I'm a huge fan of the series and almost all types of dirt bike racing. I usually go every year but the Oakland venue is not good in my opinion. Cant view anything real well unless you go up high and then your too far away. It was great in San Francisco at AT&T park.
With KTM being my bike of choice, i am a Dungey fan, but really like a lot of the top guys....

The 450 main event was a really good race. Nice to see some great action toward the end. We sponsor (Braap Shop Yamaha) three riders in the lites (Mull, Champion & Freebird).

I agree. I loved AT&T, Oakland is a pain in the a$$.
On a different note, why does everybody hate Bubba? I know his rivalry with Chad a few years ago was mostly his fault, but the guy was a breath of fresh air after the Ricky Carmichael decade. And he's awesome to his fans.

When james was on an 85cc we were racing at the same time.His dad would walk around the pit's so cocky.james sr. was always demanding something from somebody.And james jr would taut the other riders while they where racing. As he was passing them he'd whip his bike and point at them.james jr was fast, his problem was he raced like the gangbangers played basket ball.He was always trying to prove he was better than the other racers.All he needed to do was just win the race,and keep the trash talk to him self.Once he hit the Pro's I think the sponors shut him up.

I don't hate him. He responsible for some of the best "wipe-outs" I've ever seen in the 40+ years I've been following the sport.

That sums it up right there.....

I wanna like the guy, i love the fact that a minority is doing very very well in that sport. I love the diversity...What i dont like is when he gets beat, like saturday, he always coming up with an excuse, saturdays excuse was "man, i've been battling this cold, but no excuses, but Chad was really fast tonite". Just once i want to here him say, "the dude was just faster"..

But hey, were talking about him, right? isn't that what his sponsers want? he's not washed up yet.

But this is going to be a great year, i hope all the main guys can stay healthy...
