Rains pounded Southern California in the days preceding the second of three Anaheim Supercross events, but thanks to the hard work of the Dirt Wurx crew, the track was whipped into excellent shape for the third round of the Monster Energy Supercross Series. Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey earned his second Supercross main event win in a row with a masterful performance that saw him battle past San Manuel Yamaha teammates Josh Hill and James Stewart, who finished second and third, respectively. In the Western Regional Supercross Lites Main event, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Jake Weimer earned his third-consecutive win and maintains his perfect season record. Lucas Oils/Troy Lee Designs/Honda rider Wil Hahn was second at the finish and celebrated his first-ever podium appearance, while Geico Powersports Honda’s Trey Canard raced through the pack for third.
SUPERCROSS LITES QUALIFYING
When the gate dropped for the first six-lap Supercross Lites qualifier, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki’s Josh Hansen led the way through the first corner, but he had Rockstar Suzuki’s Ryan Morais hot on his tail. Morais was rear-ended in the air by another rider and knocked out of the race on lap one, though, leaving Hansen with an easy win over Lucas Oils/Troy Lee/Honda rider Cole Seely. Trey Canard was mired at the start but mowed through the field quickly, but was too far back to be a threat to the top two finishers. Travis Baker, Chris Gosselaar, Sean “Borkensausage” Borkenhagen, Ryan Clark, Bob Kiniry, and Jay Mann Jr. rounded out the direct transfers.
Hansen’s teammate and Western Regional Supercross Lites series points leader Jake Weimer was quickest off the line in the second heat race. Frenchman Gautier Paulin, Broc Tickle and Blake Wharton gave chase, but it was largely in vain as Weimer raced away with a comfortable lead. Paulin went down in the treacherous set of third-base line whoops and collected Wharton in the process.This left Lucas Oil/Troy Lee/Honda rider Wil Hahn with control of third to the finish, confortably ahead of Maxx Anstie. Jeff Alessi, Antonio Balbi, Tanner Riedman and Jake Canada filled the nine direct transfer positions.
Wharton took control of the LCQ and won easily, in spite of a first-lap bobble that nearly ended his night. DNA Shred Stix/Star Racing/Yamaha guest rider Paulin booted Team Hostility rider Eric McCrummen on the last lap to earn the final transfer position.
SUPERCROSS LITES MAIN EVENT
When the gate dropped at the start of the 15-lap Supercross Lites main event, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki teammates Weimer and Hansen led Hahn, Gosselaar, Paulin, and Canard. Hahn muscled his way past Hansen and into second at the start of the third lap and set after Weimer, who had already established a four-second lead. Behind Hansen, Paulin, Canard and Cole Seely waged a three-way battle for fourth that helped them close the gap on Hansen’s #100 bike.
At the halfway point, Weimer enjoyed a five-second lead over Hahn, who had a small cushion over Hansen, Paulin and Seely. Canard made an aggressive pass on Paulin at the start of the ninth lap, relegating the Frenchman to fifth. Once into fourth, Canard smelled blood and set out after Hansen, and the final spot on the podium. Canard made the pass with relative ease with two laps to go, and from there, the podium positions were set. At the checkered flag, Weimer celebrated his third-straight win, over Hahn in his second podium appearance of his career, and Canard, who was the hardest charger in the main event. Hansen held on for fourth ahead of Seely.

