After a week off from racing, the Lucas Oils Motocross Championship returned to Spring Creek MX in Millville, Minnesota where racers were greeted by an amazing track (many said the best its been in years) and excited fans. The Rockstar/Makita/Suzuki camp made their presence known by taking the wins in both classes as well as a third overall in the 450 class (Michael Byrne).
It’s Monday, and it’s back to the grind, but you might as well start it off with some moto. Be sure to check out the highlight video too, if you haven’t already.

1st and second. mike don't count.
poor Josh Grant. tough break bro.
And Hot Sauce? What happened?
You blow a shift in the corner or click neutral?What?
I'm gettin' sick and tired of seeing and hearing Reed talk the same crap every time.
My doctor, i'm sick, my tummy hurts. wah wah. suck it up princess.
And he did. Kudo's to Chad for the win. He rode super smart.
Ivan the terrible had him though.
I could've swore I seen J-Law. He finished like 18th???
Some were saying he wasn't there?

in photo 8 what´s that thing in the bak of the jimmy albertson´s helmet???!!!

Do you not hear the reporter ask Reed about his health every time they talk to him??? Reed has brought it up a few times prior to this but this one was all the reporter. And yeah…id say hes sucking it up quite nicely. And if Reed is a princess, that must make the whole rest of the 450 and 250 pro motocross riders the princess's daughter right?!

July 20th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
It must be the Hats Off device. I think so anyway.

Its the shock doctor helmet bladder. it lifts the helmet off his head with out having to move his head or neck in case of head or neck injury.
