Guys and girls Endurocross starts back up tomorrow and Saturday at Glensdyland(Glen Helen Raceway). On the web site and tickets are 20 for 1 day and 35 for 2 days. And again the following weekend before the final 2 rounds in Idaho. If you have never watched one live now is your chance.
Watch the time trials and the heat races and the mains. It’s even open to those who want to give it a try with Vet and Women’s and Pro. Classes.

Anthony Johnson. He’s from far North Idaho. Kid has skills, been riding with Haaker a little. Hoping he can turn some heads.
Anybody at GH? Can we get some updates?

Glen Helen Raceway coverage of the final moto.
I’m thinking Dick Mann would have done Ok in this sport. Always had the utmost respect for riders that have success across disciplines.
Cool to see Cooper Abbott get a Moto win!
I'm not shocked at all to see Haaker rise to the top or to see Hart keep knocking on the door of the Haaker/Webb dominance. I suspect he's gonna keep steadily getting better now that he has a full KTM factory ride.
Idaho boy Anthony Johnson had a solid showing, sitting 9th in points. Not bad for a 17 year old kid riding an 8 year old bike!
Even Cody was complaining about the excess of jumps...
*That said, I can agree that it should be more technical based than what it is, but they all have to race the same course so it is what it is.
Pit Row
For some reason promoters seem to think there has to be a lot of jumps, just like sx and now mx.
Just like MX , the jumps are killing the amateur turnout...
Either way, it's usually still the most exiting form of 2 wheel racing to watch in my opinion so I'll take what I can get!
I think the biggest problem, and why it seems like the tracks are too basic, is that the top pros are just so damn good! Seriously, these guys can go through sections at speeds I can’t comprehend and be in full control, it’s more mind blowing to me than supercross and I’ve done both at the amateur level. The difference in speed between an amateur like myself who doesn’t have a track to practice on vs a pro who’s training on this stuff for months leading up to the event is huge. It’s a tough balance but I think overall they do a pretty good job of finding it, no matter what they do one side isn’t going to be happy.
I do find the larger finish line jump to be pretty fun though.
2013 Vegas Final was the best track ever IMO. One small jump.
There where over 60 amateurs trying to qualify for 12 spots, it was really hard just to make the main!
The stands where packed and the crowd loved the action! Not to mention the great live stream coverage

He’s Definitely wishing he had gone with the TM 300 4t after the first couple rounds.