ok id like to see Jimmy Ellis in the lites class,or Marty Smith.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Best wishes to Ryan Morias, had a gnarly crash in Heat 1. Prayers go out to you man.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:58 am
I was there. Great race. The best dirt they have had at Anaheim. Weimer is on it. Dungey is killing it. Go Hill.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:04 am
so what happened to chad reed?did he get taken out or is he injured?
January 24th, 2010 at 9:16 am
What rock did you just crawl out from under ? Reed and Stewart got together at Phx that resulted in a broken hand for Reed…Bubba may or may not have thrown a fit afterwards.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:31 am
OK ,im overseas,thanks,im with it now.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:58 am
What happened to Tommy Searle???
January 24th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I freakin' told you Stewart was faking and playing it up. What a little drama queen! Yes, I am sure he was sore, but to almost hole-shot and still finish 3rd. He is the fastest man to ever throw a leg over the bike, but to say he could barely hold on by lap 8 and finish 3rd? Give me a break… Larry Brooks is an A$$-hole….emphasis on the hole. WAY TO GO DUNGEY! This season has been awesome so far and it sounds like A2 just kept the ball rolling. Get well soon Josh Grant - we need you out there. Chad is hurt too? Chad who…? LOL.
January 24th, 2010 at 10:30 am
And dudes, where the shitaki was Villopoto in all of this? Holy Monster Green Snot Buckets, I thought he was supposed to be in the mix? Come on RV2!
January 24th, 2010 at 10:38 am
to all that actually write on here.. they are all racers and need to give credit to all of them can any of you bashing any one of them on here actually even ride ? and if so can u even do a triple a jump.. So shut up and get real..
January 24th, 2010 at 10:50 am
i raced for 12 years.and 2 years on jet skis.
January 24th, 2010 at 11:09 am
congratulations on 12 DNFs and 2 years in your neighbors above ground pool with a machine that no one cares to watch smoke up the water. We're all very impressed
January 24th, 2010 at 11:19 am
Wow, I just cant wait to watch this!!!
January 24th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Dude, you're old school like me. I'd like to see Dungey racing a 76 AW440 Maico. LOL
Anyway, it was Jimmy Ellis who first double jumped on a Can-Am in 1974. BTW, well done Dungey.
January 24th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
do you know how many idiots can make a triple? I guess you are one of them…that doesn't mean crapp. even a hot 65cc can do it, i guess a triple for you is everything in a race…wow
January 24th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Too bad Windham cant get a good start, came from 13th to finish 5th, nice ride! It looks like Millsaps needs to get off the chair that he was sittin in for his little comedy act earlier in the week and put in some laps on the practice track. He is gonna struggle to make the main on whatever shitty team he rides for next year, if he has a ride.
January 24th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
hello are you nice
January 24th, 2010 at 3:48 pm
whats up with searle????????!!!!!
January 24th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Anyone know what the black coating under Hill and Stewart's fenders is?
January 24th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Who the hell cares about old school
January 24th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
Yes bubba knocked reeds bike over after race and wanted to confront him.
January 24th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
id like to see that also MJone,iv seen some pros ride vintage machines and i wouldnt write home about it.So you were that dude i lapped before i dnf’d Jake T in the 12 races i did,small world dude.
January 24th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
What race are you saying Ellis was the first to double jump? To me this award goes to Rich Eiestedt and Billy Grossi at the 73 or 74 Trans Am at Mid Ohio….
January 24th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
That black coating is probably that material that is meant to keep mud from building up under the fenders and making the bikes heavier. Read it in one of transworld's magazines.
January 24th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
any news on tommy searle
January 24th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
Wow! what a race. i was on the edge of my seat the whole race. i had the heart rate of a mid pack novice on a 40 rider starting gate! such a good race and to see dungey ride like a veteran out there was cool to! i know stewey is hurt and all but god damn dang rode good and smart! i was "super pumped for him" even though i would have rather seen hill take it! and who was the d bag that got on the mike and said stewart was lame for the sport? that guy is lame and obviously a nobody where he is from!! get a clue tool bag!! lame for the sport i think not stewart has brought the sport to the next level! dumb ass!! good thing metz got in there and straighten everything out! props to mike metzger! LItes was boring other than hahn with a good finish! weimer is def going to take the championship!!!!
January 24th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
dungeys mentor is carmichael, and it shows. this kid could of rode another 20 at that pace. charmichael has said recently that he retired too early, i think hes living thru dungey and helping him become so friggin dominant, so we may see a #5 on the bike, but the #4 is very much involved. they way he was so paitent and let hill and stew battle and tire and then jumped on his prey like a lion. ive been watchin sx for almost 25 years and have never seen a rookie so mature in my life. simply phenominal!
January 24th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
It says Dungey made the pass for the lead on lap 18…I think thats off…I just watched the race and he passed for the lead on like lap 12 or 13 i thought? Anyways DUNGEY IS A BEAST
January 24th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
good racing . bubba is such a drama queen. go hill!
January 24th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
HIS HAND IS INJURED. HE IS OUT FOR A WHILE.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
HECK YES… GO DUNGEY GO!
January 24th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
watch a great race, good clean battles, come on the internet to find bunch of people who have nothing better to do then shit talk wow.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
I HOPE DUNGEY WILL PROVE TO BE THE NEXT MCGRATH OF OUR SPORT. SO FAR SO GOOD. BRAAAAAAAAP!
January 24th, 2010 at 8:07 pm
twmx. its seely not seeley. thanks=]
January 24th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
and i wouldnt call the heat race win an "easy" win. do you guys just not like me?
January 24th, 2010 at 8:12 pm
Wat happened to Stroupe???
January 24th, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Likely teflon…
January 24th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Yes,,,,PLEASE spell his name right……SEELY…=) thank you again
January 24th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
Just to bump this,,,,PLEASE spell Cole Seely's name right…..SEELY. Thank you very much!!
January 24th, 2010 at 9:49 pm
Good racing all around. Dungey’s a powerhouse. San Manuel Yamaha had a great night, josh and bubba had a good little battle goin on which was cool to see. and how about stroupe throwin it down with the big boys. Great two starts and i much rather see him than reed out there. Notice there wasn’t any on track drama??… ENough said there. Wished windham didn’t go down on the start. Lites action was pretty expected with Weimer but good racing by guys like COle Seely, he had a great ride. And anyone know how Morris is? He got slammed and had me pretty worried for him. That section with that triple at the end had the lites guys on their toes that whole race. Good stuff
January 24th, 2010 at 10:09 pm
you just need to stfu and go make some more license plates jack A$$
January 24th, 2010 at 11:21 pm

