This is going to prove once again why nobody is racing a 2 stroke.

Has there even been 40 guy's trying for the night show ?
No disrepect to Mike but at 275 pounds he will need more then a 250 2 smoke to even get off the gate with these 170pounds kids. I am amazed you can even ride a sx track at the weight. Again I am not bagging just saying, as you look good on the bike but you know...

I have no doubt that Bubba on a 2-smoke 250 would be faster on an SX track than him on his 450... maybe a bit slower on the start.... but the 2 smoke suits his style and he would put in a faster lap on it....

Good luck man! Did you race at Pontiac a few years ago? I remember a big dude on a 2-stroke there.

No way man. I made it to the night show 2 times, and can say. The night show is just the qualifiers. You have to make it past all the other dudes that wanna be in front of 40,000 people. Making the main is the next step, that most of us will never get too. If he was making the main, it would mean he is riding for a team. Name a open class 450F rider who makes the main, and isn't riding for some team? I'm not saying, factory either. Just some team that pays them.

No doubt about it - this IS the greatest thing to happen since Rod Kimball

decided to jump 15 school buses.

Please enjoy the clip : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVXpayrzgvM


I genuinely feel like we are all part of something immense here, something bigger

than all of us individually, yet not in a pinko-communist sort of way, sort if in a cool-ass

Playboy bunny doing donuts in a Bentley Continental GT while you slam tequila shots

to a raunchy Naughty By Nature video sorta way. I hereby raise my bid to $55.00

Jeff Emig just issued two (2) " NO DOUBT ABOUT IT's"


And yo, Heinie - if ERIN interviews you, don't be a schmuck - do something bold and

badass, something we can all be proud of - see if you can like make-out with her

or smell her hair or something.

Anything. .

Quick question on a serious note, how do you have your pro license? Did you earn it through the ranking systems and maintain it? Not sure how the whole process works since I've heard about 1,000 ways to get around this and that. I remember seeing you at the Detroit Supercross before it shit canned, so I know you've had it for sometime now. Can't wait to hear that Smoker this weekend though, good luck!

Oh dont worry if for some odd reason someone decides to interview me I will do something no one will forget, especially if going to be on TV I do not get embarrassed hence me riding almost totally naked at a AX in front of tons of people at my size!

And yes I raced Detroit like in 2006 that was the last time I raced a SX, so Alphado that was for sure me, I was riding a YZ back then.

I was able to get my license again because I had one for so long, and held a FIM license for a while too when I was going overseas, but if you have never had one, its very hard to get one now, and they are just trying to weed people out.

I mean people can make fun of me all they want but back in like 03-05 area when there was like 90 riders trying at SX, I would be faster then at least 15-20 people, back then there was 10 or 15 guys not even doing half the jumps, they were literally average or below average B riders, I know someone that somehow got a license a while ago tried to race Indy rolled the whole track, and they black flagged him and made him leave!

So I know I am not going to set the world on fire with my riding, but if you see me, then see me ride you would never expect it, I have confidence in myself as far as jumping things, etc. so I am not too worried, but we will see, its been a while for me!!

Awesome, my dad would love this photo, he raced vintage bike for a while, had a totally tricked out Elsinore 125, that he had to run race gas with 927, god it smelled so good, we would start it up in the garage with the door shut and smell the fumes.

Hey maybe thats whats wrong with me?
Hahahahaha! That could be it!

Good luck, I'll be there cheering you on. I'll also be looking for you to do a Cycle News interview, since I'm covering the SX class for them again this week.

See, riding a two-stroke is already getting him promised ink!

Oh Man alphado please give me some photos, I dont have any photos of me racing there or hardly anywhere else for that matter.

Sweet Bauer I am up for it, just got my snazzy new MSR outfit today it compliments my manly physique nicely!!!

Yeah I have raced a ton of SJO fair races, not really in 2009, but previous years I have been too alot of them, I love em, usually ok little tracks with one decent jump, and Powers is a cool guy!
