KROC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fishbuck - 1-6-2018 at 02:34 PM

Thanks for the heads up. Anahiem was my 1st supercross that I got to see live.
I had just arrived in CA with the United States Air Force and that was at the top of my list. The big time for sure. 1981. I was 21 and fresh out of the woods of Massaschusetts.
I hadn't yet given up my dream of being a motocross Pro.
I'm going to go to my storage and hug my bike today.

ehall - 1-6-2018 at 02:44 PM

1. Musquin
2. Tomac
3. Anderson
Kroc mid pack till he gets back to 100% and battles Musquin for the championship. Lol

fishbuck - 1-6-2018 at 04:49 PM

I try not to like Eli... but it's impossible.
Can't wait for Kenny to get back to full race trim. I love watching that kooky German ride. He let's it all hang out and then some.
Going to be good. Full bore motocross!

Note: Supercross is a subcatagory of motocross. (Superbowl of Motocross LA Coliseum 197?)

blackwolfmt - 1-6-2018 at 05:15 PM

Kroc was lookin real good in qualifying got 1st place even

o3dave - 1-6-2018 at 06:25 PM

Its great to have K Roc back for sure. I think this will be the year #21 Jason Anderson will be on fire. Hopefully its a good close points year.

TMW - 1-7-2018 at 11:02 AM

Tomac didn't last long.
Roczen is back and should start winning after a couple of races.
Musquin appears to be the one to beat.

"long as you keep holding that mike...." :lol:

I love that kid! stoked to see what Moogie will bring tonight!

TMW - 1-14-2018 at 09:23 PM

Now we have ET and MM set back. KR is probably the one to beat. There are a couple of rising stars that may put up a fight. I'm surprised that Cooper Webb is not doing better.

blackwolfmt - 1-15-2018 at 10:11 AM

Don't count out JA and team Husky if he stays healthy gonna be a force to reckon with. And 2 weeks in a row Barchia on the podium he's riden good

TMW - 1-15-2018 at 01:40 PM

Right, Anderson is an excellent rider.

willardguy - 1-15-2018 at 01:50 PM

HUGELY stoked to see Plessinger make the move from GNCC to SX and hit the top rung! :coolup:

del mar - 1-15-2018 at 02:02 PM

awesome two-fitty racing.....

blackwolfmt - 1-20-2018 at 04:36 PM

well just watched qualifying looks like all the injured are back for the triple crown in A2 and it looks to be great night of Supercross,,Go ET3 :bounce:

del mar - 1-20-2018 at 05:26 PM

fishbuck - 1-20-2018 at 11:24 PM

That was so good! I will definately be visting my storage tomorrow and dreaming. I hope he starts!

Be careful. That comment reminds me of the parking lot after a race. Everyone's a racer for a couple hours.

blackwolfmt - 1-21-2018 at 10:04 AM

That was fun too watch for sure my boy ET3 looks like he's ready to make a comeback,,Anderson rides like he is out for blood,, Seely is def a threat and MM and Kroc I don't know what to think :?:

TMW - 1-21-2018 at 10:08 AM

Last nights SX used a different format. I only saw parts of a couple of races but it appears they used a 3 race main event format. I didn't see any of the 3rd 450 main but I did record it so I'll have to look at it to see how it all came together and the results. It appears that KRoc didn't do as well as expected. I did see that ET was a 6 and 1 in the first two mains.

willardguy - 1-21-2018 at 11:58 AM

monster energy cup that payed points instead of cash....fun for the spectators, brutal for the riders :yes:

blackwolfmt - 1-21-2018 at 01:16 PM

That's the triple crown 2 more two go Atlanta and Minnesota

willardguy - 1-21-2018 at 02:02 PM

I don't know im on the fence, either you loved it or you hated it. I do know the riders are glad they only have to do it three times. 8 minute+1 main? split the difference and make it three 12 minute mains. oh well jmo. lets move on to AZ!

del mar - 1-21-2018 at 02:24 PM

too much emphasis on the start....and favors the riders that maybe aren't in the greatest of shape? yeah lets go to glendale

blackwolfmt - 1-21-2018 at 02:53 PM

Yeah some of the riders didn't care for the 3 mains but others who are in great shape didn't mind like Eli, and JA, by the time the LCQ was happening most of the amateurs were spent.

Jinete Viejo - 1-21-2018 at 03:49 PM

I went to A2 last night and really didn't care for the new format. It seemed like there was less time with action on the track and more time between motos with interviews and other BS. And when did a motocross with three motos become three main events?

blackwolfmt - 1-27-2018 at 04:22 PM

Kroc was lookin good in qualifying, And JA as usual was in ready set go mode :fire:

Go ET3

ehall - 1-28-2018 at 06:47 AM

Tomac rode well, no mistakes. Barcia was looking good again too. Only time will tell if Roczen will be able to regain the speed he had before the injury. Amazing recovery so far.

TMW - 1-28-2018 at 08:16 AM

Yes KR has come a long way in a year. Photo not for the faint of heart.

blackwolfmt - 1-28-2018 at 12:20 PM

Eli was Super stoked and now he is in 10th place in the points race
Even the 250 class was great racing gotta luv plessinger what a great kid

willardguy - 1-28-2018 at 12:37 PM

....7 laps into the main the power in Rosarito went off.......but it was sooo much better than last weeks triple crown nonsense.
and don't count out my man Chupacabre yet, just takes him a little while to get going

blackwolfmt - 2-3-2018 at 05:15 PM

Barcia was fastest in qualifying tight track tonight Comon ET3

KRoc's over aggressive pass on Webb has the boards lit up.....man its not like he was asking to have a trailer towed! :lol:

blackwolfmt - 2-11-2018 at 11:06 AM

Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen underwent an evaluation at the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit last night at round six of Monster Energy Supercross in San Diego and evaluations suggest he has suffered a fracture to the second metacarpal in his right hand, but he’ll get it looked at again on Monday to verify his condition, according to the team.

After going down in the first turn, Roczen was making a move on Cooper Webb in a corner when it looked like he somehow looped out. He and Webb both went down, with parts of Roczen getting sucked into Webb’s rear wheel and swingarm area.

Roczen got up holding his right hand and was eventually carted off the track by the Alpinestars Mobile Medical Unit.

We will provide an update as more information is known.

Bad news for Kroc fans

blackwolfmt - 2-16-2018 at 01:38 PM

UPDATE FEBRUARY 11TH 7:20 PM | Roczen posted images of his right arm, shoulder, and hand on Sunday evening, which all showed signs of road rash caused by contact with the spinning tire. In his caption for the post, Roczen confirmed that he will undergo a surgery on Friday to repair some of the damage and will know more about the injury soon.

On Saturday evening we spoke with Team Honda HRC and at that time, there were no plans to bring a fill-in rider to the vacant bike. Depending on the length of time that Roczen is out, this is a decision that we expect could change.

blackwolfmt - 2-17-2018 at 05:12 PM

Arlington TX tonight Eli had fastest qualifying :?:
