The Official MXDN Pre-Party Countdown Thread

Yehhaaa, I'm having goose bumps just thinking about next weeekend!! My first MXDN to attend!! Cant' wait! Keep on posting those great pics!

The " Only " downfall to the entire MXoN's race.....is the odds it puts us against our fellow brethren from across the pond. I hate arguing with those guys and it seems like there are always a few knuckleheads on BOTH sides of the pond which damn near starts WW3 on here. I know most of it is all in good fun......but it gets pretty brutal in here. So to all my brothers from across the pond.....I again call a truce a few days after the race!


Look at the size of that crowd!!

I figured that.

I'm sure some folks want to know a head of time in regards to the times,like that one dude that asked.
So that they can plan their weekend well before hand and know the times.
Dwayne can just copy that post - it will save him a few minutes.

The eagle on Eli's front fender is ready.

Don't get me started. I was there, with TFS etc. Had been watching RC on the telly for a couple of years, and was peeing my pants in excitement to finally watch him ride in person, the pics above with the acerbis balloon can really show the extent of his glory. That step up jump had a crazy jump face, that wasn't build like an ordinary jump face, the angle was way to steep, so you hit it, and the suspension got totally compressed, which ended with them being catapulted in the air, and a lot of riders felt scared, or at least acted scared, because 99% of them didn't clear in until a few laps of practice. RC entered the track, and on his FIRST LAP, he whipped the sucker, while Everts cleared in on the second lap. I was a total delivery for me, I had basically travelled from Sweden to see this angry elf ride, actually bough a CR250 with his graphics woody woodpecker because I was a total fan of his and he totally delivered.

I can really describe that race, RC came from behind, Everts in lead and smoked them all. His CR250 was pinned, he clutched the sucker like crazy, doing corners on the peak of the powerband, but despite that, clutched the sucker to just find some extra ponies, it was crazy. I have newer seen a 250 smoker being tortured like that before, and most likely will newer see it again...

The best moto experience ever.

The Euros was in general more exited to see RC than, that all the riders combined. By some luck, tnx to Warthog, I was invited to the US team tent, was standing there like a retard, didn't know what to do, find the moment to talk to RCs mom. No one got why there were some stupid looking Swedes in the tent, but I squeezed every minute out of it...

DrSweden:


I actually got a pic of me and RC from the back of that truck on the first and second picture somewhere.. If that is a truck which I think it is?

I was 8 or 9 years old and stood beside my biggest idol it was fucking awesome, I didn't manage to look excited at all on that picture though, I looked rather bored actually but believe me I was excited, and nervous..
