Motocross Mania

The Dirt Rider guys and gals walked the pits at Anaheim 1 in full force. Each of us snapping photos left and right with our high end expensive cameras as well as our cool mobile phones. There are apps these days that allow you to mess with saturation, clarity and different types of filters as well as give the photo an HDR or oldschool effect, all from that electronic device that sits in your pocket. Well, that just names a few of the features that we were playing with. Here is a gallery strictly shot from our iPhones at the first round of Supercross.

Okay, kiddos. Anaheim is on the books and there’s plenty to talk about, for sure. How many of you lost the office pool by betting on someone other than Ryan Villopoto this past weekend? Well, there’s lots more racing to go, but first, here’s a little bit about A1, new testing, retirements and freebees. Get ready for the Dirt.

January 8th, 2012: Rest Day
While I’m certainly glad I got a lot of rest and had a day off it is definitely strange to have a day in the middle of this event where I don’t ride my bike. I am in such a schedule of eating, dressing, riding, eating, sleeping, etc. that having a day where I just throw out the biggest activity of my day and replace it with “resting” threw me a little. The biggest thing that affects me, I think, is that when I’m riding, I’m perfectly fine—I know that I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing and I’m having fun. But when I’m not riding, I’m sort of dreading getting back on the bike. It’s definitely threw me out of my rhythm.

January 3rd, 2012: Dakar Stage 3
Ned didn’t have cell or satellite phone coverage at the end of day three so this update is from Ned’s call in after day four. Day three was, in some ways, very similar to the fourth stage in that we did a lot riverbeds and some canyons (although it was dry all day).
