Wasn't there a promo with Dave Despain where he mentioned RC and MC coming out to race? Or was that just thrown in to make the joke about them being the only 2 strokes on the track?
There's 2 video's with Despain. He made a joke about the "old" guys and 2 strokes, not talking about bikes. McGrath is not racing.

Sick!! That's almost too much cool with those two combined. Does 722 find a transfer to hit in warm ups?

Yep, pretty stoked! Should be fun. Was going to do 345, but a little too late now.

I shot this in slow motion so there was no audio... sorry. But his eyes at the end say it all.

Can Mclerath back up his win last year on a Yamaha 250 this year?

Personally I find RBSR more exciting then MEC,A1 or the 1st national of the year. For a 1 off event it has it all.

Hoping for a gnarly long set of whoops so Travis can destroy the field!

Going full 2 stroke was the best thing for this event. Last year was awesome. JS7 on a KX250 would top everything to me. Maybe it'll happen eventually. Also I saw AJ Cat is doing a Pastrana tribute, but Pastrana will be there too, so will we have 2 199's?

He probably won't be there. Won't be a red bull athlete anymore.

I agree. I think being on bikes they don’t race every weekend levels the playing field somewhat because they don’t have tons of seat time or setup data. Makes it a lot more interesting.

RV is a Monster athlete and that didn't stop him.

He wasn't an active racer at the time though. It wouldn't surprise me if Monster didn't want them racing it because the risk of injury.

Red Bull doesn't just invite Red bull athletes.

Still, Red Bull is pretty welcoming to other brands for that event.

Mike Brown was on a Rockstar sponsored Husky last year.

Oh I don't doubt Red bull wouldn't allow them. Basically what I'm saying is that Monster might not want their athletes (in this case McElrath) to participate. It's only a exhibition race with quite high risk of injury. I know Red Bull push their athletes to attend. Roczen said something along the likes just now that "They've been pushing for me to attend so I'll have to do it now".

Not saying that's exactly how it is, but it is my suspicions.

Mike Brown also isn't a professional anymore Wink

This would be a good once a year event for JS7.

If he’s not there, I’d think it would have more to do with only having 5 days on an aluminum frame after XX number of years on steel. Who knows, though, he may adapt really quick and wreck shop again this year.

And Travis wonders why he has nightmares! That's a wild pic, I didn't think he ever really got that scared.
