Awsome to see the Americans just having fun and enjoying ridding the sand. I think if they go into it with that atitude they will be fine.
Blake looks lose!!
Hopefully Blake will relax and just have fun. The kid has some serious speed, so I hoped he packed it in his luggage.
@CZMark thanks for the gift.I finally save up enough money to buy a bag of flour.
BAggett looking quite comfy in the sand right there. Searle looks good on the fo'fiddy. I noticed a while ago Mitch alwalys looks so happy when he's around BB. still wondering who's gonna get that last PC ride???
I think we are going to see a much different, much better Blake Baggett at this MXDN. Last year Blake went there with little confidence, after what was an up and down outdoor season. At times he was very fast but he lost the title and had reason to second guess himself.
This year he CLEARLY put it too, two former world champs in K-Roc and MM. He also held off a stacked Geico Honda team. I think Blake is there, licking his chops for a chance to show himself and his speed against not only the 250's, but the 450's as well. If they give Blake the customary small bore first gate pick, I predict he is going to beat ALOT of big bikes!
they shoulda hit glammis for a day or two before heading there
The AmeLicans don't need any stinkin' pLactice!!!

ruebe....i see that early 2day..lol sooo funny!!!
Im still a bit nervous about Bagget, personally. Everyone played nice this outdoor season and I think that was a big difference in the favor of Bagget. Little less nice and we pr'lly would of seen Eli or Barcia winning the title. I can see at least 1 non-usa team using that to their advantage. Regardless, Bagget is stronger this year and is an amazing rider. Go USA!
Tommy searle has ridden the arse out of his 250 this year; looks like the right time to switch. He was fast on the 450 at St jean last year , but he always does well at french tracks. I dont expect too much from him at lierop; its a horrible old bit of wasteland anyway. i think anstie will suprise everyone for one moto and crash out on the other. Jake Nichols the other Brit is nothing special; he rode for the Star gem Ktm squad this year and beat one of the Red Bull works guys and he still didnt get picked up, even though this is a recognised feeder team into the works team . tells you something. he is solid fit and tough but a 14 place guy in the de nations.
