Can anyone stop Team Babbitt's Tyler Bowers this season? I think Mike Muye will be great for the series and the new schedule will give us some racing before Supercross!

I would love to see Demuth return also! At the end of August, only Bowers and Chad Johnson were doing a little testing in Texas. Team Faith to KTM hmm best of luck to KJ and Kelly! Have you heard of any new Teams? Also do you think any of the Supercross mid and back of the pack guys will show up to any early rounds?

Team Faith on KTM.
Blair's team on KTM.
Demuth, Siebler, Gibson on TUF Honda
Babbitts will be very srong, but keep in mind it's 250f's again this year. (may hurt Bowers a bit)
3 or 4 rounds before January like it used to be (thank god) and ends earlier so these guys can go SX afterwards.
Gibson looked awesome at Lake County in July and has been racing small ax stuff ALL summer!
Wouldn't look for many sx regulars to attend, they never do.
Looking forward to Des Moines in a little over a month..

What up double-D?

Was real real good to see JD at a semi-big money race in Wichita this last weekend. Hadn't seen Josh or his dad for quite a while. Demuth killed the locals (and some not so locals) in 450 pro (on a Suzook) and in the 250 pro (on his trusty Shogun-equipped YZ250) and also won the dash for cash and the vet pro...

JD said he was gearing up for AX, and was feeling pretty healthy.

So Demuth is in for sure?!?!?! He shows up to some hare scrambles in a series I race with (not in his class though). That dude is one tough cookie. Hit a tree pinned in third and rode 20 or 30 more minutes without one of his levers and with a broken rib or two before deciding enough was enough. He doesn't even do a site or practice lap. Just shows up and runs the course. I'm sure he isn't the only one to do this but he's the only one I've seen so I'm a fan of his.

bower will be fine, just gear it up and good to go, its not like AX has hills or deep loam, also remeber back a few years ago he did US open on a lites bike and did just fine. also there is the spinechiller teams with skaggs who won some mains in 2009 when it was lites bikes, willy b is pretty much made for 250fs. there is also the team im riding for which is Reed and Reed Racing and as always ill be back by mandingo pickles..450s in AX sucked and i think having 250s back will give ax a little more umph to the racing

There are multiple reasons to use only 250f's

1) They want AX to be a stepping stone to supercross. It seems kind of silly to have to ride a 450 in AX to get enough points to ride a 250 in lites supercross.

2) New riders can now ride both the lites and premier classes on the same bike until they are in the top 12 in points. This gives these new riders more track time to improve their skills and gain experience.

3) The racing is better on a 250f. I don't know how many of you have ridden a AX, but its not much fun on a 450. Basically you just try and not make a mistake rather than actually race.

4) It is more fun for the teams. Now we can actually build a bike to go fast, rather than try to slow them down.
