Motocross

Three rounds and two front runners are out of it already both with Knee injuries. First Villopoto and now Alessi. Bummer.

Over 500 if the best mini-moto riders in the world converged on Las Vegas the past couple of days for the mini-moto SX championships. The Expert class was stacked with top names. Brad Ripple. Josh Dumuth. Willy Browning. Derek Costella. David Pingree - and the recently suspended bad boy of Motocross, J-Lawbreaker. This isn't child's play. Not for the person with a tight pocketbook. The bikes are custom made. Some running up to $20,000. Michael Blose won the 12 expert event - with Tim Weigand coming in second. Ryan Abrigo won the 10 inch Expert and Costella came in second. On a semi-more-affordable portion of the program. Phillip competed in the 12 inch stock/modifie…

http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/sig...gi?LothMX&1 Hi . can i ask you all to sign this petition . We are lobbying Edinburgh council for a track and although we have had a bit of local press coverage, and a positive response from the council - we need as much support as possible. Many thanks in advance.

Those wacky Italians. While shipping their bikes over to the event, they stuffed the crates with wine and pasta! Now the bikes are detained in customs and the Italian champ won't ride unless he's got his official race bike. What, they couldn't get a good bottle of vino and some pasta over here? And gotta love our trials guy Shan Moore, who's doing the reporting for Cycle News this weekend. He hunts down the juiciest stories.

A little article on the CCM Project. punch here I wonder if they would like to make us a trial bike next.

Have you heard if it's true that RC is going to ride at Bercy? If it's true when is it and do you know of any trips going from west yorksire? Thanks ,hope its true.

Pacific Northwest motocross has been a very colorful scene for many years, and a central part of the motocross season has been the AMA national motocross at Washougal mx park. This pastoral setting has been the scene of many an epic battle featuring dozens of spectacular characters from the early days around 1973, to present day riders such as Ricky Carmichael, Kevin Windham etc. bellowing around on huge four stroke machines, but just recently the hallowed hills of Washougal MX park heralded the return of vintage racing on it's dark brown earth and loamy berms. Saturday May 19th the track was set up expecially for the older machines with most of the whoops and jump…

So this years Outdoor Lites(250F) battle in the USA should be a good one! I'm sure there are some Ben Townley fans on this board right? What does everybody think? I'm sure that without any unfortunate injuries, this years Lites battle is going to be between the defending Champ Ryan Villopoto and 2004 MX2 World Champ Ben Townley. After seeing Ben hang with Ricky in the 2005 MX Des Nations I know that he is fast! Ben just won our East Coast Lites Supercross championship also. The East/West shootout in Las Vegas should be great! Don't count out Jason Lawrence either! I gonna root for Ryan but atleast we have some racing in the lites class. The premier class is pretty much a …
