RJ Says - Supercross Safety 2012
Anyone who saw what happened with Trey Canard and Ryan Morais at Dodger Stadium Saturday night knows that it was a horrendous crash. Nobody likes to see that. Unfortunately that’s part of our sport, and crashes do happen.
I’ve heard opinions from everybody about how it could have been prevented. What it comes down to is that two guys were trying to occupy the same space at the same time and wound up going down very hard. It was a scary crash - it affected a lot of people in addition to the two riders.
What I would like to talk about is how Feld Motorsports, the AMA, track personnel, and the Asterisk medical crew handled the whole situation.

Daniel Bodin injured in practice session before winter X-Games
Last year, Daniel left X-Games with 2 gold medals in snowmobile freestyle and best trick. He is one of the most respected athletes in the sport and one of the few that is able to hang it out on a sled and bike. He was injured in practice leading up to X-Games Saturday January 14 and sustained multiple fractures in his neck. Fortunately, the injuries have not damaged the spinal cord and Daniel says that he will be able to come back to a full recovery and be stronger than ever before.

Ski Jumps
The best thing about riding a motocross track is the elevation change. This gives you more dimensions to the track and allows you to “spice up” some obstacles. One of these obstacles is the ski jumps. Most of the time, you find these jumps right before a downhill and there is no real lip or [...]

Effective Braking for Faster Cornering
Everyone can go fast by hold the throttle pinned on the straights, but it’s when it comes time to slow down that separates the pros from the amateurs. Next time you are at your local track, watch the fast guys around the track; they are either on the gas or braking. Slower riders tend to [...]

Traversing Flat Corners
One of the great things about a worn down track is the help from ruts and berms. Sure they can make things difficult, but they essentially help us keep our speed up in the corners. Just like in NASCAR, the angled surface allows the bike to lean over and still find plenty of traction. However, [...]

Red Bull Teka KTM factory motocross rider Steffi Laier "Ready to Race" in 2011
When Steffi Laier, Red Bull Teka KTM factory rider and two-time Women's MX World Champion takes to the track in the pre-season MX races in Valence, France, this weekend it will be her first competitive ride for 2011. Steffi has been training hard on the bike since mid December and in Valence tests herself against a field of male riders.
At the French pre-season special, she faces off with a strong lineup of riders including those from the Nestaan JM Racing KTM squad led by Joel Roelants, Yentel Martens and young talents like 125 European champion Jordi Tixier of France and Austrian Pascal Rauchenecker. Also in the field are other KTM riders like British rider Nathan Parker (PROPPA-COM KTM and French riders Loïc Leonce (B G R KTM) and Loïc Larrieu (WOLFF KTM). But these and other top riders hold no fear for Steffi who his very well known for her toughness, skill and courage when attacking any MX track.

Another month has come and gone and its been no different event wise. It started off with me packing my bags and heading back to Dubai for another round of the Red Bull X-Fighters teasers tour. I had to do two media events over there but unfortunately, Due to the unrest in some of the other Arab countries we had to cancel the first show in Dubai. Our second one was in Abu Dhabi. We managed to do that one and it turned out to be really cool. The wind held out well for us and the spectators really enjoyed it. After that one I headed back home to get ready for my next event. It was the top Gear festival at Kyalami in JHB.