January 25th, 2010 at 12:13 am
haha the way they put that is messed up
January 25th, 2010 at 12:18 am
ITSW ALL ABOUT THE START IF HE HETS THE STARTS HE IS A FORCE TO BE RECONED WITH
January 25th, 2010 at 12:34 am
Totally agree…..Can't believe how down hill he's gone………….their are no more excuses
he can use anymore. He doesn't even look like his old self when he HAD style
up until he moved to the 450's (he bacame the Lumberjack all of a sudden…….damn)
Good for Burner………looked pretty good.
January 25th, 2010 at 1:21 am
Good racing! Dungey looked like a seasoned vet (sick gear), Hill is getting better each round, look for him on top of the box real soon, Stewart rode well considering. Stewart's Yami looked sweet, almost JLaw -esq. I like it, I like it a lot! Props to the track workers, what a trip right?
January 25th, 2010 at 2:24 am
THANK GOD some clean racing for a change!! good example A2!! I hope he never comes back!!
January 25th, 2010 at 2:30 am
Ya Honda sucks for having milsaps on there team. They need to turf him. We hear every year hes all new and improved, and he sucks the big one every year.
January 25th, 2010 at 3:25 am
i wouldn't worry about jaket he's just a A$$ clown with nothing better to do in life but poke at people so i say just don't listen.
January 25th, 2010 at 5:50 am
Cole, even though they corrected the spelling we knew who it was… great job!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:03 am
Who cares anyway about 22?
January 25th, 2010 at 6:08 am
Also you are one of them Mr drrr. Lol!!!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:20 am
One of the best races seen lately. Example being set by the new generation, clean racing is still possible. Congratulations Dungey, Hill, Hann. Only one question: Does anyone knows what is going on with RV2??.. He was not even able to beat Brayton. (No offense Mr Brayton)
January 25th, 2010 at 7:00 am
That big French kid showed some speed, hope he comes back and rides the 450's after the GP's.
January 25th, 2010 at 7:03 am
Wow what a great race,good not seeing reed out there,we had a chance to see some very clean racing between the top three riders in the main,just by seeing that alone, you all should know that when reed goes for a pass on stewart,that he is all ways trying to put stewart down,how come every one else can make a pass with out contact?….chad is a chump always has been always will be with his hurt finger what a baby…..
January 25th, 2010 at 7:08 am
By the way go dungey,the kid is good,and for real look forward to seeing the kid do work,stewart will be back fast and strong,cant wait for the battles to come.
January 25th, 2010 at 7:16 am
no ktm's in the main .just noticed.
January 25th, 2010 at 10:12 am
who cares? Dont forget this is the guy who came from nowhere and started beating carmichael wen others couldn't, he has style like mcgrath and actually has control…. wake up clown
January 25th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
dude its because you are australian hints your name "Aussie"…….thats why your a fan!!
January 25th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
stroupe isnt a contender and he knows that because he is only racing the first 5 races or so…..he is just getting seat time for the east coast lites………but is still riding like a champ with the hole shots
January 25th, 2010 at 1:01 pm
damn that sucks haha the new ktms are sick too!!
January 25th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
go dungey and hill!!! stewarts rein is over!! betcha carmichael would come back and still kick ass. Remember the G.O.A.T?? Stewart is not the fastest alive. Compare stats between RC, Bubba, and Reed and see who comes out on top.
January 25th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
You're talking about two different things speed and consistency. The GOAT has been the most consistent MX SX rider and fastest MX rider. But when it comes to SX speed the fastest would be JBS, he is not the most consistent but come on, who would be when riding always at the edge? He had to work hard to try to beat Ricky and as far as SX concerns, he did at the end of RC's career. Anyway, RC is (and for sure for most MX fans) my favorite rider MX hero ever. Long live for the GOAT!!!!!!
January 25th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
We old school people-that's who. I have not been rude with you, please show us the same courtesy. BTW maybe if you were exposed to more Mx history, you may find it interesting. One day, Stewart, Reed, Rc et al will be riders of a forgone era too.
January 25th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Ok, you pre-date mine. I was thinking Ellis at the 74 Superbowl of MX. Rich or Grossi then
January 25th, 2010 at 2:20 pm
And the shit is…………….the dude has MTF as his back yard. Whats the deal with that boy! Half the privateers out there would love to have 5 or 6 tracks, MX and SX, in their back yard with an endless supply of dozers and dirt. No excuse bro! Ride the damn thing or give it to someone who will!
January 25th, 2010 at 2:55 pm
fantastic racing..love it even more if they`d boot Sheehen outta the booth. The way Dungey hit that left hander right after he passed the "with out a doubt fastest man on the planet" was unreal.Someone please tell RV`s Grandad to wake Ryan up before he`s too far behind.
January 25th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Agggggrrrrrreeeeee!!! Lol!!!!! Aussie clown! HAhahaa!!!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
Sad but true. WAKE UP VILLO!!!!! C'omon!!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
hey u wake up clown the only time he ever beat Ricky is when he was heart or crashed but he never really did crash or get heart . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
right on dude !!!!!!!!! give the privateers a chance to ride factory honda . garontie you there will be more hondas up top!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
know one knows
January 25th, 2010 at 6:45 pm
aggered Dungey is the new Carmicheal
January 25th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
ya man great job
January 25th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
hey dude i was rootin for ya!
January 25th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
you dunb ass did you even see the crashs that james was in
so your tell me you could be on the bike the next WEEK and race your old pace…. hell no!!!
… or do you even have a bike
January 25th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
o nice,ur an idiot AND u cant spell hurt
January 25th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
hey,i agree with jarret,yes,stewart is a b@#$%,and hes a baby,but reed,i hate to say this,but,his time is uphe needs to throw in the towel so hes remembered as a good racer except a wash up,he should go race trucks
January 25th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
me 2,i think hes got sometin goin on here
January 25th, 2010 at 7:39 pm
Did you take a small yellow bus to school?? Didn't you see the crash 2 weks ago?? Aren't you smart enough to be even a little suprised that HE even showed up??? C'mon now you gotta think for yourself!!
