supercross

[Mayhem Eng.]

The season starts tonight, who are you pulling for?

Here are my picks
Ryan Dungey or Ryan Villopoto It would be huge if Kevin Windham could pull off some good results.

[slowngreen]

Supercross is my most favorite thing to watch ever! Im going for who ever is willing to push it. If Kdub could do it, I would be so happy but I'll be happy to see him in the top 5 and staying healthy. Im not going to be suprised if Stewart is our leader as long as him and Reed can stay away from each other.

Don't see a listing on Direct TV... what channel is it on?


Looks like SPEED... Nevermind

Spped at 9 till midnight here in Oklahoma

[Mayhem Eng.]

Speed at 7:00 here in Calif.

Damn... going to the wife's Boss's house for a party at 7... I need a DVR!

[slowngreen]

I dropped my cable a few months ago so this will be the first year in many many years that Im not watching it on tv but I googled the live feed and am hoping I cant watch it on my computer live instead.

[racerx]

maybe i can watch it on the droid in the crapper at the party!

[Rokpile]

I gotta stick with my home town boy Ryan Villipato, hope he stays healthy. I just wish he was on a Honda

[DeaDShorT]

Looking for a solid year out of Villipoto (hopefully he stays healthy), Canard (1st year in the premiere class) and Colorado boy Short on the new KTM's. Almost expecting lots of drama from the big 3 (Stewart/Reed/Dungey), I see those 3 spending lots of time banging into eachother and picking themselves up off the ground.

Couldnt agree more. More than likely will be extremely suspensful until someone gets taken out.

Bubba's world and Super Cross from 6:30 to Mid Night. Gonna be good. I gotta pull for my boy Stewart. The only one to beat RC heads up, and I've been a huge fan always.

Watching some of the pre-race/preview stuff a week or so ago, it sounds like Bubba doesn't consider Reed any sort of challenger/contender.

To me, although I might be proven wrong once the race starts, but thats how I feel about Dungey. I dont think he's much of a threat head to head with Stewart. I think if they all were to get a good start and if Stewart "had" to put on his game face, he could pretty quickly leave them all.
Remember when Reed and Stewart for all them races were going head to head until James got tired of messing with Reeds head then he would just buckle down and leave. As long as he can stay away from any drama early in the season, I think it might be his....
Obviously Im calling it way early, but thats just my pre-game thinking


And Windham will be cruising right behind all the drama just waiting to pass who ever gets in his way. Nice and casually, staying competitive but safe so he can finish out till he retires without being knocked out of the season. Which Im cool with, Id rather see him take 3-5th each race and actually beable to be in all the races. Id like to see Millsap up there too though.

I think the last season or so has messed up Bubba's head, he can't keep it together through the challenges he's had, his confidence is shook big time and he, for the 1st time as a pro competitor, is listening to the doubters and critics that are saying he can't do it. Of course it could all just be ammo for him, and when he drops the hammer and laps the field I'll eat these words and admit he is one of the best in the sport.

Millsaps needs a very good to great season to stay in the Honda camp...newcomers to the premiere class like Canard and some of the lites riders will be looking for their opportunity to fill that spot.

Windam defines consistency and smooth, everyone else looks like they're going warp 9 with their herk and jerk riding styles while K-DUB just flows with the bike and track, he is poetry in motion.

I saw K dub get the win live here in Houston last year! I was really happy. I do like Stewart, but Reed is a tool.

[kasper]

OOPS sorry started a second post on this same gig supercross is like the toughest racing out there in my opionion sorry for making a second thread on this in the chit chat forum

[slowngreen]

Im still trying to find out for sure if Im going to beable to watch it live via the internet. Ive found a few places that are live steams of Speed, or so they say, but it never loads any thing, just keeps saying stay tuned. Any of you gonna record it to dvd each time or atleast have the ability to do so? Id gladly provide dvd's if so.