2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series - Toronto Preview
When the 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series kicked off, expectations were high … very high. After all, the 2011 series was one of the most exciting and variable seasons of premier class racing in the history of the sport, with multiple winners and points lead changes. The championship even came down to a three-way battle in the very last race.
So for 2012, most were hoping for somewhat of a repeat, and for a while it seemed that the likes of Ryan Villopoto, James Stewart, Ryan Dungey, Chad Reed, and Trey Canard might deliver the goods again. But then Canard got hurt in Los Angeles. Okay, not too much of a blow there, but Trey could very well have been a contender, having won three races in 2011. Other than that, for the first four races things were looking up, with four different winners in four rounds. Not bad.
Then along came the East Coast rounds and the main contenders began dropping like flies. First Reed went down in a violent crash during the Dallas main event. The ensuing injury may keep him off the bike for the remainder of the year (which is likely the reason that earlier this week TwoTwo Motorsports announced the signing of Ben Townley to compete in the 2012 AMA Pro Nationals).
Then a press release following the St. Louis round revealed that second in points, Dungey, had fractured his collarbone and undergone surgery in the week leading up to Daytona. Whether he returns to racing before the end of the indoor series or not, Dungey is basically out of the title hunt.
Then last week in Indianapolis, Stewart had his own blunder, falling just after the first turn of his heat race and getting run over by about four other riders. Not many details have been released as to his current condition, but he did not return to racing that night. No word yet on whether fans will be seeing him in action up in Canada.

RJ Says: 100% is Back!
100%… It is how I try to live my life.
In 1982, I got a phone call from a guy I knew at the races. His name was Drew Lien. The conversation went like this:
Drew: I dig your bull dog style and never give up attitude. I'm starting a company and would love to sponsor you. I can't pay you right now, but I will give you all the free product you can have.
Me: Whats it called?
Drew: 100%
Me: What will you sell?
Drew: Heat shields and numbers.
Me: I'm in...
A few months later, all the top racers ran 100%: Bailey, O'mara, Ward, Glover, Lechien, Kehoe, Holley, and the list goes on.
From that point on 100% has been my life motto. I am giving 100% in whatever I do. Truck racing, coaching, working or loving my family. Win or lose. Happy or sad.
If I am giving 100%, I can go to sleep KNOWING I have done my best.
Drew has past, but his dream lives on. He was a special person with a big dream. God Speed my friend.
HOW MUCH EFFORT DO YOU GIVE?
Ricky Johnson

2012 World MX GP - Mr. Giuseppe Luongo
The world motocross championships are unique. Different countries. Different languages. Different cultures. Different tracks. And it's history - it's where the sport of supercross & motocross as we know it in the USA came from.
The designation 'world motocross championship' was originated by the FIM (Federation Internationale Motocycliste) starting in 1947 with the biggest motocross race in the world - The Motocross of Nations. (The Motocross of Nations is a 'team' race, with countries competing against each other. That first 'Nations' race was held in Holland, and won by Great Britain.)
Coincidentally, the 2012 World MX GP series starts in the Holland, Easter Weekend, April 8 & 9. (The 2012 World MX GP schedule is here.)
The World Motocross Championships, and the MX of Nations is organized by Youthstream. And the President of Youthstream is Mr. Giuseppe Luongo.
Giuseppe started in the sport just like most of us - with a simple love & passion of motocross. Giuseppe achieved great professional status by organizing the legendary 1986 Motocross of Nations in Italy, won by the USA dream team - David Bailey, Ricky Johnson, & Johnny O'Mara - and managed by Roger De Coster.

Behind the scenes: Team USA for 2010 Motocross of Nations - together for the first time
I was back out at Pala Raceway for something very special. I had already been there for four days for the Finale of the 2010 AMA MX season and the Awards Banquet.
But, as I mentioned, this was something special - the first official get together of Team USA for the 2010 Motocross of Nations. Team Manager Roger De Coster, racers Ryan Dungey, Andrew Short, Trey Canard, and all the support staff needed for an effort like this.
Ryan Dungey, Roger De Coster, Trey Canard, Andrew Short and Mitch Payton
I felt very privileged to be invited to such an event. I soon came to realize that the most unique and moving part of the day was seeing the look of real happiness, the feeling of true honor, and the comraderie for each person involved, as 'The Team' came together for the first time. It was contagious. They seem to be a real 'team' already, working together well, and have great things to say about each other. Again, it was contagious!

