No racing this coming weekend, but the first-ever racing action in the Meadowlands on the weekend of April 26 will be quite the spectacle. How so? I need only say this- motocross racing in the greater New York City area. It may not be IN New York City, but a very huge New Jersey area facility will give some life to the Big Apple.

I am very much a James "Bubba" Stewart fan, but I totally respect Ryan Villopoto and the beast run he's had the past few years. I also like Justin Barcia (or "Bam Bam").

I would like to see Ryan Dungey pick up the intensity in the main events. He's a very laid back rider but unfortunately you can't always play the consistency game in Supercross.

Thats what makes Supercross awesome, its Gladiatory setup. Had James ran and pucked up his bike quickly like Ryan V. Did & does we could be going to watch James fight Ryan for the Championship, instead of just another hopeful race win., Atleast his brother is coming up.

Topics:
Honda - is still the only bike without a good rider - Maybe Malcolm is the one? Honda has been waiting for awhile now,.

KTM - has 2 good riders already so where will Jason Anderson go? Private Team? Switch bikes? 1 more year of lites? Even do Dungey & Roczen still will be good by then.

Kawaski - what the hell happen to Weimer? I guess Dean Wilson is taking his spot next year. My girl thinks he is gay, and I'm not sure either, lol'

Suzuki - could use 2nd rider but mo 1 races Suzuki's in the 250 Class. There are literally no Suzuki 250's. So i guess a rider has to change over coming up from the 250 class? If so then Malcolm should ride with his brother if Steward is going to stick around for 1 more year since he is doing well?

Yamaha - once again could use a 2nd rider? Cooper Webb maybe?

The red plate belongs on a Honda. But that's just me being a fanboy. I hope they can pick up a 'fast' rider. I believe Barcia has potential but seems to have lost some intensity. Trey Canard just came back from injury and is looking really good for his situation. Plus Trey is one of the nicest riders you will ever meet.

Meet Trey at Ocotillo Wells, he can jump over 140ft on command. Im a Honda Rider myself (Dirt CR250 & Shifter Kart CR125) and a Honda fan too but Honda at the moment doesn't have 2 front riders yet. There has been so many Honda riders I want to say its the bike at this point, but I'm hopefully for Malcolm if he stays on the Honda.

Wow, I didn't know that Bubba Stewart finished 2nd in Seattle. Did you guys see James jump & case the quad jump? 👍

It's almost like Villopoto is so used to winning it's nothing special to him anymore... Have to give it up to him though after two frustrating years in the 450s then coming back to win 4 straight titles is quite the achievement.

I knew Ryan was going to dominate the 450cc class, once i saw him racing in the 250's. I wanted Bubba & Ryan on the same bike (Kawasaki), but money talks so James walked.

I'm going to watch NJ tonight when I get home, I hope its worth all the hype? Seems to me its just another
Football stadium but we'll see,

I'm going to the Vegas Rd this weekend so that's exciting!

Damon bradshaw!!

Im a bit oldschool love 2 strokes wish you would see more riders on them. It was cool when the 4 strokes started to faze in into sx/mx there where riders on 2's and 4's on track. Now the 2stroke is dead in pro ama.

 

[joetruckv8]

I'm in Vegas now!, I'm getting ready to head over to Sam Byod Stadium at the moment. I hope James is racing today and his knee was a minor twitch. I pretty much drove out here to see him fly, well and the 250cc West & East battle it out! I fell the West has the better riders so we'll see what's up without Adam C. to compare to the bunch,.

 

[Spirit]

I'm absolutely in love with Bogle's East/West getup. Red plate with the gold wheels, fantastic!

Not likely considering that even a 250f is faster than a 250 2t

Not necessarily, in Australia the 250f's and 250 2 strokes race in the same class, and in the last round of the nationals the top 3 spots were all 2 strokes. I can't really see them making a comeback in the US, factorys aren't going to be pushing for their riders to be on 2 strokes, especially when Honda/Kawi/Suzuki don't even make a 250 2 stroke anymore.

Went to the race and wow Las Vegas rocks! I will update photos,. Malcolm's crash scared the 🤬 out of me!

I raced the Honda CR250R, it's the butterfly lifters when your full throttle plus no compression stroke!
