2024 Supercross Thread

Kenny hasn't been the same since his wrist injury in 2018 I think? I really liked when he rode with Suzuki.

 

Josh Hill crashed out of the season this weekend. Broken pelvis and dislocated hip. Bummer.

 

Ouch! I felt that just reading it.

 

Thats to bad, I really like the Hill bro's. Josh ruined his career when he fell from the sky trying to learn how to do a back flip, has not been the same sincce.

Warning, Graphic!!!

Oh that f'n leg! Warning next time!!

 

Sounds like Shimoda is OK after this weekend.

Rumors swirling that Lawrence will require shoulder surgery again. Nothing confirmed yet, though.

Update: Lawrence ok after all.

Update again: Shimoda posted a photo in crutches and a boot. That's enough internet reporting for today

 

He kills me on the Fantasy picks. Because he has shown speed and moves forward when he gets bad starts. So I think all he needs is a start and he's on the podium. And this weekend he just kind of stayed in that same general spot. I think he crossed lap 1 in 10th. Made it up to 6th. Which is decent, but I expected better.

 

He had it. Should have just held on or looped it out. One thing I don't ever have a desire to
learn on two wheels is a back flip. Leave back flipping for gymnastics.

Who's ready for the east coast boys?

I thought they banned Trey?

 

Whoops look way more tame, from what I've seen. Kind of weird that they just randomly decide to do that, as they switch coasts. I do agree, that maybe they have been a little too peaky (seeing as multiple riders get destroyed each night lol) but seems to be a drastic change (at least from the pic that I saw.)

I'm excited for the East 250 guys though. JMart and Jett should be the title favorites but you got at least 5 guys who can win.

 

I'm not familiar with Trey but he's fun to watch, smooth and fast ...

 

He retired probably 5 years ago. Former 250 east coast champ, was competitive on the big bikes but always seemed to find bad luck and injury. Was also known to be a bar banger and elite goon rider.

 

He's on Honda's staff now and tests for them etc.

 

I'm pretty sure they had a little press thing on him at A1 or Oakland, touching on his involvement with HRC. One of the first couple races this year at least, I can't quite remember at this point.

 

They may have. I didn't see it. But I just know that he was heavily involved in the testing for the team bikes and the new models for Honda (the '21 450 and '22 250f)

 

Reminder for everyone that today is an earlier race. Heats start at 5pm eastern.

 

Thanks, looking forward to it

 

I see a lot of 450 riders being shown the door at the end of the season if they don't pick up the pace. Specifically Bogle and Wilson. Getting a little scared for Roczen too.
