DMXS Tonight
Get well, Rookie! We miss you at the races.
The noise you heard in Southern California was the collective sigh from
all the riders after putting Anaheim 1 in the record books. Even though
the normal hype was missing this year, there were plenty of frazzled
nerves to go around. During the track walk you could hear the
murmurings about the massive whoops and technical rhythm sections. They
asked for harder tracks, and it looks like Dirt Wurx was listening. The
good news for fans was that the top three came out of the first round
still tight in the points battle. They all showed the speed at one time
or another so let the games begin. The Lites class had its share of
drama with both the veterans and rookies. Ryan Villopoto picked right
up where he left off at Glen Helen in his debut SX race, but Alessi
struggled and Jason Lawrence failed to make the main. Langston knows
how to win a championship and showed his resolve with a 4th place
finish after an early crash. Nathan Ramsey had a rough night but you
know he will be in the chase all year long. Andrew Short had some
unfinished business after his disappointing season last year and showed
up with speed to spare. The first salvo of the season has been fired
and Phoenix is just three days away.
Roger Decoster has just about seen it all in this sport, but that does
little to diminish his drive to always improve. Roger has been pounding
out the laps on the test track right along RC to make sure the bike
setup is perfect. A lot of people don’t know that, but it’s just
another example of his dedication to the team. Roger had a scheduling
conflict last week, but he will join us tonight after his moto.
Watching a sidelined racer is a bit like seeing a caged bird. Sure they
are still pretty and can whistle a tune, but it’s not their natural
setting. Seeing our good friend, Troy Adams at Anaheim reminded of that
bird. Can you imagine seeing your meticulously prepared Pro-Circuit
bike sitting in the pits at the biggest race of the year and having to
watch the race from the stands? Riders wait their entire careers for a
ride like that and Troy will have to wait a little longer. He is making
great progress since snapping his femur several weeks ago at the
practice track. Troy will give us the latest on his recovery and when
we can expect to see him debut his dream ride. Steve Whitelock is the
sheriff in these here parts and if you don’t like it you can kiss his
ass. As the AMA honcho at the races, he has seen his share of the good,
the bad, and the ugly. Steve will catch us up on any new or proposed
rules that will impact this year and beyond. DMXS is all about
spreading the love and Nate Adams is the meat in our love sandwich
tonight. It’s time to get an update on the freestyle scene and see what
comps Nate will be at this year after recovering from a serious injury.
You might know Dennis Albrewczynski as his alter ego, Alphado on many
moto boards. Alph is a long time DMXS supporter and covers some local
racing and also contributes to several MX publications. Unfortunately,
his time tonight will be spent exposing the controversial Mini
SuperMoto Championship won buy Jason "Weege" Weigandt at The Lube.
Alphado will detail the events that he believes helped "steal" the
championship away from him. Of course, Weege will be on to rebuke, "Any
and all statements that try to diminish the championship or it’s
rightful winner." Jason added, "I’ll be at home polishing the 6-foot
trophy while Alph-Fade- Do rambles on." Don’t miss round one of this
cage match series.
Every Wednesday night at 9pm