January 25th, 2010 at 7:43 pm
learn how to spell people!!!! effin seriously… it's HURT not heart there HC4! and "Aussie", your boy didn't "come out of nowhere and start beating carmichael"… from what I can remember he came over and rode for YoT and got his ass handed to him outdoors by a kid on a KX125 and yes he did beat Carmichael a FEW times but you know damn well all his championships have an asterisk(*) by them… but yes he is a smooth rider.
January 25th, 2010 at 7:45 pm
For all of you who think James is faking…didn't you even see the crash 2 weeks ago? Anyone in thier right mind should be suprised he was even able to race…let alone come in third. No disrespect to Hill, but who's thinking that suddenly he's practically as fast as Stewart is crazy in the head…. taking nothing away from Dungey, but the same goes for him. Who would really bet against James Stewart???He is the fastest rider whether you like him or not. Have you ever thought deeply as to why you don't like him????
January 25th, 2010 at 8:23 pm
Is it safe to say "He's the fastest man on the planet"? it's too bad fast doesn't =smart…
January 25th, 2010 at 8:26 pm
theres no true report that he did that,
January 25th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I agree…but even the GOAT himself said srewart is not only the fastest but he's also the one with the biggest balls of them all. If you're looking for intlelligence on the race track….good luck with that…after all how many mx racers not only have a college degree but have even ever set foot on a college campus…let alone high school. Who do you think is intellectually sound??
January 25th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Wheres Lawrence,to tired to race or back in jail.
January 25th, 2010 at 9:56 pm
Chad is a dirty rider,a cry baby, and makes excuse after excuse. Now hes a has been. Lets hope he goes home. Blaming the AMA tracks for dnf's 2 weeks in a row ! He is bad for the sport, Go home !!!
January 25th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
i totaly agree with you on the clean racing part but i dont think reed would have even been close to the top 3 to race dirty if he was healthy he looks like crap on that kawasaki he should have never switched but i guess thats what you get when your racing for the money and not for the love of it. im sick of his crying he just needs to pack up and go back down under.
January 25th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
Dungey is amazing ! its great to see him kick but. He works hard and is great for the sport and a great role model for everybody. The racing has been clean without Reed and thats good for tight racing. I like seeing Hill doing so well, riding with Stewart looks to be helping him out. Stewart is not riding like he has in the past , he did't look normal at A-1 and now he is hurt but still something doesn't look right! The Suzukis look alot faster and look like their handling better, Dungey flew by Hill down the starting area with no problem. L/M may need to get their bikes working better, who knows?
January 25th, 2010 at 11:26 pm
is it true villipoto used to lap faster on the 250 then the 450s on some tracks,even faster then carmichael at some tracks?
January 25th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
i didnt see the crash and have no idea what happened,so can anyone describe it .
January 25th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
all the top riders do their degrees on the track,and you can do a bunch of degrees and be no good at nothing.
January 25th, 2010 at 11:37 pm
Your right, Short finished 5 seconds behind Stewart at A-2 . How many times did Short finish 20 seconds behind Stewart last season? Every race Stewart didn't crash! Stewart is not riding up to his normal speed. Dungey and Hill look great but are no match for James when he rides normal. Its funny how everybody is already writing James off. We will just have to wait and see !!
January 25th, 2010 at 11:52 pm
Agreed…dungey is the future of the sport
January 25th, 2010 at 11:52 pm
Reed's got nothin on Bubba. GO JOSH HILL!
January 25th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
Yeah this kids definitely got a future ahead of him. Helps that hes on a suzuki too for those hole shots. Always 1 or 2 yellow bike in the top 5 commin out of the first corner. Reed even admitted that he misses his suzuki on the starts.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:30 am
Dungey is doing better than anyone could have expected and he is in great shape, Hill also> Remember Dungey used to train at Stewarts house too, but before you tag him the future of S/X Stewart has not rode near as fast as he can, not even at A-1. Stewart finished 5 seconds in front Short at A-2, last season if he didn't crash Short couldn't come within 25 seconds of him. I don't think Dungey will have anything for James when JS starts riding the way he normally does. I'm a Dungey fan but I'm not going to get ahead of myself yet.
January 26th, 2010 at 4:16 am
he admited it himself in the video and brooks said it happened in a interview he did with mxa so try agian.
January 26th, 2010 at 4:22 am
i still don't see where chad has been any worse then any other rider out there.
January 26th, 2010 at 6:04 am
U just gotta look at how far dungey has come in just a few years. His work ethic is unbelievable and i think hes a smarter rider than stewart. Stewart might not be healthy now, but u got to remember this is dungeys first season on a 450 as well. Give him a few years
January 26th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
sounds like ur a reed fan always complaining about some thing! just like reed a little cry baby
January 26th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
ya dude im not a reed fan . !!!
January 26th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Riding 250's and 450's is a total different business. 250's are easier to throw around in tight spaces thus increasing corner speed. Corner speed is key in supercross. Have you ever had a chance to compare the two bikes?
January 26th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Your right, Dungey is smarter and riding a much better bike and on a better team. Stewart has more natural talent and will kill himself crashing before letting Dungey take his title. Dungey has had some nice breaks like Pourcels bike blowing up, thats why he won that outdoor title. At the MXoN, that moto win was due to all top guys crashing on the first lap. But nobody ever talks about that, Dungey doing great but he will be tested for sure !!
January 26th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Hence bro, HENCE!
January 26th, 2010 at 9:20 pm
Noooo, not the asterisk thing. Ouch!
January 26th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Yeah! Get wheewel you guys. Get Wheewel !
This forum is almost as much fun as watching the race. Almost.
January 26th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
12 years on the bike, 2 on jet skis and 4 in the concession stands.
January 26th, 2010 at 9:27 pm
The spelling and grammatical errors not to mention sentence structure is killing me. We are Mx'ers, not idiots. C'mon boys.

