It's pretty sad that a top 5 guy has to pay his own way. This sport has a long way to go.

Mike is on a mission to take down the factory riders. Get out there and show them how it's done Mikey!

Great film as always Simon, the shots over the fence and at the apex of that turn at the end....beautiful.

It would be great to see Mike get some success this season, the kid has literally worked his entire life for it.

I AM QUITE SURE in 1 of the shots it looked like he was actually getting loose on some whoops, would be good to see him bench that demon in time for SX.

Will this bring back the Alessi from pre-KTM? Hope so.

That track looks like good practice for the next USA/Mexico bordercross race.

How is it sad? Do you know all of the details? Do you know how much he was asking to be paid? Do you know any of his demands? No, none of us do. So to sit back and say the sport is in trouble because a particular rider is doing his own deal is foolish

Take it easy Captain - I think he was speaking in generalizations and I agree. A guy at Mike's level should be employed somewhere and making the appropriate money to compensate for his talent and drive.

Jumping in and out of that track looked awesome. I hope he kills it this year, I can't think of many guys who deserve it more than him.

Mike looked great, and is riding strong! Definate "dark horse" contender for the mil...I like the "over the fence" jumps!!! Maybe they could incorporate those into the MEC!

BTW, the bike stand is still orange, guess he has a lot of old crap that will have to be painted over, given away, etc.!!!

Very cool indeed...thanks Mr. Cudby. Mike confirmed my suspicion that this last season was more of a confidence/mental thing than anything else. I guess the reason I've always liked Mike (and Jeff) is that the perception they give off is that they don't just ride and race cause they happen to be good at it....they actually DIG the shit out of it. Wish him and his team good luck.

Awesome vid! I love the fence jump (new track idea for MX vs ATV?) Go get em Mikey! I haven't been a big fan but how can you not root for the guy. The guy is there to race and he's putting his money where his mouth is.

Simon........Thank you sir! Great video! Mike looks good on that bike ( best I have seen him since that first moto at Hangtown a couple years ago ) .

That Suzuki is going to do well for Mike , and being some what a privateer , I'll bet his performance and stats get closer to where he was at in 2008. I wish him , Jeff , Tony and the team all the luck I can give them. And since no factories are backing him , it makes him an underdog........I always root for the underdog.

Suzuki would be foolish not to be helping Mike out. In SX , Mike WILL get TV time , and I will guarantee that he will get A LOT of TV time at the nationals!

My guess is.....if Suzuki see's Mike get out of the SX series healthy.....they are going to help him quite a bit come Hangtown!

If they don't.......that is a dumb move!