When Vicki Golden turned pro in 2009, she went into the season open minded; she just wanted to see how she'd do in the Pros. It worked out pretty well for Vicki as she consistently finished in the top 4 in the first 5 rounds of the 2009 WMX season. After a season ending injury to Trey Canard, Geico Honda gave Vicki an opportunity to ride Trey's bike the remainder of the season of the Women's Motocross Series. It was a great experience as she finished 4th in Colorado, but her season ended prematurely as she injured herself in a practice session at Perris Raceway before the 6th round in Washougal.
In 2010 Vicki came back healthy and was picked up by Moto Concepts Yamaha. She wasn’t as consistent as she expected, but she did finish the season 4th overall points, with a 3rd place finish at the Pala Raceway National. In 2011 she will be running the #4 plate in the AMA Women's Motocross Series.

Vicki got back from Geneva, Switzerland a few weeks ago where she participated in a women’s supercross exhibition race with some pretty stiff competition.

Gladiator Games – Final Chapter
We say goodbye to the Gladiator Games with its 12th and final anniversary. Europe’s first and longest lasting freestyle motocross event is put into the books as one of the most successful events in the history of the sport. What’s more important is that it has brought riders together from around the world into a clash of continents. The energy in the arena has always been epic and the parties miraculous. The event may be at an end, but the friendships developed here will last a lifetime.

James Stewart Injury Update, courtesy JGR MX
Two time former AMA Supercross Champion, and former AMA Motocross Champion James Stewart will not race round 12 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship this Saturday at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, ON, Canada. UPDATED 4:46pm EASTERN TIME. (Quote from James directly below.)
James, who suffered a crash at last weekend’s event in Indianapolis has been thoroughly examined by his medical team and the determination has been made that he is not yet ready to return to racing.
"Unfortunately injury is a part of sports,” said team JGR MX owner Coy Gibbs. "The safety of our riders is our highest priority and we want James to have time to recover and not risk further injury by coming back too soon."
And from James, courtesy of Red Bull ...
It really hurts me to say this, but after spending the last couple of days under the observation of doctors and my family, it looks like it would be best for me to sit out this weekend’s race in Toronto. The fall at Indy was big but aside from the obvious, it aggravated a couple old injuries and I’ll need time to fully recover from that.
I know you haven’t heard a lot from me over the last few of days, but we’ve been working hard to see what I could and should do. I’ve tried to push through it to see where my limitations are. And unfortunately it looks like that I wouldn’t be able push myself at the pace needed to run with the guys out there. I’m sorry for that.
So at this point, there's no real time line for my return. But we’ll be working at it again next week to reevaluate my abilities for the race in Houston.
Trust me, this was a hard decision to make. And it really came down in the last few hours. After assessing myself again today, talking to my team, my sponsors and my family, it’s clear that I need to give myself the time to heal. So I just want to say thank you for supporting me. To my team, thanks guys and good luck this weekend to Davi; keep that podium streak alive! I’ll be back soon. To my sponsors, you guys are the best, I can’t say that enough. Thank you for the always sticking with me. And to my fans; man all you guys. I mean all you guys on Facebook with me, my Twitter followers, all you guys at the races or watching at home. Thank you for the love. You guys really are the greatest. I’m working so we can get back out there soon, win some more races and have a couple more dinners.
Thank you all,
- James Stewart #7

RJ Says - Speed or Consistency?
After the Anaheim II Supercross, it’s looking like a four man race for the coveted title of 2012 AMA Supercross Series Champion.
With everybody still healthy and strong, this is shaping up to be one of the most competitive years in Supercross ever. Most seasons in the past the title has come down to one or two guys - but right now there is a major the contrast in the consistency of Chad Reed and Ryan Dungey versus the brutal speed of Ryan Villopoto and James Stewart.

RJ Says: Phoenix Supercross 2012 thoughts, Los Angeles Supercross preview
First off, I want to congratulate KTM, Roger De Coster, and Ryan Dungey for KTM's first Supercross Class main event win. It's huge. I know of all the work they have done in the past few years in developing winning machines, teams, and more. Look at what they did with Stefan Everts and Pit Beirer in developing the 350 SX model - two world championships so far with Antonio Cairoli.
KTM in America has been working on the new 450 that Ryan races. It's a new effort, on a new bike. For Ryan Dungey, his win last Saturday in Phoenix goes a long way in many areas, but I feel the most important is that it adds confidence to the team and Ryan.

