2009 AMA Supercross

I can't justify shelling out money for Foxtel (they can package it anyway they want but it's still to bloody expensive) so i was mighty pleased to find some generous soul has been uploading the new series of the 2009 AMA Supercross series as it unfolds. So far the Anaheim 1 and Phoenix stages have been extremely entertaining and it still amazes me at the amount skill these riders possess.

The only problem i have now is deciding who i want to win the championship more, James Stewart or fellow countryman Chad Reed. Stewart has always been an amazing rider, a little ragged at times but no doubt a serious talent. But i've never been totally convinced Reed was of the same calibre of Stewart or Carmichael, until i saw him ride at last years Australian Super X series, a series he envisioned and created. Reed seems to be riding better than ever and i'll be shocked if he doesn't win the series again this year.

Scott 80 Series NoSweat Xi googles are the business!

I recently purchased a pair of the Scott 80 Series NoSweat Xi googles and i wished i got a pair sooner. The ventilation is brilliant! the foam that sits on you face is far superior than most, discouraging sweat to build up under it, which in turn eliminates that funky smell that gets engrain in most standard google foam.

Electric Dirt Bike

This is a bit freaky, i can see the point of developing electric dirt bikes with all the doomsday predictions on dwindling fuel supplies and this is a pretty decent first go at electric dirt bike. But it just seems odd to see a dude doing burn outs on something that sounds like cutlery being shredded. Although the horsepower and weight is impressive. I wonder as the power runs out, does it get slower and slower like remote control cars do.

Chad Reed signs on with Rockstar Makita Suzuki

There were rumours it was going to happen and now it's final. Chad Reed has signed on to ride a Suzuki. I've never been to big on the Suzuki's, but they sees to be impressing the dirt bike world with the new EFI RMZ-450. He's got big boots to fill as far as riding for the team Ricky Carmichael dominated in, but i have faith he'll give James Stewart a run for his money.

Apparently he'll be racing the Suzuki in the upcoming Australian 2008 supercross series, which will be great to see.
