Hey Two Stroke Lovers this is well worth the watch

This bike is racing and might win the Two Stroke World Championships at Glen Helen tomorrow! Go Mike Sleeter!

Check out this two stroke style from DV934 and check out his blog, click here

Listen to that ridiculously cool sound, I am a bit of fan for nostalgia, but I still really enjoy watching pro's ride these bikes so much more than the new four strokes, ah the 90's who knew they were so good.

Glen Helen Out as AMA National Venue

OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
GLEN HELEN DROPS OUT OF AMA NATIONALS

Glen Helen Raceway regretfully announces that it will not host Round two of AMA 250/450 Nationals on May 29, 2010.

There has been long negotiations between MX Sports and Glen Helen Raceway in regards to the event. As a previous host of more than 14 AMA Nationals and three GP’s over the last 20 years, Glen Helen has proven to be a world class venue (and so do the fans who have flooded the gates in large numbers over the years).
From the beginning of the most recent contract negotiations, Glen Helen has asked for the same contractual terms as other tracks on the National circuit received in 2010. Due to the lack of equality in the terms, Glen Helen is unable to move forward with a National at this time.

The National Promoter’s Group (NPG) was formed 15 years ago to set the standard for motocross in America. As a charter member, Glen Helen has stood together with the other promoters for the entire 15-year period. We feel that our contributions to the promotion of the sport were integral to the progress that has been made in motocross.

Glen Helen supports all the teams, riders, sponsors and other National promoters 100 percent and we are sorry that the fans who planned to come to Glen Helen to see “Real Motocross” will not get the chance to do it this year.

Glen Helen will still be hosting events every weekend and will give fans, riders and sponsors a venue that they can be proud to be part of. We have a pre-National event on May 16, 2010 with the MTA World MX Championships, which will give fans a first look at the outdoor teams for 2010. A large Pro purse will be included. More details to follow.

Could this product make Motocross Safer?

I hope Dainese makes a version of this for Motocross, especially for Vets and weekend warriors, they aren't getting paid to ride and should be safe as possible. Great product from a great company.

Until the Dainese D-Air or Alpinestars airbag suit reach the market, we're guessing the Dainese Jacket Wave Pro (combined with a leather jacket or suit) is the safest you can practically and comfortably make your upper body on the road. Combining protection for the neck, chest and shoulder blades with the usual elbow/shoulder/back stuff is what makes this system special, but the aluminum honeycomb-core armor doesn't hurt either.

New Motocross TV Show - Bubba's World

Thanks Fuel TV for supporting the sports of motocross and supercross, my prior opinion of Fuel TV was primarily a skateboarding, snowboarding, sprinkled in with some surfing and motocross (really FMX) channel. While I appreciate these sports and have participated in a few of them as well, I am not a devoted fan like I am to the sports of MX and SX. So finally some new SX content and from what it looks like they are going in the direction of what fans want, a glimpse into the inside of the sport and a riders life. This glimpse is why things like twitter, mx forums, and Pulpmx are so popular, fans are hungry for info or a peek behind the scenes. This new show is about none other than JS7 "James Bubba Stewart". Stewart is one of the biggest stars of Supercross (and I say that specifically because he doesn't currently participate in Motocross) James is and will be an iconic athlete for the sport first for his incredible speed on the track, this type of speed sets the bar in the sport and leaves all the other riders scratching their heads trying to figure out how he does it, additionally he is the first african american to have championship level success in the sport. Importantly he has mainstream crossover potential, he is a natural with the crowd, the camera's, and the media, he has huge marketing potential (he is currently a Nike 6.0 athlete), straight up his smile sells, he is a real star. He likes riding fast motorcycles, driving fast cars, and having fun, should be an interesting watch. See press release for more viewing details.

Press Release from Fuel TV's website:

LOS ANGELES, CA - FUEL TV, the only network dedicated to the lifestyle of action sports, is proud to announce the groundbreaking new series “Bubba’s World” presented by Geico, premiering on Sunday, March 28, at 10:00pm ET/PT. In an unprecedented move, the premiere will be simulcast on FUEL TV, FOX Sports Net, SPEED, Fox College Sports and Fox Reality Channel, reaching more than 85 million households domestically.

“Bubba’s World” is a 10-episode docu-series that provides exclusive access into the daily life of America’s number-one motocross racer, James “Bubba” Stewart. At age 24, Stewart is the highest paid rider, earning more than $10 million a year, and a pioneer as the sport’s first African American superstar. In 2008, Stewart completed a perfect outdoor national motocross season: 24 wins in 24 races. He followed that up by winning a hard-fought Supercross Championship in 2009.

“This is really exciting for FUEL TV because it’s the first original series we’ve created around a single athlete,” says Shon Tomlin, FUEL TV SVP of Programming and Marketing, and series’ Executive Producer. “We believe that James’ personality, his story, and his celebrity status in the motocross world make him the perfect subject for a television series.”

In a unique programming stunt, “Bubba’s World” presented by Geico will premiere on Sunday night, March 28, at 10:00pm ET/PT across five cable channels including FUEL TV, FOX Sports Net, SPEED, Fox College Sports, and Fox Reality Channel, then remaining episodes will air exclusively on FUEL TV Sunday nights at 9:00pm ET/PT.

“James Stewart has an appeal that reaches far beyond the traditional action sports world,” says CJ Olivares, FUEL TV General Manager. “We really love this show and wanted to share it to the biggest audience possible, and maximize the reach of our sister networks. We’re excited to be doing this for the first time ever.”

James Stewart’s sponsors include Red Bull, Yamaha, San Manuel, Answer, Oakley, Nike 6.0, Bell Helmets, Alpinestars, JS Entertainment, L&M Racing and MX vs ATV: Reflex.
