I kinda remember this 'review' from last year, also.
Anyways, thanks for the review!
I'd be pumped to be able to go to the races most weekends and write about it, know anyone hiring?
While I'm here, I'll add a couple of more.
The tracks - mentioned above, a bit longer on the lap times, but what I've enjoyed is just the variety. There may be a lot I don't agree with, but every weekend has had a very unique challenge for the riders to tackle.
Rain Cover - Yes, no real full on mudders so far, San Diego gave its best effort but failed. Props to the crew on figuring out how to keep these things dry!
The Shop
Ryan Dungey - guy has been on fire
James Stewart's race with a broken hand was rather incredible looking back at it!
Ryan VIllaptoto's aggressive style
The incredible battles in the lights class
Probably my favorite thing has been watching Kevin Windham and Chris Pourcell ride, especially Pourcell. The guy is sooooooo smooth
Also, the Oklahoman Trey Canard kicking rear!
give a report on Phoenix then, or do you even remember it?
by the way 448, sweet suite!

It's nice to see a post that is positive and is from someone who clearly understands the the sport.
It's all good, jmar!
Just wish we could see more.
This crop of rookies (Barcia, Baggett, Wilson, etc) is probably the best in the last decade.
Seeing hotsauce riding near the front after almost having to ride out of his pickup truck is awesome.

hope you had a great night mike. wish i were there but i need a little more time to heal....
I agree that sand in the turns looks cool and as a rider sometimes its fun BUT racing it never ends up so fun nor does it create passing.....sand before whoops defeats the purpose of whoops IMO because the plain old nature of sand is that the inside is always the fastest. You have to remember that the sand they use is typically what i would call beach sand thats really soft so once everyone goes to the inside thats the dominant line. just my 2 cents
hope you didnt get to wet up there i hear it rained all day

not sure about you guys but that race was frustrating to watch! as a fellow promoter i understand the challenge of finding that fine line of a safe track but one that also challenges the riders
its not like its rocket science to figure out that sand creates one line! i sure wish they would figure that out! sand rules i love it! but if you "have" to have it in SX than make a crazy straight away.....replace the whoops with a fun sand section or something its not like there big challenging whoops anyway
that track was an average "race track" at best!
yes yes i know iv been home to long
after watching tonights race my goal is to try work with feld motorsports and have them work on a safe system that would stop the bikes/riders potentially flying into the stands off of the berms
that way we could have the berms back and IMO the riders would have more chances to make passes......which is what we ALL want to see
ok im tired
Two things though.. Canard is in the hunt for the 250 west lites.. so he is having a great season all around so far!
I would also add Josh Hill to your report for coming out and stringing together four 2nd place finishes, and continuing to ride with broken bones and a battered body.
Yes, I'm Chris; the one sitting in the stands while JR was doing half nacs and butt whips haha.
Good call on the Josh Hill mention. It has to be extremely challenging for him to go out there every weekend hurt, knowing he's not going to be where he is capable of at the end of the race.
And even better call about having Langston back. No matter where he is in the results, it's great seeing him back!
Canard, KW, Wilson, Dungey and RV... Nice job, I think you nailed it. I'm enjoying this SX season like no other.
