Had the luxury of attending Seattle this weekend, thanks to my buddy for hooking me up with a ticket and letting me stay in his trailer.

First and foremost was the weather. Not only was it sunny, but it was warm. I've been to Seattle a handful of times and never have I experienced both.

There was a Mariners game right next door at Safeco field, and on the way to the pits there was a healthy mix of SX and baseball fans walking the streets, and I must say that not only were the baseball chicks a whole helluva lot hotter, but the baseball fans in general just look more like regular upstanding citizens. The SX crew was a bunch of black hat, tatted up dipshit squads. See thread titled "Seattle SX Fight, Bro." It was crazy that the 21st perfect game in MLB history was thrown right next to us in that baseball park.

The track was pretty damn good, better than years past. Made for good racing. I haven't watched the SPEED broadcast yet, but did anyone else see Roczen's line over the dragonback, and his near miss during the main? He definitely didn't triple out of it after that almost-crash that could have easily put him on the sidelines for a very long time. Wilson and Tomac's battle was definitely the highlight of the racing that evening, but Shorty and Roczen's race was very entertaining as well.

Best part of the weekend: The weather and the racing.

Worst part of the weekend: Supercross fans. I'm going to go on a little rant here, so ye be forewarned. As the night show was kicking off, I had very mixed emotions. I was excited to be there and see the racing and enjoy supercross in person, but I was also very agitated by what a giant group of idiots had packed the stadium. So many d-bags with Fox and Monster shirts and their bitchin sunglasses and their sick backwards Rockstar hats. No shortage of really ugly girls in some type of trashy clothes with a shit ton of makeup on. Some of you may say "why are you so worried about the people at a race? Just enjoy it." I did enjoy it, but it's not abnormal to observe the crowd, and this crowd on this date was a gathering of retards. It makes me embarrassed to be associated with these tools. It makes me embarrassed for the sport, to be honest.

Anyway, rant over, hope anyone else who was in attendance had a good time like I did, minus the pathetic fans.

You are on the verge of getting a lot "hate" from VitalMX crew.

However, I AGREE WITH YOU. Nothing worse than drunk and energy drink high people in a SX stadium. There is always fights.... hard to bring youngsters around the garbage.

I think the current Ms Supercross e' donna molta bella e brava.

Do not watch it on TV.... can careless about the playoffs. Will go see it in person. Saw the Yankees play twice while I lived in NY and it was a treat.

Do not get me started on the quality of women who attend Tennis matches..... they are amazing.

Bitching about ugly women is rather superficial of you, but I agree at the couple SX races I've been to the fans have left a bit to be desired. I saw a bunch of amp'd up douchebags trying to fight at Toronto last year, too.

been to a lot of college football games in the same stadium that i go to the supercross races and wow.... talk about night and day difference between the crowds.

i know i know, stick and ball sports blah blah, but seriously, the difference is unfuckinreal.

and you're dead on with the "trashy chicks" at a supercross versus the "hotter" chicks at the baseball game.

Supercross is a spectator event, and the females are subject as well haha

You are experiencing the perspective that comes with maturity Justin.

BTW when you get a second let me know what that feels like.......I've always wondered. Smile

Hrmm, Vegas usually isnt too bad. Maybe just because it ends up being such an expensive deal that the douchebags end up staying away? Theres douchebags there, but I think they save the stupidity for the strip.

It might have been because this was the first race I brought my three yet old son to and my guard was up, but the drunkenness displayed by those in attendance was ridiculous. I go to 20 or so Seahawks/Mariners games a year and don't see anything like that. I'm bigger than most of the wannabe tough guys, but walked my wife to her car before the heats so she didn't walk through the idiots by herself.

The west coast races have waaaaaaay more douchebags than the rounds back east, it seems.

Okay, yeah, but if they are douchebags, they'd be that if they were wearing suits.

True, they're just easily identifiable this way.

Ya buddy, Go Dawgs. Anyhoo, I couldnt agree more with your comments JW. The tool bags run rampant at SX. The low point of the night for me was watching a guy two rows behind me smoking cigs and weed with his 3-4 year old on his lap. I mean seriously you freakin morons come on!!!!!

This has to be the funniest race report I've ever read!

Mike, not always true, when I wear one of my suits, I look like a distinguished douche bag!

The trick to SX is to buy tickets in the high rent district. Dramatically different then the 3rd tier cheap seats.
