Very cool. If anyone finds a slideshow of the X-Games flat track bikes, please post a link here.

To bad it's going to be a harley exhibition only. They won't let the boy's bust out the 450's and put on a real show.

True, all the old harley riders are getting older so they are targeting the younger crowd. I also heard they will be unveiling a new 750 or something along those lines. Kawi is kicking their ass and they need to keep up.

So how exactly was the shark jumped? Of course I'm a bit biased towards dirt track, but I absolutely love all forms of motorcycle racing. Unfortunately it seems the same can't be said about a lot of motocross fans, bummer.

There is also a new FMX deal and the is called Moto X Quarter Pipe.

Also truck racing, like the badass offroad trucks, but they race on pavement and have ramps for jumps, if you havent seen that shit yet, its pretty damn wild! Rusty Wallace entered and will become the oldest XGames competitor ever.

There was a show on last weekend "The World of XGames" or something like that and it highlighted all the new events this year.

Here is a schedule of events:

Her name is Nicole (cheza) Mees. She is married to Jared Mees....current champ.

Comes from a great racing background and hauls pretty good.

Watch for her husband and Bryan Smith out front.

The MX starting gate may be the start of something cool in the dirt track world.

If you haven't seen a flat track race live it is worth attending .....damn cool. If you like motorcycle racing that is..

Looks like Harley is just the title sponsor of the race. Texter just crashed his Kawi and I think they said someone was on a Triumph.

Anybody else notice how in that story she said that if it wasn't a Harley it was nothing but in the video right after she said that she was riding a Honda and then was later in a garage full of Hondas?

Man we are such an inbred group it is pitiful. Flat track is bad ass and the average mx rider wouldn't be able to hang.
