We start our preview and race coverage of the AMA National MX in Texas with "5 Things to Look for at the Freestone National Motocross" by Brian King
1. Another Competitive Race.
Ryan Dungey, Chad Reed, and Ryan Villopoto - all Supercross Champions, made the racing last Saturday at Hangtown incredibly exciting. Fan favorite Kevin Windham taking the holeshot only added to the frenzy of the 30,000+ fans on hand in Rancho Cordova. But they were not the only ones making it exciting. Brett Metcalfe, Davi Millsaps, and the return of the Crafty Frenchman Christophe Pourcel made the racing exciting all over the track. The race at Freestone should be no different.
Just in time for the US Grand Prix of Motocross at Glen Helen Raceway, Supercross.com, in conjunction with Youthstream, is giving away three "Season Passes" to watch the 2011 World Motocross Championship events. Season Passes include the ability to watch all the races live, including the Motocross of Nations later this year in France. You'll see below how you can potentially win a 'Season Pass'.

You can sign up now to watch individual races, or purchase a Season Pass. (Should you be chosen as one of the Season Pass winners, we will refund your money.)
With the Season Pass, you can watch World Motocross 24/7. All the races live. That includes Saturday's Qualifying and Studio programming, and of course the Grand Prix events on Sunday. Watch the US Motocross Grand Prix at Glen Helen live, and the Motocross of Nations live!
Here's how you can potentially 'win' one of the three giveaways. Below you'll see a photo of Max Nagl on the left, and Ben Townley at the right. It's from a press conference at the MX GP of Netherlands.

It was going to be a good idea. Key word being 'was'. It was going to be a good idea!
My idea was to show you what the truck racing series that I promote and race in is like. It's like Supercross, only on four wheels!
So, my plan was simple - I'd invite my good friend Lex out to the finale of the Traxxis TORC series in Las Vegas, we'd mount a camera on the hood of my race truck, and I'd show you just how rough the racing is. It would be me (a former 2 time AMA Supercross Champion) and Jeremy McGrath (best Supercross rider in history!) showing you supercross - on four wheels!

Here is the grand experiment - camera is mounted on my truck's hood. Ready to go. But not for long!

Dear sponsors, friends, and all of my fans;
Since my injury, I've been looking forward to the day that I could personally reach out and thank everyone for all of the love and support that you have shown me and my family through these tough times. I'm so blessed and moved by the constant caring that has been sent my way from each and everyone of you. So first and foremost - THANKS!
On March 5th, I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury during my practice session at the Daytona Supercross. The injury required me to be in a medical coma for almost 4 weeks and I am now in my 7th week of rehab at The Shepard Center in Atlanta. The injury has left me with several physical and cognitive deficits that with dedication and focus can be managed allowing me to live a full and prosperous life. I will continue my rehab through The Shepard Center / Pathways for another 4-5 weeks before I can return home. I'm excited for that time to come and to also see many of you again but for now I need to continue to focus on my rehab so that I can maximize my recovery.
