My friend Tim is wrenching for Matt LeMoine this year. He sent me some pics of him preparing for east coast Supey. Figured I'd share them here, there's got to be LeMoine fans around here, he's a good guy.

Tims just getting started shooting pics so lets give em a hand folks.

Very cool pics and a very very cool helmet. I want one immediately. The only complaint I have is those ugly ass backgrounds he's running.

Yes, I really miss the days when the pros had unique paint jobs and werent just running sponsor paint jobs or OEM lid graphics.

Whats so bad about a custom paint job and some stickers to show the love?

You mean that guy who's stuck in a white mans body?

If he can stay on 2 wheels, he should do well, although I don't know what the bike difference is between star and suzuki city either and could play a factor.
And it's just Lemoine.

Being from Louisiana I would think you would be pulling for Matt since hes from your state.

His practice bike is an 09, but his dad said the race bikes were fuel injected, so id assume they are 10s

Doesn't matter to me where anyone is from. I like who I like on other things than home state.

Matt is okay, just don't like the wannabe in the kid and that podium comment was ridiculous to me. Could be part of the reason he got knocked down a team notch too.

Tim said they are still running '09's for both practice and race bikes.
When the team was getting started testing and having their motors built, Suzuki still had rumors of not homologating so they stuck with '09's. Later when Suzuki's were indeed going to homologate, they were too far into their '09 development to scrap it and move to the '10's.

The last few times I've seen him at the track, he has been on a 450. The only time I saw him ride his 250 was at I-35 MX back in October.

Fact, although maybe paraphrased.

"I'm a black man trapped in a white mans body" Yeup.. ridiculous to me. Think that was Atlanta SX.

Matt has been down here in Texas the last two weeks killing it at the O'Reilly Arenacross series. I'm the series photographer and I've gotten quite a few good shots of him because he was always out front all by himself. Here are a few shots from the last two weekends.


During his first practice on Friday two weekends ago, he crashed hard in the whoops and busted his SuzukiCity Zook up pretty bad. So he just borrowed this kids Kawi for the rest of the weekend and still smoked everyone.







This is last weekend in Waco. He got his bike back together and nobody had a chance!! His corner speed is freakin amazing!!!




Look how big of a lead he had after the 2nd turn of the first lap in this pic. BTW, the #157 on the Kawi behind him is Sean Hackley.



Here is a funny video taken a long time ago that you guys may remember. It's a little Sean Hackley.

No fear through the whoops!!

Tapia beat him one main
at the O'Reilly's ax

in Odessa, but the rest Lemoine put the hurt to everyone.

That helmet is very cool (are those headphones? Nice...), but gear that even remotely matched it would be even better IMO

At a distance, it kinda' reminds me of the MXA "crew" and their "pumpkin" lids...Huh

Good luck to Matt--I hope he makes some noise this year.
