Long ago back in the day the teams seemed like they wanted their team riders out racing as much as possible. Just as an example, Honda would approve Marty Smith racing all the SX and MX he was eligible for, as well as the 125 and 500 USGPs and Trans ... more »
Dude’s a baller
I’m always pulling for Bogle. He’s shown flashes of being able to run up front his whole career. Hoping for a few more top tens before he retires. Maybe Suzuki can focus on designing a single competitive MX racing bike whether 250 or 450 and build from ... more »
Like him or dislike him, Vince Friese is getting major screentime on the Supercross broadcasts. It actually seems like he is on camera more than Christian Craig during the races. Smartop/Bullfrog Spas/Motoconcepts Honda has got to be pleased about their ... more »
If Anderson can stay out of trouble (big ask I know!😎), I have to think he has a shot at this thing.
Great post. Thanks for sharing this analysis!
Wyman Priddy should be in the running. Pretty sure Rich Eierstedt dominated a couple AMA Trans AMA support class championships.1974 and1976
Redbud’s about a 95 minute drive from Chicago. Probably a 2 hour drive from O’Hare Airport. I would think it best to reserve/rent a car at O’Hare. South Bend, Indiana and Niles, Michigan should have plenty of hotels/motels if you book early. If you reserve ... more »

No, I phrased it poorly. I’m wondering if being in the spotlight as the sole Team Husky 450 rider will do positive things for him. By team adjustments I was thinking they might have a bigger pool of people helping with his program.
Big win for Team Husky, especially after losing Anderson and Osbourne to injury so early in the season. I’m shocked by Swoll’s win. Putting two motos together like that on a such a demanding track is badass! It will be great to see how his race craft ... more »