You gotta wonder how much the Des Nations has helped their confidence. Dungey and Weimer I'm saying. Its all about who your competition is and where you've been. I equate this too HS wrestling for example. You go out and wrestle the Beast, the Iron Man, Power-aide, go to Fargo and Vegas. Then come back home to your state. It makes the state championship seem like a Normal old match. You know you can hang and beat the best in the country or world, then you come back home to your everyday world and you are like……..I can do this in my sleep. Pick a sport, its all the same. For Dungey to go over to Italy and race a 450 against the worlds best, and for Weimer to go and hold his own and lay it down….and oh yeah, Tedesco held his too

First of all Garp! In your context, the first "to" should have been "too". And secondly, jealously will get you nowhere here but a seat in the bleachers with a dog in one hand and your Johnson in the other, just WISHIN you were on the gate of a local track, much less A1, 2, or 3. Thirdly a question mark wouldn't have hurt at the end of the spew coming from your a$$ hole. And last but not least, cut the dude a break. Hes been there, done that, including where you are referencing, and fool…………..the man is simply frickin bad ass when it comes to ridin a bike. PERIOD! Nobody is asking your kids to look up to him. Or you to look up to him for that matter. But damn, I sure wish I could ride like him. Tired or not. Racing or not. Your time, your place………..YOU RACE J-LAW!

