Been hearing a lot about #490 Damon Smith because the guy apparently shouldn't have been on the track this past weekend and came across this on YouTube just now. Sure looks scary.....
Looks awkward though.
The Shop
I regret talking crap about him because he seems like a successful guy who wanted to give racing dirt bikes a go, but to race supercross, SUPERCROSS? I've seen him ride outdoors, too. People are like "Oh he's probably faster outdoors", Noooo, see how sketchy he is jumping through the rythms? That's how he looks when he jumps 15 foot tabletops at the local track. He just DGAFs I guess.
Something is definately up with this. Notice the video editing and all the psuedo hype? I am really interested in seeing what his true motivations are.
If it was just to ride a SX track why the videos and website? I smell a lawsuit or something similarly lame in the future.
However after hearing how he was getting in riders way (sending at least one on an ambulance ride - Austin Howell), and then seeing that he was over 10 seconds off the next slowest guy, you would think the AMA would step up.
Just saw this video over on RonRon. At first it looks like the rider just gets squirrelly for some reason... then you realize its because he came up on #490 so fast he must have shit himself midair once he saw him rolling in front of him.
You are right though. The AMA needs to step in and yank this guys license asap. I agree with some that say the guy deserves a shot, and appreciate his balls but there's no reason other than the promoters collecting a extra entry fee that he should be out there.

Usually means your on your way out the door from racing Pro AMA stuff,not on the door step waiting to get in. LOL.
We don't even work for the AMA and we all know that.
490 was not even close...plus, the other 2 guys were only doubling.....
It's one of those rules that why even have the rule if they don't check for actual results and prove they earned the points.

Then look at his practice video from March of 2009
