I used to be in a lot more but I plan on going to see it in person this month when they come to Indy.

Where is the best place to sit?

I'd say somewhere you can see the whoop sections or the first turn after the wholeshot. That's where I am sitting at SD supercross and the Las Vegas supercross.

I love it! I raced MX back in the 80's but since I'm old I've gotten into pitbikes. The small bikes aren't too fast and it give me a built in reason to go slow. Since I live in the MX capitol of the world, I've met a lot of the top pro and amaetur racers so I follow it closely. I can't wait till Atlanta. Got my tickets in the mail last week.

Good point but I think he will be better than R.C. R.C. was so good that he stopped racing cause he had done everything possible in racing. Almost like T.P., he did SX and freestyle and dominated it all. Now he is racing rally cars I believe.

I hear there taking TP's Nitro Circus and making it a show on MTV...Should be pretty good

RC was and always will be the greatest of all time.

Bubba is fast for sure, but he could never take a title from RC head to head. I think he had 4 chances when neither of them were injured and both were racing the full season. (2 x SX, 2 x MX).

Man, I would love to see RC come back for a few selected events during the outdoor MX season. No doubt he would be a threat to win, especially as Stewart and Reed (Windham, too) have in-door only contracts. Villopoto is probably one of the only outdoor riders in '09 who could run with RC, even though RC is years past his prime.


As for Georgia being the MX/SX capitol of the world, that's a new one! Just because Daisy Mudflaps and Exra Lusk are from GA don't make it the capital!

I mean years past his prime as in years past his 'perfect season' form, when no one could hardly lead a lap against him in 24 motos.

I absolutely agree RC would still win titles if he was motivated to put in the work. He left on top, after giving JBS multiple chances to dethrone him. Nothing left to prove.

That would be nice to see Windham, JBS and the others ride outdoors. It will be fun whoever shows up. Short is strong, too. I love me some outdooor Nationals.

Dude coming up with Mcgrath blasting everyone I really became a fan of MX. Now days i love riding bikes but it rains here so much and the terrain is hell. If I end up moving out west to change carreers I will have another bike and quad for sure.