Only messin with you dude. Its all good!

We've raced with him his whole life….well maybe not raced. Ok we were on the same track as him since he, Tickle and Osborne were on 60's before KTM came to play with their 65's. Did the D13 thing and Mega series with the boy up until he headed west to Mitches house. The boy can flat out roll. He had some bad luck last year outdoors. He'll have that little French girl to deal with on the east coast, but wait till the outdoors again. He'll shine no doubt!

C'mon Villi!

When he ran the Des Nations at Budds Creek when we were there and he ran is 250 mixed in with the 450's of the world, he whole shot BOTH motos and spanked the field on half the bike. He's not out of the mix. But the man does have a point, tryin to ride a 450 on a tight ass supercross track has got to be a bitch to say the least. They are simply a heavy ass beast of a bike.

besides at least reed will do it himself instead of having his teamate do it stewart is a puss if you ask me. having your teamate do it for you is a puss move. on top of that to go in to someones pits and knock over thier bike is another puss move.

reed and stewart watch out dungey is coming
January 27th, 2010 at 3:56 am
Do you really think Stewart asked Chisolm to take Reed out? Stewart is so much faster than Reed he has never needed any help to beat him, Chisolm barely touched Reed and he quit and cried like a baby, 2 laps before that happened Reed cleaned out JS like he has done many times before. Reed is the worst sport in the AMA,but your right when JS pushed his bike over that was STUPID ! Reeds days are limited.

i really don't think it was stewart that asked him to. but i do belive he knew that it could happen it was a brooks thing. but when it boils down to it i don't think either one of them is good for the sport stewart has a ego the size of california and reed has a tendency to whine but if you look at the way things are going we have a rider coming up that can properly promote this sport. but if you really think that the incident in salt lake was not a team thing your kidding yourself. i think both of they're days are numbered and other riders are coming up and they will not roll over for stewart or reed.

I felt that heat race win was pretty easy…
January 27th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
I saw Villi pull hole shots in both his motos on his 250F's at Budds Creek for the Des Nations against the worlds best 450's. Outdoors is certainly different than in. The man is right. You ever try to handle a 450 outdoor muchless in? They are a frickin beast!
January 27th, 2010 at 9:26 pm
i think scrap both classes,have only 350 s, lots of of qualifing races and only the fastest in the final
January 27th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
How do you watch races? Is this your first year or something? Do you honestly think that dungey (no disrespect to him at all) is REALLY as fast as a HEALTHY james stewart? I suppose you think Hill has managed to miraculously find a way to close that 25 second gap per lap that a healthy stewart consistently beats him by? Or maybe you just want to see anybodies face on the podium except for #7. Take a deep look at yourself my brother and ask why!!!
January 28th, 2010 at 12:54 am
i think your reading in to it a little to far. just like you like stewart this guy likes dungey get over it fool.
