Well like most people who watch my videos – well probably the people who watch the supercross ones know, the 2009 season of AMA Motocross is kind of boring yet exciting at the same time. Stewart, Alessi, Villopoto and Windham are not even racing and it’s only been 4 rounds.

Good news is though, Chad Reed will likely grab his first AMA Motocross Championship title, I don’t think he won any in the 125cc class, especially against Stewart all those years ago. For those people who say Chad only entered because James wasn’t I bet you didn’t know Stewart never signed the contract for a motocross season. The only reason, and a stupid one at that, Kawasaki didn’t give Stewart a moto ride for 2009 was because they preferred Ryan Villopoto since he crashes less often. Looks like their plan didn’t work out, Ryan was out in round 2 I believe.

What I don’t understand is why they didn’t sign both riders, I’m sure they’d be happy with a 1st and 2nd for the series. I also thought it was pretty cool that James has been Kawasaki his whole life, hardly any riders do that the only ones I know of are Travis Pastrana and Ryan Dungey, both Suzuki riders.

Back to the Motocross and I have to say NBC is the worst when it comes to broadcasting Motocross. No joke, half the show was talk about the first moto, when they could have shown it. Also the commentary is boring, I prefer Jeff and Ralph since they know what they’re talking about.

Since I’m a Suzuki/Reed fan, I hope he wins the series and hope he gets the next Supercross season as well.

I’ve also been watching the 2007 Lites Motocross season, it’s also very exciting to see Grant, Villopoto and Lawrence battle.

Travis Pastrana, a legend in everything Motocross is making a comeback to what he loves most; Supercross! After a 3 year break from any AMA Supercross racing, that being Daytona 2006 where he had shown so much promise but went down in the whoops (Watch Racing Days Vol.1 to see), now he is back and has been training for 2 weeks solid. No doubt the 199 could beat 80% of the riders that line up to the gate week in, week out without training, now lets see how much he can improve.

The track will play to his advantage since he was part of it’s design and no doubt he added in aspects that will help him get along. The only thing that Travis has to watch out for is crashing. It seems everybody’s favourite racer just couldn’t seem to stay on the bike long enough to grab an AMA 250cc/Pro Class wins but perhaps now it’s time. No doubt Stewart and Reed won’t give Travis an inch, they have the championship. Similarly to Jason Lawrence at Daytona this year, Travis also has nothing to lose so he’ll be going all out this time.

If you’re going to the race be sure to mention KICKERMAN360 and KICKERfilm.com to Travis! Or if you’re like me you’ll be watching the broadcast which airs on either CBS or SpeedTV this weekend. Check your local listings.

Another (in my opinion) boring race, the season looked like a close Reed-Stewart and perhaps Ryan Villopoto and Reed in the mix, but it’s turned out to be a James Stewart show (again). Winning both his heat race and the main event, Stewart gained a substantial lead over 2nd place. Reed came out of the first corner in 4th, passing Ryan Villopoto and team mate Mike Alessi but unable to even challenge Stewart.  Alessi eventually dropped back a few more places when the Redbull Honda riders and Kevin Windham charged through. Villopoto has picked up the speed, this week being able to keep up with Chad Reed and finally, for the first time this year, he didn’t stack it or fall over like he usually does. Bad luck for my Kawasaki fave, Tim Ferry, he was caught up in his heat race holeshot and got run over b a few riders, maybe he should relax and take it easy for the motocross season? Here’s the podium:

1. Stewart
2. Reed
3. Villopoto

And this week I didn’t do a video about the SX Lites reason being, I haven’t got the race yet. I might do a double race wrap up next week but don’t count on it! So I don’t even know the results!

Enjoy

Latest round of the supercross, it was the usual showdown of Reed and Stewart, too bad they never battled for the lead or which each other. Stewart takes the win, Reed does the impossible, coming from dead last to second in 20 laps, over taking Windham on the final lap and beating James Stewart’s best lap of the night by 2 seconds, he’s doing a good job of representing Australia.

250 Main:

1. Stewart
2. Reed
3. Windham

The supercross lites class is kinda exciting, bad luck though for champ Jason Lawrence, another bad round for him, having to go to the LCQ and not placing well in the main. My favourite Lites rider, Ryan Dungey had a good night, taking the heat race and the main. Team Pro Circuit Kawasaki had a good night, riders Ryan Morais and Jake Weimer placing 2nd and 1st in the their heat race and 2nd and 3rd in the main.

125cc Main

1. Dungey
2. Morais
3. Weimer
