PrintThink everything is working out for Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Blake Baggett? Think again. Sure, he led, crashed, broke his visor and came from behind to win the race at High Point. But after the race? Disaster. He couldn't get his goggles off over that broken visor!

Forty years ago, Team Honda arrived on the American motocross circuit with a brand new motorcycle: the game-changing Elsinore CR250. Page 170.

hahaha it was hilarious watching him like this during the race, topped off an awesome ride by him. I knew Bagget's ride at Hangtown wasn't a fluke!
maybe he just invented the new style of visor wearing
Reminded me of Mike Metzger when he did Super Moto. Anyone remember that? I think he finally just went visorless, but wore it backwards for a while I guess to avoid any lift.
That was awesome to watch, along with his sick ride.
i c a new trend coming on.....great ride #57
I think it looks better then the 'baseball cap over the ears' trick!
He's sporting the Megatron look!
All I could think of was Beach Volleyball, and a dude named Karch Kiraly! I believe the great Ricky Johnson had a visor incident back in the day, and maybe pulled off so he wouldn't look like a spode!
The TV annoncers keep talking about Bagett's weight advantage over his teamates. Now they will be claiming he has an areodynamic advantage with his new down force visor. Next they will claim that he is blood doping if he keeps "droping the hammer" on the best riders in the world. That kid is a badass!
He looked like The Predator with the visor up like that....and rode like one too. Blake "THE PREDATOR" Baggett
Troy Lee's pissed cause he didn't think of it first... Everyone remember the fin...
Wasn't Dungey saying his visor issues contributed to his Moto 1 finish?
This may seem a little geekish but I think he looks like Jet Jaguar from the Godzilla flicks I watched when I was little. Google it. That dude was a badass. LOL
Ah! Blakes speed secrets now revealed. I will try that this weeked, hopefully it will work because I need all the help I can get. Maybe it will help me cut my lap times down to 5 minutes a lap. What ever your doing Blake, keep it up!!!!!!!! Watching that 2nd moto and just couldn't beleive how hard on the gas he was.
Wait till next weedend, the whole Gieco Team will be dong it. Wow Blake you little trend setter you. http://www.prospeedsecretsbyblake.com. Ok not a real link!!!!!!!!ha ha
I once made a medieval knight's helmet for a costume by turning a visor over on an old AXO helmet.
I think Blake did it better,,,,,,,
Blake looked like he was going to a big DORKOFF.I think he won it.
did he put it on that way? I don't see how it could get that way in a crash it would have to be turned around to face that way.i hav not seen the moto yet,4 motos 3 channels,two days.it's hard to see them all.
I think he did it for added "down force". First, MC with his BMX style, then Bubba with the Scrub, now Baggett with the visor... All in the name of staying low and getting the power back to the ground. Just saying'. He's getting that speed from somewhere.
I'm running mine that way for now on. I need all the help I can get!
I've raced my whole life, these guys have raced their whole lives, and no matter how fast or awesome you might be....the dreaded no visor look will make you look and feel like a squid.
Soulda took the SCOTTS off backwards, dummy lol, awsome ride bb57!!
All hail! ..... Pope Blake Bagget the 1st.

Hey jojo you immature a hole, why don't you keep your stupid comments to yourself
Hello !
If the visor was causing wind resistance just turn the helmet around..............
Duh !
D
jairtime .......
if we continue to see racist, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate comments
Going............going.............
You can tell by 1 of his stickers on his helmet that he has the eject system but apparently it malfunctioned with his visuur
I can see all the kids in canada now,.......visors all backwards & upside down...now all we need is baggy drawers,,,,,,err wait, wilsons got that down.
He didn't do it on purpose. I watched him crash.
im telling you i thought he was from a science fiction flick... it was awesome.
fro had all he could do to not crack up.
this is a classic and that kid rocks....
I loved his interview too..... I wait.... and then DROP THE HAMMER.......
Check it out our local fast kid Timmy Badour has been doing this for years and recently went to Loretta Lynns and rocked the TB70 Visor !!

He looked like a Lego Technic. Definitely a evil motobot sent to destroy all riders.
This seems like something that would happen to Deano rather than Bagget...It's the new dinosaur look. I was cracking up when he was trying to get his goggles off.
Go 15 !!
i know blake didnt put his visor like that, but a fast kid by where i live has been doing that for a few years, and personally, its the stupidest thing i have ever seen.......