Honda Signs Three-Year Extension to Sponsor Daytona Supercross By Honda
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Honda has signed a three-year extension to remain as the title sponsor of the Daytona Supercross By Honda at Daytona International Speedway. In addition to the race entitlement, Honda will have display and hospitality rights for Daytona 200 Week At Daytona, including a large display presence on the “Honda Pad” outside the frontstretch area of the historic racing venue.
“Honda returns to the ‘World Center of Racing’ for the 21st straight season in 2012,” said DIS President Joie Chitwood III. “The Daytona Supercross By Honda is wildly popular with both fans and competitors, who battle each year for the coveted trophy. We’re thrilled for the extended partnership with Honda and the future opportunities it has in store for our fans.”
Nick de Wit Switching Summers
Nick de Wit is one of the most down to Earth riders that you will ever meet. He’s always motivated to go out and get a good ride and you will never see him slacking a job needed to be done. In 2004, he was the first FMX rider out of South Africa to compete in international competitions. Since then, he has been to many prestigious events from X-Games to Red Bull X-Fighters and ridden on locations that you only see on postcards. Nick has spent a bit of time back at home for the South African summer. We catch up with him as our 2011 season starts to get some high voltage.

2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series - Indianapolis Preview
Last weekend at the 2012 Daytona Supercross presented by Honda, not one, but two major upsets took place. Well, one actually occurred before the weekend, but it was easily the most significant upset of the two. While the rain that doused the famed Florida circuit certainly made for one very sloppy Supercross race, the mud was not what caused the biggest change in the premier class standings.
On the Friday before the race, a press release went out from KTM Motorsports announcing that Ryan Dungey had broken his collarbone while practicing more than a week earlier. While Dungey had been able to race (and finish second) the previous weekend in St. Louis, he apparently had already been injured and just gritted through the race. Dungey had been second in the points chase, just 13 points behind Ryan Villopoto. By dropping out of the series, James Stewart effectively inherited Dungey’s place in the standings.

DC Moto TF Day with Ryan Morais
Ryan Morais' goal for a 2010 West Coast Lites Supercross championship came to a screeching halt in just the 3rd round of the series, when another racer landed on the back on his bike, sending both riders crashing to the ground. This unfortunate crash would sideline Ryan for a few rounds, but he would eventually return to racing action in Seattle and finish the season 10th overall points. When the AMA Motocross Nationals came into around, Ryan was ready to get back to racing, but going into the second round he was once again out with an injury. Ryan has been busy the past few months, but is back and ready to set some new goals for the upcoming 2011 series. I spoke with Ryan about what he learned over the past year and his prospects for the new season.
Angela: Well Ryan, here we are just a few short weeks until the first Supercross race of the season; let's talk about sponsors and the bike?
Ryan: Yeah, DC Shoes stepped up recently and is sponsoring the entire Rockstar Energy Suzuki Team, so I am really excited to be a part of it. I have only been with this sponsor for a few days now and they're really taken care of the team. I'm with the same team as last year, Rockstar Energy Suzuki, with the same mechanic (Rene Zapata), and the same team manager, and owner, everything is pretty much the same, but Suzuki really is stepping up this year. Last year we were on a 2009 carburetor bike, so we were kind of behind the ball, but this year we are on the new 2011 fuel injected, the whole new chassis and everything, and Suzuki has really helped us out with factory support. Our bikes are pretty much in house bikes, running Shoei Suspension, so everything is looking great. Everyone has been doing a great job and the people at Yoshimura have been doing a lot of testing and getting our bikes dialed in, so I'm excited for Anaheim 1. Our bike should be one of the best ones out there, making things really competitive, and that is very cool.
