AMA SUPERCROSS 2022

Rd. 4 Back to Anaheim

https://youtu.be/7Vhu3Z0rslo

4 races in, 4 different winners.  

They should give Roczen an award just for surviving as long as he has.
Not that most of his crashes are his to blame, but geez, wreck o rama.
One tuff guy right there.  
Tomac puts the backward motor on top, and seems to be coming on strong.  Anderson let the Roczen thing get to him. Webb needs to go back to whoever was training him last year.
As a side note, look who had 2 guys from their factory hanging around.......

Ever wonder where past champions go after the dance?

Well, seeing Malcom up there, one wondered what the onetime "Fastest Man on the Planet" was up to.

Out of it for almost a decade, he's married, 2 kids, playing golf, and seems to be just enjoying life. Not a lot noticed the intense burnout the guy put up with in the latter part of his career.

Looking around, low and behold, James has a podcast thing going, like, well, everyone else.

This one, number 5, of this year, kind of focuses on a wreck in the 250s. Most are calling a dirty pass on Christian Craig, the top runner in the 250 West series.  
James calls if different.

But, deeper than that, is a look behind the public image of a past champion, where it gets a bit more, I dunno, real.

These podcasts are new, started this year, and James shows, as a rider, he was a master.

A public personality, well, let's just say, if you watch all of them, you see a guy learning.

Thx for the link. I miss him and Chad’s rivalry. It’s nice to see Malcolm running third in the season, only 20 points back

The season is looking good. I thought Sexton was going to do better then he has.
 
Tomac is looking really good after the testing they did between Rd1 & 2.

We have Rd 8 in Arlington, TX this weekend. Which will be the second Triple Crown of the season.
