2015 AMA Supercross Thread

Yeah it was crazy how big that gap got, my girlfriend wanted to go grab a tshirt (her first supercross race) and I told her we could in between main events, and with like 5 laps to go I was like well we know who is winning this. I'm not sure if they televised the little kids race or not but they had like 15-20 6-10 yr olds on ktm 65s in between the first few heats and the last chance qualifiers and the crowd was going crazy because there was a battle going on for 1st and 2nd the entire race, more so then the 250/450 mains. Overall great night of racing, a lot of wrecks though! James Stewart was sitting in the crowd along with a couple others. Reed, and Dungy both gave away jerseys, goggles, and I think even a practice helmet. If I remember right I paid $45 for the seats, so I cant really complain. Next year I will defiantly try and get some closer seats and pit passes.

 

So who else plays on the RMfantasy?

 

Ha I tried figuring that out last night at the race, and the reception was so bad on my phone I said screw it! I'm not very lucky!

 

I got a couple buddies that play the RMfantasy. There are some really sweet prizes for top 10 winners. I've been playing in the motocrossfantasy.com league for the last 3 years, and done ok. No prizes as of yet!

 

Yeah it's cool when you do well. This year I have been in the top 50 but I dropped to 114 this week

 

Closer seats aren't always a good thing... Those seats that you had look about perfect to me! My wife prefers to sit closer to the track but I hate it because you can't see the opposite side of the track... And they're more expensive. I like to sit a little higher and enjoy the entire track. Just my .02

 

Whats everybody thinkin for Detroit? Orange on top podium again for 450 and 250??? I would really like to see Bogle give MM25 a run for the $. Just bought this toy for my nephew

 

I'm hoping for a J Mart upset in the 250 class. He probably has a fire lit under his seat from the Indy round.

Dungey will probably win again unless Canard gets a start in the top 5.

 

Agreed, JM6 has got to be on fire after missin Indy main. I think Seely will be up there in the 450's if he gets a good start too.

 

I've been rooting for the Red Riders Canard all year and Bogle for the Lites East and yes, I would love to see Bogle give Muscan some great competition but Muscan just looks a lot faster then Justin. I'd still be happy with Dungey claiming the championship though for the 450 class.

 

I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk in here since the races last night! It was a pretty brutal track, super bummed about Canard and Weimer going down, pretty sure Canard broke his arm. Plus the Bogle and Tomac upsets! That Gieco Honda team put it together out there for sure.

 

Canard and Weimer both have broken arms is what I read. The track didn't seem to flow real well though. A local from where I live qualified but didn't make the main. I guess he broke his foot in practice.

 

Well ill start it off! I didn't want to spoil report ******alert**** for anybody who hadn't watched it! But yeah talk about carnage!! Weimer looked beat up from being landed on! Man can Canard catch a break? Nopunintended. That guy is so accident prone and had been kicking butt this series. His twitter says he has another broken bone. How about Tomac jumping the quad to get past Dungey?!! With 5 laps left he had a 10 second lead on RD5. Then there was Peick who whisky throttled himself into oblivion, ouch. Anderson flipping over the bars and landing hard. I gotta go on a beer run. 250 comments later.

 

Excellent recap, I'm kicking myself for missing this one

 

I feel so bad for Trey!! Been rooting for him all year!! Kind of crazy how he went down and took out Jake the same way he broke his back.

 

Tomac has impressed me this season, but that jump into the corner for the lead was awesome.

 

Tomac HAS been on fire! He's had (2) 2nd's, (2) 3rd's and now (2) 1st's this series. He's been on the podium 50% of the time so far. I hope Trey and Weimer heal up quick. Bogle was really on his game tonight too.

Check out youtube, the 450 and 250 mains are up for re watching!

 

Damn, thank you, good night TW I'm gonna be busy for a bit

Update: The 250 final was sick, solid win for Bogle, would've been interesting if Musquin had a better start. Couldn't find a full 450 final but saw the highlights (I'll probably check tomorrow), great win by Tomac against Dungey. I agree it didn't look like the track flowed really well and a bunch of bad crashes. I got run over last year off the start of a race and I'll never not wear a chest protector, not worth the risk in my opinion.

 

Yup! Cant seem to catch a break. You could tell he wasn't happy..Thats a lot of stress on a rider when you get injured every season.

 

The tracks seem to be getting more and more gnarly to the point I'm beginning to question the safety of them. The past few rounds have seen riders going down hard with season ending injuries. Albertson, Roczen, Canard, Weimer, Peick. A brutal season so far. Dungey seems to be on cruise control at this point.

Oh and did anyone see that privateer in the 250 class short that triple and go over the bars? Roczen did the exact same only maybe slightly worse earlier this season and he didn't get bucked off the bike. That is the difference between a set of OE forks setup for a rider, and a set of factory works fork that cost more than a new 450.

And poor Peick. That whiskey throttle into the turn looked brutal. Hope he is ok.
