David Vuillemin Signs With Makita Suzuki. RC to Race Bercy
2007-07-13 16:27:00
Makita Suzuki announced yesterday that David Vuillemin will be riding their new EFI 450 for the 2008 and 2009 seasons. This will mark DV12's first factory ride since Yamaha back in 04. Ivan Tedesco, their current 450 Pilot has signed a factory deal with another team, that he has left nameless. But mostly everyone knows by know that Hot Sauce will be riding red by next supercross season. Suzuki has co-operated very will with Tedesco and agreed to let him off one month early so he could race the U.S. Open and begin testing. It will be good to see how the riders do on their new rides come supercross time. Hopefully David will start to do some training that doesn't involve eating cookies. I think with Roger DeCoster as his team manager, he will get back to his old self.More news from the folks at Suzuki, Ricky Carmichael has commited to racing the Bercy Supercross in November. RC raced the Bercy SX back in 1999 and a bike malfunction left him with a broken collarbone. Since then, The ...

MX vs. ATV Untamed Coming in January
2007-07-13 16:24:00
THQ showed off some news about the new MX racing game, set to hit next-gen consoles in January . MX vs. ATV Untamed is the sequel to MX vs. ATV Unleashed, which was an underdog to most in the gaming community, but turned out to be one of the best selling off-road racing games on the market. This time around, THQ looks to be going all out with Untamed, with new tracks, and modes like endurocross. Along with new racing features like scrubs and powerslides, and they also promised that the 2-stroke and 4-stroke bikes would perform differently. I know I'm excited to play this game, and hopefully it will be what we've all been waiting for.

No Fear Moto X America Tour Comes to Albany This Weekend!
2007-07-12 03:10:00
      This weekend, the No Fear Moto X America tour, comes to my home track in Albany Oregon! I’m really excited about it, and also really bummed that I wont be able to participate in it (because of my recent surgery). But the event should be off the hook. Robbie and Ryan Leach who run Albany MX, really put their heart and souls into their racetrack. So if you’re even remotely close to the Albany area, make sure you take the trip out and see some good racing. It will be a fun weekend for sure, with games and food and other entertainment, and some racing of course. All ages of riders can compete so if it’s your first time on a little fiddy, or you’re getting close to senior citizenship, sign up!

Lites isn't spelled right anyway
2007-07-06 20:41:00
The Lites class…. Ok before I even start, I hate that title. I think everybody in the biz hates it, except for maybe the guy who came up with it. So from now on I think I’ll refer to it as what it is, the 250 class. So the 250 class hasn’t been exactly what I had pictured before the season started. I think most people can agree with me there. I would have to say BT101 has been the biggest surprise thus far. For a kiwi, that guy hauls ass. Not to mention J-Law and RV. I would have expected way more battles between those 2. Not just because I like both riders, but because they were pretty evenly matched in Supercross, and Lawrence says he likes outdoors more, so I thought those 2 would scrape some plastic (well I guess they did, just not in the way I had imagined) Ryan Dungey definaintly deserves some kudos for the rides he’s been putting in this summer. I don’t know why I didn’t expect Ryan to do as good as he’s doing, considering he’s under the Suzuki tent with Roger...

101 vs 101
2007-07-06 03:30:00
The Ricky Vs. Everts era is over. Stefan isn’t doing the MXoN in September, and that will be Ricky’s last race. So you’re more likely to see James Stewart retire from motocross and pursue his dream of square dancing, than you are to see Ricky and Stefan race. What does this mean? Well it means a lot of things, but one thing it implies for sure is; the Internet will be going crazy, probably forever. Go to any youtube video, or moto forum and listen to the crazy moto junkie’s debate who’s better. From the sound of it, you would think that this question had never been answered before. But transworldmotocross posted some MXoN pictures from years back, and one photo stood out to me the most. Ricky has beaten Stefan heads up, a few times in the past. Here in ’03 he did it, and Stefan was present in France in ’05 when Ricky, K-Dub and a young Hot Sauce annihilated the rest of the field. I think there is no Comparison. Ricky Carmichael has won as many outdoor races, in le...

