Doing a little pre-season photo testing with the pros at Glen Helen.

We love this time of year, and the transition time from Supercross to motocross. The riders can twist the throttle hard and hold it on for extended periods of time, get out of second (and third) gear, and their suspension actually moves. It's a whole different beast from the indoor series. The reconfigured layout at Glen Helen will provide some different challenges at round two of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, and we checked in during the final Thursday test session to see what everyone was up to.

A whole bunch of stuff has been reconfigured in the Glen Helen infield, including this launcher that Aaron Plessinger's hitting.

This shot of Jeremy Martin gives you an idea how the course runs from the Talledega first turn up to the mid-point of the first hill.

Whoops, sorry, Cole. We like getting close to the actin, but GuyB was a little close on this one.

Josh Grant and Glen Helen go together like peanut buttery and jelly...or Dunlops and berms.

Alex Martin had a full slate of injuries after Detroit, but they didn't keep him off the bike for too long. He's been on the mend (and sidelines) since then.
