Weston Beach Race 2009

To give you some idea of the carnage at this years event check out the below vid.
Some riders were seriously injured during this crash and we wish them all a speedy recovery.
As you can see this race is seriously intense and without good visibility It quickly turns to disaster.

The future of this race may be in jeopardy as a result as it appears 2 major sponsors do not want to continue their involvement.

Electric Motocross/Enduro Bikes

2008-11-18T13:02:00.000-08:00

I honestly thought I was being lied too when someone mentioned that KTM are releasing an Electric Zero Emissions Enduro/Motocross bike but low and behold it's true.

As soon as I heard this i decided to do a little investigating and this is what I found.

http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2008/10/ktm-presents-electric-enduro.html

I have yet to see any video's of this KTM in motion but I also found an interesting company in California that already have something similar (albeit extremely ugly) on the market.

Heard this tune on Travis Pastrana's Nitro-Circus Lock and Load soundtrack.

Thought it was quality so decided to post it.

The video isn't actually the band... just a random montage someone had put together. Think it consists of Muse, Afi and a few others.

Supermoto

2008-10-29T14:01:00.000-07:00

Supermoto, or Supermotard is a mix of motocross and road racing. Races are usually held on road racing or go-kart tracks with a dirt section in the infield.

Most tracks are typically configured with roughly 70% tarmac and 30% dirt however dirt is not always required. The jumps vary in size and technicality but tend to be smaller than motocross and supercross jumps.

. The bikes used are frequently custom-created combinations of off-road motorcycles and road-racing rims/tires, known as 'supermotard' bikes.

Riders wear a combination of road race and offroad equipment, normally leathers and a motocross helmet and boots. Unlike normal motorcycle racing, the emphasis lies on slower short and twisty tracks, where rider skill matters far more than outright machine performance.
