    AMA SUPERCROSS

    I love me some supercross - big James Stewart fan (aside from the fact that he definitely should have stuck with Kawasaki his whole career), big Chad Reed hater. Reed takes out James Stewart ONCE AGAIN. Fuck that guy. I realize this one wasn't nearly as dirty or on purpose as his normal dirty racing, but damn.

    Grew up riding when Guy Cooper, Kawasaki's two Mikes, Jeremy McGrath, and the bad mother fucker below were ripping around the track. Honda and Yamaha fan but also rode a Suzuki. Got out when the four strokes came around again. I'm sure I'd hurt myself on one given the chance now.

    I can drag knees on the street, but put me on a 2 stroke 250, or 125 even, and my balls start to punch my stomach. I can rail a pumped out 50 turned into a 75/125 on a bmx track, but just can't touch these things. I think it all stems from my buddy at age 7 got his first CR80... he popped the clutch for the first time and looped it like he was trying to reverse the earth's rotation.

    Did a maggot write that Yamaha advert?

    watching Bubba plow through whoops never gets old. Neither does watching him scrub a jump and gain 2 bikes lengths in mid air.

    Ridiculous. Fastest person on two wheels on the dirt. It's too bad he's been injured and scared into toning it down. There just is nothing like seeing him go all out.

    I agree reed is/was a bad ass, but he should retire. Finishing where he does cannot be fun. Road racing not the same without Nicky.

    Bump for the new season. I'm an hour behind watching via DVR. Just finished the heat races.

    250s - Craig, Forkner, Lawrence and Hampshire should be the top guys. Shimano looked fast in the heat race.

    450s are stacked. Tomac with his usual shitty start. Webb looks hungry.

    Barcia with another great first race of the season. New bike, new factory (gasgas), 3rd season opener that he wins.

    Roczen looked good as usual, didn't fad like the end of races last season.

    Tomac with another shitty start and then bad mistakes. He was a second from being lapped at the finish of the race.

    Just finished the DVR of the Tuesday night race. This season should be a great one to watch. The top 10-12 in the 450 class are all evenly matched. I predict that if someone can be 3rd or 4th much of the time that they will win the championship.

    I can ride hard enduro with anybody, but these steep SX jumps are no joke. These men are superheroes.

    2024 starts now. Qualifications this afternoon, and I watched 14 names that could win a race. They are probably all racing Jett for the overall. He was smoking fast at qualifying.

    Live on Peacock, and I think USA now.

    Watching. Extremely exciting and makes me want a moto. I think that's the point. Good marketing.

    We've yet to meet in person, but from what I see online, you'd really enjoy seeing this in person. Pencil in Seattle.... it is a blast.

    Where are my moto buddies this year?

    Good Dakar (but over early). I love the camera work on that event.

    Round 2 tonight, seems like a competitive year.

    Great racing in the 450 main tonight, Eli was on it. That pass into the lead with Jett right there was a thing of beauty.

    What a race! Tomac was on fire. Might have to re watch that race tonight. Been looking forward for years to watching Tomac and Jett get after it. It would be sick to see this level of competition continue throughout the series and spill over into outdoors. Roczen, Anderson, and Webb are right there. After a couple of fairly boring seasons racing wise, 450 class is stacked this year. Awesome to have a weekly top 5 of championship contenders.

    250 class was interesting. I saw a photo of Jo's pinky that was gnarly. Lucky he didn't lose his pinky! Keeping an eye on Cole Davis for sure. JuJu rode well but hope to see some consistency from him this year. Haiden needs to get it together. Love seeing Ty Masterpool show good speed but that MF can't stay off the ground.

    Stoked for A2!