God Bless the USA

This weekend marks another birthday to the greatest country on earth! Its such a great feeling to live in a place where we have the freedom to do anything we wish, and say what we want, and not have to worry about nut jobs in turban's popping off AK-47 rounds if we dont applaud some terrorist dictator. I know plenty of you will all be out there riding, and racing, and just having a good time so just stay safe and dont do to much stupid shit. Remember that alcohol and motorcycles dont mix! this isn't some public service announcement, i just hate hearing about crazy redneck assholes who drink too much and end up hurting people because they flipped their quads or something. HAPPY 4th EVERYONE

STYLE MATTERS!
2007-07-03 00:05:00
I know when I go to the races; I want to look as fresh, and pretty looking, as humanly possible. The gear I wear can affect me more than anything, even the weather. I have to have all matching gloves, pants and jersey, with a clean pair of boots, some clear goggles, and a shiny bike. You have to look good, to feel good, to race good. It’s just common geology, or something like that. The pros have it all handed to them. New gear for each moto, guys who break their boots in for them, and their wrenches make sure their bikes look brand new before they start a race.For the average Joe rider, looking great can be more of a task, which is probably why the average rider takes such pride in his look. No matter how fast you are, you just look that much better if you have some clean gear, that just looks plain cool! Then add in a bike with some pretty noticeable bling, without a spec of dirt on it, and you are one good-looking motocross racer. Stunning good likes, like the ones I have, donâ...

Awesome pic from back in the day.
2007-07-02 23:42:00
This is a sick photo of Bubba airing out Larocco's Leap on his KX-125. Not many guys can say they've hucked the leap on a 125. Even guys today dont do it on their 250F's. This just goes to show how much talent Stewart had, and what a freak he was in his 125 days. But oddly enough, I remember 2 years ago when Bubba was still on a 250 2-stroke and he was one of the only 250 riders not jumping it. Even his teammate at the time, Michael Byrne, was jumping it on the exact same bike. Maybe Bubba's horoscope told him not to or something. Who knows.

Ricky Gets 100!
2007-07-02 23:11:00
Budds Creek is the sight for the 4th round of the AMA nationals on Sunday, and was a sort of preview of the upcoming Moto Des Nations. And to thicken the plot even more, Ricky Carmichael was chasing his 100th outdoor motocross victory! Jonathon Beasley had spent months preparing the Budds Creek race course, and even had an accident on his utility quad, and ended up with a broken hip. But come race day, the track looked great, and the fans were excited to see history. Who wouldn’t want to see the G.O.A.T. go for number 100?The Lites class saw Ryan Villopoto run away with motos, leading every single lap, and making the rest of the class look like amateurs. Ok maybe not amateurs but, Ryan was on a whole other level. Ben Townley went 2-2 and J-Law went 3-3. Pretty basic racing, although the second moto had a great battle between Jason Lawrence, Josh Grant, and the rook, Ryan Dungey. They were 3 wide in some corners, and must have swapped positions close to 20 times. It was a great bat...

Observations from Southwick  
2007-07-02 22:55:00
I don’t think a full on review of Soutwick is necessary. But there were a few things that I noticed over the weekend, as the boys of the AMA Motocross Nationals presented by FMF had their fun in the infamous sand of Southwick. First of all, RC had a tough weekend. With some over heating problems and a few stomach issues with his IBS. But he did put in some great rides and seal up the seemingly easy 1-1 victory. No surprise there. But I’m starting to think that Ricky may have bitten off more than he can chew. To be competitive at that level, you need to train, HARD. And Ricky is one of the hardest workingmen in all of sports, weather it be on a football field, a baseball diamond, a cross-country cycle, or a beautiful RMZ-450. The dude works. I think after 10 seasons, the rigorous schedule is starting to take its toll on the angry little elf. He can’t take it easy and lose, that’s just not an option for Ricky. If he is going to do the first 5 rounds like he said he was, he is ...
