Thanks for postin! Man those pictures of the dirt work are insane! Just puttin down the plywood seems like a nighmare. i would love to see a feature on dirtwerx, on what it takes to build a sx track. Ive built a ton of tracks and Im still in awe of those guys everytime. Wonder if theyre hiring lol.
 
Ive always wondered why no one has done a feature on the whole building process and tear down process of the events. Ive seen short little videos. But i want to see some good detailed stuff. Id easily watch a 1/2 hour video about it. Ahh theres tons of things Id love to do if I had the equipment and know how. Although Feld would probably want some coin to allow a video like that to be done.

I also see that the last video i posted isnt working to well. It worked in the "preview post" but not in the real post. hmm. O well, wasnt anything major anyways. Zero riding.


Steve Matthes ‏<s style="text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">@</s>pulpmx
Hansen is benched by his team for his LCQ move at A1 this weekend per Racer X- nice to see a team take action itself. Also 4K AMA fine

Ryan Villopoto ‏<s style="text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(187, 187, 187);">@</s>ryan_villopoto2
Good luck to my brother Tyler tonight in his <s style="text-decoration: initial; color: rgb(102, 181, 210);">@</s>Arenacross debut in Baltimore!

I toured Chase field last year when I was there on business. My hotel was about two blocks away. Very cool place, and nice as stadiums go for sure. They mention SX in their tour. They said that SX comes in every year in January, and right after the SX they use the same dirt for Monster trucks. The sweetest thing about the deal, is that the SX promoter then puts down a brand new field for the diamond backs every single year. They guy giving the tour said after the baseball season its really in need in some areas, so that it is a great deal for the diamondbacks. Pretty cool, they can close the roof in the place in 5 minutes, and cool the temperature inside the stadium 20 degrees in 3 hours.

If your every out there, block down the street is a Tilted Kilt sports bar also........place really makes any Hooters you have ever been in seem pretty bad.
 
Blake Baggett update from RacerX, apparently they didn't do well in English class. :)

Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Blake Baggett bones in his hand and wrist during last weekend's first turn melee in the 250SX main event (he didn't crash, but was hit a cartwheeling bike). He had a cast put on the hand on Monday, but then cut it off and tried to go racing today. He looked okay, until he got whiskey throttle (due to the wrist/hand injury) through a rhythm section and crashed spectaculaly.
With that, the experiment is over, and Blake is going to sit out tonight's race, and quite possibly the rest of the West Region 250 SX season in order to get healed up for the motocross season. Surgery might be in order, but no one is sure yet.
Tough luck for him. Get well soon, Blake!

What's up with the fastest man on the planet, Bubba? Lays down the fastest lap in practice, and wins the heat race (like normal), but finishes a boring 7th place? Everyone kept talking about the knee.....really I don't want to hear about the knee. Can not be hindering the riding too much to lay the fastest lap down and win the heat with no issues. I personally think that Bubba's championships are DONE. He may win a race here or there, but less than 5 more wins in his career. Just my opinion.
 
its a shame with the competition, u sit there waiting to see who eats sh?t first, just like sissy car racing.i still root 4 grant the whole race.word up

Like I have mentioned before, bubba's kind of the vet pro guy now. I think even 100% healthy he would have his hands full, so much younger talent right now.

The better question is whats up with Dungey?? Talk about missing the mark.
 
And RV....down so much. He needs to get that together before he gets hurt again! Great ride for sure!
 
I agree.......Dungey looks sluggish or something. He messed around behind Albertson in the LCQ forever. A guy like Dungey should have won that LCQ by 10 seconds.

Some guys just need to understand when they aren't ready to race. Dont get me wrong, BB has a phenominal amount of speed, and he has the all the skill needed for SX. But trying to push over the limits and cut-off a cast early, just to try and manage a few points, could have easily threw away the whole 2013 season, SX and Outdoor. I love bagget, one of my favorite riders for sure. Hope he doesnt try and sneak out early again and throw away the outdoors. He has everything needed to bring it home for Kawi and the PC boys.
 
Not trying to start a brand war but you have to believe it could be bike related at this point. KTM and Kawi made suspension changes and RV and Dungy have issues. Did KTM make suspension changes to the 250? If so, then that does not explain KR in the 250 class. The Honda's have it dialed, Both 250 and 450, and Suzuki looks good with Millsaps (and JS in the heat races). The yami are non-existent with only 1 in the top 10 in both classes. Just a thought....
