Transworld mx has been posting a youtube video of the day to start off the new year. First, brilliant idea, however I do think they will run out fairly quick of pure moto if they do it every day all year!But watching the last video posted, I realized just what our sport needs today. Watch even just a minute, and you will realize how awesome on the floor camera angles truly are. Back then, the

[Editor's Note: This began this before rumors surfaced of the true 250 class, as seen on this blog here. But even so, everything stated still applies, though hope is on the horizon!]Motocross is in trouble. In fact, It's in big trouble.Our favorite sport has seen a sharp decline in sales, participation, and expansion over the past few years, but especially this year with the current economy."An

Transworld Motocross is reportedly stating they have heard rumors the 250 class for the outdoors will indeed be a 250 class. That means anything you want to run, up to 250cc's.Click here to read what they said.HOW FRIGGIN AWESOME I AM SO EXCITED THAT I HAVE TO TYPE IN CAPS!!The privateer now has a legitimate shot a fielding a competitive bike!

Before reading, check out the new poll to the right.Brand Loyalty is something I will never understand.In fact, I find it silly to think one brand consistently better than others, with the evolution between major changes that each bike receives (think minor changes each year before one major change - it's cyclical), every bike has a good chance of being the top of the heap each year, as bikes

America is all about the greenbacks. In fact, many countries we currently but heads with hate us for this very reason. When is the line crossed between greed, and good morals?Supercross - and motocross at some point - do one thing for a very few amount of people. Make a lot of money. Just think how much gross money is raked in at one supercross.Ill think for you.50,000 tickets, average 50 a

Ever stare at your ceiling listlessly at night? You tell yourself, I wanna sleep, I should sleep, heck I'm tired I need sleep to no avail over and over. Something is keeping you awake, but tonight is no isolated incident. The night before was the same, and the night before that followed a week of listless staring.Clearly, something is on the mind. But what? Your not thinking about anything

Motocross is amazing. In fact, to compare its roots to where we have come and where we might go, you wouldn't even think it the same sport. We have come from bikes that were nothing more than a street motorcycle missing a few odds and ends, maybe sporting a knobby tire, and riders wearing gear resembling the leathers used by their road race counterparts to the colorful, terrain specific

This years outdoor season has been interesting, but not exciting. I love racing, and follow it intensely, however, one person winning week in and week out is anything but nerve racking.In fact, this blog exists only because of how exciting the 2008 Supercross season was. But a press release with the title of "Another win, again," is not interesting.How does, "A king, dethroned" sound?Now that

Growth: give something some time, a little investment, a lot of attention, and it happens naturally.The sport of motocross is growing in the professional ranks. For years the sport relied heavily on the "big four" factory teams pitting out of one semi for its infusion of wealth, followed by very few satellite teams out of service trucks, those in turn followed by the mire of panel vans and pick

Merge Racing Technologies first made ripples in the racing community with its release of their adjustable leak jet. While the product hasn't revolutionized motorcycles, it has greatly improved in an area lacking with the modern surge in four stroke motorcycle sales. The dreaded “bog”. The ripples slowly built into waves, as many of the top 20 riders in the country started using the product

In its second running, the Freestone national yet again provided Texas natives a wonderful opportunity to watch, in the flesh, some of the fastest motocross riders do battle for a total of 60 minutes and four laps in each division. That is a total of 120 minutes, plus 8 laps of action, not even counting morning practice or the WMA race! So strap on your reading glasses, and start scanning from

Motocross. The sport of men: only the toughest and roughest. The bigger the balls, the faster the rider.But that isn't remotely true on so many levels. Sure it takes a man to line up and do two thirty five minute motos in the 100 degree heat, but thousands of racers of all types do it every year, week in and week out. Can you call the amateur riders at Loretta's "men"? How about the women

Go Green - Part INick Wey - After watching a dismal showing by him at Dallas, (he didn't even qualify and had to use a provisional) I figured I'd discuss what I saw.First: he showed ZERO aggression. In the main, only two laps in, he was looking over his shoulder behind him coming into a corner. He was practically in last at that point. It almost looked like he was getting ready to move over for

In light of this fact, here is something pertaining to the outdoor season.Imagine this: Your in amazing shape, and at the age of 30, you have a program that has evolved over the years to meet your needs as a rider and boost

Mark these words.The cost of racing will drive out the people that make our sport so good.Just look at nascar. How in the heck would you ever go pro in that? Buy your own car like Ricky's? No. Try dirt track? No. Car racing has almost become reserved for the rich of wallet, not the most talented. Hell, I would LOVE to race cars, or shifter carts, or some sort of 4 wheeled vehicle, but I

WOW!The season that can't be predicted was to,sum up,-----unpredictable. With the tango for two set up coming into the weekend, the pressure was on two of the young guns in our sport.----Ryan Villopoto----At times, he has been the most dominating "lites" rider we have ever seen. He has blazing speed, he is an animal on the bike where others are mere humans, and he has an air of confidence around

The lites class in Detroit looked like any other this year, with Villapoto laying down the fastest lap in practice, followed by Grant and then Canard. With Canard showing a strong performance in Dallas despite a first turn wreck, and the uncharacteristic reliability of the Honda's this year (the same can be said about all the bikes for that matter), everyone assumed that Ryan had no shot at the

Speedy Reedy may have just hurt his championship cause this weekend. Let me correct that: Chad Reed significantly hurt his championship cause this weekend.After being heralded as the most consistent rider on the track, and proving season in a season out that he just plain gets good results, he decided to change that notion mighty quickly in the day practice. Apparently he sampled the Detroit

The pure excitement of a photo finish. Nothing quite gets your blood bubbling like that of a race that comes down to the wire.Quite honestly, after attending the NHRA drag nationals in Houston, TX this past weekend, a few thoughts flew out, around, up, under, and ultimately in to my head. But first, let me just say that if you enjoy racing, you HAVE to go to at least one drag race national in

4:59 A.M.You snap awake, turning off your alarm clock one minute before it's set to ring. You quietly set your feet on the ground, ease onto your feet, and turn on your bedside lamp. You throw on your favorite shorts, slap on a t-shirt, grab some socks and head towards the garage. It's 5 in the morning, and your going RACING BABY! But not before you load your bike. You open your garage door
