I’m one of those guys that whines, complains and marinates on every little nuance - of our beloved AMA Pro Motocross Nationals, then I get to the race and I just love every minute, of everything about it. To witness it in live action, and see a filthy, smiley young man that squeaked in and qualified for the BIG RACE, and all is good in the world. I’d almost forgotten what a thrill this savage sport of ours is - and how badass all these competitors are….. thx to my buddy Nick and DC, for permitting me access to snap some tasty pics. Nice to meet all you new friends, Cheers !

Is Tomac wrenching for Plessenger now? Does this mean that Elito really is riding the 3? Wink

Thanks Rup! I agree with you 100% - Walking into Southwick this year after missing almost 2 years of moto was pure heaven - the sights, the sounds, the smells, the people, the riders - it was freakin Awesome!
Thanks for the pics...could not make Budd's this year.

I seen you take this shot and thought to myself I was never going to see it because I had no idea who you where. Glad to see it. Some great shots in here by the way! Thank you!

Love it.

I had not been to a national since I don't know when. 2013 maybe? 2014?

Made it to Unadilla last week....my reaction was similar to your reaction @ Budds Creek, it was just killler and a thrill to be there.

Gate fee was painful.
