Millville Mashup: Crowd Pleaser

"When the horn blows, you better be ready to go."
- George Clinton

Kdub knows what's up. All eyes on him. National number 14. On a factory Honda. When the gate drops, he better be ready to rock. Kevin Windham rocked it.

In his first race back since the Supercross season, Windham grabbed the holeshot and led the first 450 moto at Millville for 7 laps, thrilling the Spring Creek crowd with his speed and style. But points leader Ryan Dungey (above in full attack mode) was the fastest man that Saturday on a Minnesota motocross track. GuyB has the goods at Vital MX.

Millville Modern: Excitement in the air


Here's a really cool GuyB photo from 450 moto 2 at Millville: Ryan Dungey leading Tommy Hahn, the newly-returned Kevin Windham and Mike Alessi, and the lead pack is so tight they're sharing airspace over this double jump.

High Point Low Point: Technical Foul


High Point was horrible for defending U.S. National 450cc motocross champion Chad Reed, starting with goggle problems in moto 1, and winding up with his front brake nearly wrapped around his forks in moto 2. When Reed arrived at the Pennsylvania circuit he was leading the title chase; now he sits in 4th, 31 points behind new red-plate-holder Ryan Dungey.

OK, show 'em how it's REALLY done, Ryan D!


Check out how the newly crowned 450cc indoor motocross champion rolls to the outdoor motocross races. Not only does Flyin' Ryan Dungey sport a target on his back... GuyB shows us the other side.

Show 'em how it's done, GuyB!


This is living, motocross style. When your company gives you a truck and a trailer and sends you out on the road to cover the national motocross championships... with your teenage son. Vital MX's top dog motojournalist Steve "GuyB" Giberson turned down the plane tickets to live the life of many dreamers. That he's taking his son along makes it that much sweeter. Have fun, guys!

Freestone Firestorm: Foreign Nationals


What's wrong with this picture? Well there's certainly nothing wrong with those beautiful ladies, especially Ms. Dream on the right. And if you work at Pro Circuit, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this shot of the 250cc winner's podium at the second round of the Lucas Oil AMA Pro National Motocross Championship (whew!) in Freestone, Texas (unless, of course, your name is Dean Wilson).

But some may have noticed that there are no Americans on the box. And while that may not be "wrong", especially considering the gutsy performances under grueling Texas-in-the-summer conditions put in by these French, South African and Canadian racers, it still seems kind of weird.

Another great pic by GuyB/Vital MX.

USGP 2010: Townley Trucking


New Zealand's Ben Townley administered a serious beatdown on the MX1 class in the second moto, passing both Tony Cairoli and Mike Alessi early on the first lap and then running away to win by almost 8 seconds or so. "Uptown's" Troy Lee/Lucas Oil Honda was the only other make to take a moto win away from the otherwise dominant KTMs. GuyB got it.

USGP 2010: Return of the Ryno!


Yes indeed, that Ryno. Ryan Hughes came out of retirement to race against the best in the world in the MX1 (450cc) class! Hughes looked pretty fast and very fit. He finished 17th in moto 1 but only completed 3 laps in the second; not sure what happened there. GuyB pic.

USGP 2010: Magic Marvin


Gotta give GuyB props for this great shot, and of course, "Wow!" goes to the motocross magician, Marvin Musquin, rocking the #1 plate on a nearly-flat factory KTM.

USGP 2010: Roczen Rocks


Germany's Ken Roczen scrubs with style on the Glen Helen circuit. The Suzuki rider finished 4th overall for the day and sits in second place in the championship standings. GuyB photo.

United States Grand Prix 2010: Mighty Musquin


There was some hot racing at Glen Helen for the return of World Championship motocross to the United States. Defending MX2 (250cc) Champ Marvin Musquin (1) of France stormed off to dominating wins in both motos. GuyB captured the world's best over at Vital MX.

Hangtown Hookup: Eli Tomac Wins!

Wow, this is a big deal. Absolute rookie (as in first-ever AMA national, indoors or out) Eli Tomac raced GEICO Powersports Factory Connection Honda to 3-1 finishes to grab the overall victory at the opening round of the American motocross championship series. (Action photo by Marty Mosley)

Congratulations Eli! Don't forget to ask her out before you leave that podium!

Go in peace, good men: Danny "Magoo" Chandler and Andrew "Sharkey" McFarlane

Peace, young brothers in motocross. You will be missed by many.

Racerhead has more on the tragically short lives of these great racers.

Vegas Swoosh: The Champ Represents


Check it out: Supercross champ Ryan Dungey's marketing team has effectively sold the soles of his feet as promotional space. Ryan rocks his (as yet) unobtainable Nike boots at press day in Lost Wages.

Vegas Finale: Weimer wears the (w)One


Jake Weimer's Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki KX250F caught sparkling in the Las Vegas pits, sporting the always-impressive numero uno (with a dash of regional seasoning).

Congratulations, Jake! And congrats to the whole Pro Circuit team for dominating 250cc supercross in 2010.

GuyB on the scene with great pics on Vital MX. Thanks Steve!

Ryan Dungey is the 2010 Supercross Champion


Big ups to Ryan Dungey for bringing it home in his rookie year on the 450cc racing bikes. I don't know what Roger DeCoster is saying to the new 2010 Monster Energy Supercross Series Champion in this amazing photo by GuyB of Vital MX, but you know Ryan is listening attentively. DeCoster and Dungey are a formidable combination of drive, determination, talent, experience and endurance, proven by this latest and most significant title.

Amazingly, this is Ryan's third professional championship in a row.
