2012 Monster Energy Supercross Championship Kicks off This Saturday Night

Courtesy Feld Motor Sports: The 2012 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, season kicks off this Saturday at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif., with defending Supercross Class champion Ryan Villopoto staging a title defense against the world?s greatest riders. SPEED will broadcast the race live at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Villopoto, who rides for the Monster Energy Kawasaki team, made a statement at last year?s season opener by leading all 20 laps of the main event en route to his tenth career win. This year Villopoto will not only defend his title, he is trying to become only the sixth rider in history to win the season opener in back-to-back years.

?It?s a nice way to start out the season,? said Villopoto following last year?s season opener. ?Starting out this way makes things much easier. I hope I can start putting together some more wins and a championship this year.?

Villopoto didn?t waiver from his winning ways as he was crowned the sport?s biggest prize at the season finale at Las Vegas? Sam Boyd Stadium. In doing so, he became the 12th rider to win the season opener and the championship.

In last year?s Western Regional Supercross Lites Class main event, Monster Energy/Pro-Circuit/Kawasaki?s Josh Hansen opened the season with win after taking the lead on lap eight.

RJ Says: 1985 LA Coliseum Supercross video - part 1

Where supercross started - the fabled Los Angeles Coliseum in 1972. This video is from 1985 at the L. A. Coliseum Supercross.

This video is part 1 of 2. I wanted to get it up for you as quickly as possible. In this video, for better or worse, you'll see a lot of me (I'm number 5 on a Yamaha). But in the second video that's coming, you'll see a lot more of my friends in the race like David Bailey, Bob Hannah, Jeff Ward, Goat Breker, Broc Glover, Ron Lechien, Johnny O'Mara, and others.

I think in 1985, we ran two 'main events' at each supercross. Part of what you see here (if my memory is correct) is me winning the first 'main event'.

And stay tuned for the second video! Both videos have the fabled Peristyle uphill / downhill. And especially in the second video coming late next week, with guys like Jeff Ward, David Bailey, Bob Hannah, Broc Glover, Ron Lechien, Johnny O'Mara and myself - you'll see riders with about 33 AMA Supercross and Motocross titles combined!

Hope you enjoy the videos ...
