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.

These boots were made for winning: Dungey's Nikes

Rocking these red Nike motocross boots, Ryan Dungey romped all over the Nation's best 450cc riders at the Texas round of the LOAPMC. Coolpic by GuyB.

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.

Is Supercross Over? Don't be ridiculous...

All photos from GuyB's great Seattle coverage at Vital MX

Sure, the Big Title is wrapped up with two rounds remaining, but that doesn't mean this series is finished with putting on an exciting show of indoor motocross racing by some of the fastest motorcycle riders on the planet.

One of those guys, beyond any question, is Nick Wey, national number 27. Nick was a Team Green amateur champion back in the day, so it's really cool to see him get a chance back on Team Kawasaki.



Kevin Windham is also, without a doubt, one of the best motorcycle riders in the world. His ability to precisely control his bike and his savvy race craft are well-established and on top of that he's just fun to watch. 2010 has been a great year for Windham, and there are two more chances to see how he finishes this season.


Though still recovering from his injury, the outgoing Supercross champion showed up to sign autographs at Seattle. Two more rounds means two more opportunities for fans to meet James Stewart and share some kind words.

So even though the 2010 Monster Energy Supercross Series was remarkable in that on-track injuries sidelined the defending champion, the past champion AND one of the two-most-likely-to-become champions, resulting in the National Championship being suddenly decided by default with three races to go, when these guys hit the track next Saturday night there will be fast times to set, heat races to run and main events to win. Those that can race will be there. I think supercross fans will be there too.

St. Louis Blues: The Drummer gets it all

This shot doesn't quite tell the whole story of a momentous night in St. Louis for the racers of the MESS, nor does it quite tell the whole story of this unpredictable supercross season, but it certainly nails the ending: Ryan Dungey is the 2010 Supercross Champion. Congratulations Ryan!

And get well soon, Ryan Villopoto. Yes, the tale of two Ryans came to a dramatic end last night, with Villopoto carried off the field of battle with a broken leg. Here's the story from GuyB.

Houston Rockets: 5 on the floor

Ryan Dungey is having an amazing rookie year in the 450 cc Supercross class, especially considering that out of the 13 races run so far, his 5th place effort in Houston was his worst finish of the year! Unfortunately for Ryan D, his championship rival, Ryan Villopoto, took the win and made up a bunch of ground in the points. The tale of two Ryans continues...

Christophe Pourcel is the first Supercross Champion of 2010

Congratulations to Pourcel and the Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki squad for defending their 250cc East region title. The champ went wire-to-wire in Houston to win his fifth race of the eight-race season, clinching the crown with one round remaining.

One down, one to go Christophe?
