SUPERCROSS? well it's 2 wheels isn't it?

Yea it's that time of year when the AMA Supercross makes it's annual debut at Aneheim, Ca. Ok ok I know I write and talk about cycling and other stupid, non-important somtimes cutting edge, boring yet unique, related to nothing, useless although helpful, so yesterday but sometimes current stuff, but people (2) are reading it so I keep writing it. It may not be things that a person needs to know but I shoot for entertainment mostly here at command central HQ of Scooby's Snacks.

As usuall James (I have no brain) Stewart won. I swear this guy has to be the fastest guy to ever have raced a motocross bike but can't keep his head connected mentally for a complete season. At least he's stayed outta jail unlike most of the NBA or Tennessee collegiate football team. I usually pick one rider and try to keep up with him and give him my support throughout the season. I used to travel to Atlanta, Ga. every year for the SX in the dome but I have been slacking for the last couple of years. I may attempt it this year, maybe not. As long as Stewart wins everything in sight the racing is boring....

2010 Anaheim practice


Stewart wins again , yawn.....

Mr. Villopoto, I thought he was the next star.

This is who I'm putting all my eggs in one basket for....#5 Dungey!

I wish this guy still had it! Mike Brown, I grew up with him and raced with him during "his learning years" when he raced 80's and 125's. I still get to see him on occasion when he rides the road with us but mostly he's out of town racing somewhere. He can flat out hammer on a road bike too!!!He's still fit as a fiddle (Tn. slang)
