stumbles a bit so we can have a couple of people in the chase.

[Mtnseeker1]

Dungy is right there and if Stewart can get his daddy to stay home he can make the comeback.:lol8:

[fourtycal]

Joe Gibbs Yamaha's first and second with Stewart and Millsaps :2thumbs:

[Garbanzo]

Bummer to hear about Dungey. Can't believe he stood the podium last week with a broken collar bone. Stud.

[accadacca]

That was one helluva mud bog! :ride:

[Mtnseeker1]

Ya man - Looked like a big ol bowl of yarn but shiny.:lol8:
Stewart may just put this together after all. well maybe.
If he can just ride against the other riders and not the clock.

[REDFOX]

That was one helluva mud bog! :ride:

Seemed like they were still fast on those slippery conditions.

[RedSpecialized]

Another great weekend of riding. Lots of crashes, they even did a stagered restart, which i'd never seen before. They even had to pick up stewart and haul him off in a cart after he went down and got ran over, I hope he's ok.
It was a cool day of riding, lots of lead changes and crashes, what more could you ask for....?

[Mtnseeker1]

I't was one for the books for the crazy staggered start and all. I like the idea myself.--good rule--

[accadacca]

Yep, that staggered start worked pretty good. Bummer about Stewart...

[live2ride]

I was so happy to see the staggered sort i thought barcia hit the jackpot with the red flag. Crazy

[double moo]

Wild night for Barscha on the lites! Mid air collision and our in the heat, had to race the LCQ, smoke the field for the win! Kid is awesome... 5 out of six wins this year.

[accadacca]

Barcia will be riding with the 450's next year. :stud: We'll see how good he is then...

[Mtnseeker1]

The way he whips his lights bike I think he'll do just fine after the bump and rub initiation.:lol8:

[Mtnseeker1]

RV will he make the nationals?

[Mtnseeker1]

Guess I best be for packing my rain suit and heading north:2thumbs: And thanking those that can help a bro out for a little storage on the old bike seen.
Vegas is best seen on TV I think.

[fourtycal]

I can hardly wait for Saturday, my first time watching it live :2thumbs:

[nelsonccc]

I can hardly wait for Saturday, my first time watching it live :2thumbs:

Watching it live is awesome. Watching them fly through the air likes its nothing is pretty impressive. There's a lot of drama going on too as you see them get close to each other on the track.

[Garbanzo]

I can hardly wait for Saturday, my first time watching it live :2thumbs:

Me too. Hope to see you there!

[live2ride]

Man I am bummed out all the big dogs are gone, Eli may make some fireworks in the lites but man it's sure lacking everyone this year.

[REDFOX]

Usually i am excited for the supercross, this year with the top guys being out and the champion has already been determined because of points, I wonder how aggressive the riders will be in this race. Never the less having already bought tickets months ago, I will be there to see it. I will be coming back straight from Moab and be dropped off at the event.

[Mtnseeker1]

I'm not sure if this is the weekend that east meets west in the lights it may very well be lost wages next weekend. Has anybody got any info on this one?
I'm hoping it is SLC.

[live2ride]

Well today I scored some front row tickets so I am all in. Excited to see Eli tomac battle it out.

[Mtnseeker1]

Cool the next thing is is one for me?:lol8:
Keep me in mind if all else fails. DOG:mrgreen:
I'll be there even if it's the last min. nose bleeders tickets.LOL

[accadacca]

Our good buddy Chet texted these to a fex of us during the day on Saturday. He was working the sidelines of the race and does every year.

[Mtnseeker1]

It always amazes me just how easy these guys make this look.
It was a rutted mean ass track and they just pin it hard.

[fire1]

Most of the time the speed of bike depends on the wheels, If the diameter of wheels are fix and fit to the bike then it can give more speed to your bike.

[Mtnseeker1]

Next time I ride with one of these guys I'll besure to ask them .
Myself I like big fat rear tires in the loose stuff but the then little pizza cutters in the very hard pack but I'm just a rookie and have no idea to tell you the truth.
God bless the American west.
