I know a couple people that went to Nashville for the races last year, said it was pretty awesome. 3 Nights on music row with supercross slapped in the middle of it, would take a few days to recover from that lol.

That's awesome! Last event i went to was Salt Lake City back in 09. Reed and Stewart battle royal days. Hope you get great seats...lucky lucky:beer:

Yes we got awesome seats! Center field, 13 rows up :d !

I can't remember who won that race in Minneapolis as I was only 10 or 11 then. I will never forget a few things on that trip though. We went to the metrodome Friday night before the event and walked right in. We sat and watched for an hour, all the equipment hauling in the dirt and building the track. Stadium was empty, nobody kicked us out haha. Also that Friday night we went to Bob's Cycle where I got to meet and get autographs from guys like Jeremy McGrath, Mike Larocco, Kevin Windham, and like 16 year old Travis Pastrana.

Our last trip to nashville was last year with 3 other couples for 4 nights on music row...that took a week to recover I think! Can't wait to go back next fall!

I went to Nashville last year for SX, super cool place and perfect atmosphere for racing. Could walk right to the stadium from Downtown.

Ya I thought it was a pretty good race, should be a good season. I agree Reed should retire before he racks himself up good. What happened to Ralph?

Funny most people on the motocross forum hate Ralph and love the new guy. I think its only for the first few rounds though and then Ralph will be back.

i guess it could be a way to make ama more appealing to the rest of the world having a brit announce? I'm a huge Emig fan. Personally i think the should have all ex pro's behind the mic. Id love to hear Damon Bradshaw or even Mcgrath chime in on the new talent.

Hang’em up reed lol! Make room for the young guys

this a tough one for me. I have always been a huge Reed fan, dude has skills even at 37 yrs old he can still hang with the young kids. I think he will be on a few podiums this season but agree he should retire while still on top as one of the greatest. Going private is costing him a fair chunk of his own coin, some sponsors yes, but aint no fancy factory ride. He must still think he has what it takes to be top 5 or else he wouldn't have wasted the money invested into this season...IMO. But...make room for the young guys? Nah man, young guys gotta be able to bang bars with him and prove they be there more then him. Mcgrath was done at 32 The Goat at 26 with a few races here and there. I say he still pretty fast at 37 but if he crashes out....they aint gonna be no bouncing back up and finish, his days will be done. Can't wait till the next race. I'm gonna take for podium pie in St Louis.

1- Cianciarulo
2- Roczen
3- Tomac

If the young guys can't beat Reed and qualify for the main event then they don't deserve to be there. He isn't taking any potential ride away from an up and comer, once he is retired I would assume the team with be gone with him.

Hopefully Roczen has a better ride. Wish Wilson was healthy, we was flying at the Monster Cup before his crash. Crazy he was able to even line up for A1. Could be a good season with the amount of people who could potentially win a race.

And I wish the whoops would hold up for the main event, might as well add a rhythm section since they just end up jumping through them by the time the main even rolls around.

agreed, St Louis looks a lil more tech and hopefully they don't use as much sand in the whoops...that's cheating haha

A2 wow tough track, love the challenge it threw at the pros. I feel so bad for Jett Lawrence would have been nice to see him get the win what a ride sucks that he crashed out and broke his collar bone. Good on Tomac he was fast for sure, I felt in the 450's after the first 1/3rd of the race guys chose to play it safe. Gotta bring up the Reed thing again, 3 races, 3 LCQ's I don't know.
