Like every preseason, the top riders in 2024 Monster Energy Supercross said they’re feeling better than ever. This year’s theme? Riding technique.
WORDS: JASON WEIGANDT
For those living normal lives—as in those that didn’t become a professional racer in their teenaged years—the high school yearbook is the annual signpost of styles and trends. One book can sum up the generation of clothing and hair styles, plus predict an optimistic future with inspirational quotes. In this sport, we use the annual preseason team photoshoots and media events to mark what’s trendy and what’s to come. Not only the latest bikes, graphics, and gear, but the overall feeling of optimism, the same that marks any high school grad about to change the world.
Not all of it works out. But at least in this sport, we know what they’re working on. These days, at the outset of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross season, the current fashion is about form to create function.
