hershey · Mar 29, 2012

That transfere is insane !

RocketRobin · Mar 29, 2012

I think there was a little typo on the press release, I believe that Damon Huffman would have last won the Lites on a Suzuki in 1995 not 1985.

Windham's transfer is insane..... when you have kids like Bogle scared of what he's going to even try..... that tells you how risky it is!

John250 · Mar 29, 2012

Windham is incredible. That is knowing your abilities and EXACTLY how fast you need to go all the time to make a jump. He has always been so smooth. I remember watching him on a Kawasaki at LL in I believe it was the schoolboy class. That was the first time I had ever heard of this guy named Kevin Windham. Definitely one of my favorites of all time. What is there not to like about K-Dub?

Judnash · Mar 29, 2012

whindam is siiiick! i love how he just finds all these random transfers at each round.

barrington314 · Mar 29, 2012

good eye rocket. it even says eddie warren won in 85 on a kawi.

barrington314 · Mar 29, 2012

so RV can wrap the title up this weekend. if he wins and stewart or dungey dont race. its over. If he comes in second and someone other than davi milsapps wins, its over.

It also sounds like Josh hill might be returning this weekend.

MX315 · Mar 29, 2012

I have to get that windham vid I got from Vegas last year up..It's also insane,Windham is the man for sure!

TCracing · Mar 29, 2012

The most Epic season of all time (at leat I hoped at the beginnig) has sort of fizzled out to a drizzle for me. I am glad to see RV where he is I just wish the competition would have stayed healthy, Not just for their sake, But to keep things interesting. The last couple rounds the big bikes have been kind of Ho HUM... I wonder if a guy like RV would really rather be fighting to the final corner of the last race for the championship. I would like to think so.

Kdub needs to stop that crap B4 he gets hurt...

barrington314 · Mar 29, 2012

James Stewart ‏ <s>@</s>js7

I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend!! So here I come Houston!!

Saw that somewhere...we'll see if he can "compete"....

Yeah, that video says a lot for what Windham does on those transfers. Thinking he has a career in stunt riding after he hangs it up on the track...well, at the national level anyway....

John250 · Mar 30, 2012

I watched that again........I wonder how many of those guys racing say "no way"..........I just noticed this time around that he actually has to jump the back side of the berm before taking off.

barrington314 · Mar 30, 2012

anyone know if that dome in pontiac is still for sale? if i win the mega millions tonight, im buying it and turning it into moto heaven. haha. i love the looks of fresh supercross tracks like above. i stare at it for ever over and over.

John250 · Mar 30, 2012

Sold about a year or two ago. The guy that bought it STOLE the place, $583,000......cost 55.7 Million.

Scoob · Mar 30, 2012

I have friends up there that I thought said the due was going to use it for motorsports type stuff. Heck, I don't know. I could have been dreaming for all I know....

barrington314 · Mar 31, 2012

James Stewart ‏ <s>@</s>js7

Did you see that Americans spent 1.5 billion dollars to win a lotto only worth 640mil?

James Stewart ‏ <s>@</s>js7

Just finished eating dinner with the Fam at cheesecake factory & it was bangin. Hitting the bed now, so I'll Holla at you guys tmrw

halffast · Mar 31, 2012

It may just be the camera angle in that last pic but I'm looking for a lot of 1st turn carnage from that start . A middle starting position might have an advantage over the inside . I'll be anxious to see where RV , K dub , and Stewart start from .

MX315 · Mar 31, 2012

Yo Stephen...Your mission is to stream this race,Nobody wants to watch it tomorrow.....Find the live feed and Post it.....

factory 113 · Mar 31, 2012

314 im. with ya , i could stare at those track pics all day !
