Twitch claims he wants to ride in Canada


Here is a video of freestyle motocrosser Twitch talking about what he has been up to since his injury. He had a bad crash and had 7 months of recovery in a wheelchair due to a shattered ankle and spinal cord problems. He claims he has now started to feel ready to pull off some tricks on jumps, but for now is just getting back into his comfort zone. The way he has been getting back into comfort is by riding in the hills of California. The hills is known to be a popular spot for motocrosser's in this time of the year, because they have rain which makes it easy for them to dig and carve jumps in the valley. He mentions about halfway through the video that he has gained an interest with going North of the boarder to Canada to ride some of the hills in the west. His friends recently told him that they were in Canada and that within one day they saw unlimited riding locations which have potential to be great. Stitch is nickname for Jeremy Stenberg, who was born in the year 1981 in California. He has always been known as a dare devil and a freestyle motocross rider, his nickname came from his tourettes syndrome. Twitch is laos involved with racing off road trucks with the Lucas Oil championship series. He appeared on MTV"s True Life in 2006. He has also placed top 2 in numerous x games over the past 10 years. Below is a picture of an example of what the Hills would like in California or Canada where he digs jumps out of. The jumps can send the rider up to 100 feet in distance.

Ryan Villopoto Wins Toronto SX

Ryan Villopoto is dominating the main events lately. Toronto SX seemed like an easy breeze of a race for Ryan on March 24th. The top 4 winner of the race were Kawasaki riders which the management of the Mike Williamson tuned bikes should be proud. A record-breaking crowd of 47 000 attendance piled into the Rogers Center in Toronto just north of the boarder. The day started early with practices on the surprisingly "rocky" dirt track. Villopoto was looking confident all throughout the night. His introduction following the national anthem done by the well-known guitarist "Slash" was phenomenal. Ryan Villopoto was sparked by the big crowd right from the beginning, which showed from his very fast start out of the gate in the main event. His holeshot was earned while Kawasaki rider Jake Weimer trailed him into the first rhythm section. The track stayed in good shape, with only a few big jumps forming avoidable ruts on the take-off. The second section after the finish line was giving most of the riders problems, the secions included a hump prior to a big triple jump. The hump was placed about 7 feet just before the take off of the triple, which forced the riders to have to focus on their timing of the jump to avoid serious casing. To watch Ryan Villopoto win the main event, check thie video out below:

Toronto spectators chose a great race to attend, although top riders James Stewart and Chad Reed were out with injuries. Chad Reed was nice enough to show his support for the Toronto fans and fly to the North to help commentate the race on the Speed channel. Chad Reed joined slash during the introductions to tell the fans how much he is impressive by the turn out and cheering. Congratulations to Ryan Villopoto for the win in the main event, and Justin Barcia for the win in the lites class.

Race Report: San Diego


Here we are! A video of the Sand Diego round 6 of the supercross series. Just like all the others these season, it was definitely an eventful one. The crowd was on their feet for a majority of the race because of the battle between Chad Reed #22 and Ryan Villopoto #1 until the final lap. James Stewart #7 still remains to be unconsistant out on the track. He went down hard again in the "woops" section and lost his leading spot. Although James "Bubba" Stewart is one of the fastest motocross racers on the planet, his inconsistancy is starting to become more obvious to other racers. Ryan Villipoto is dominating this year, he seems like a complete natural out there and his long hours of practice are showing. On another note, congratulations to Josh Hansen #100, he placed 5th place out there and is really starting to show an improvement after his infamous drug  and alcohol outrage in the past years. He is looking strong and confident out on the track! The stadium was also packed! With all this crazy competition going on in the circuit this year, fan are making sure they dont miss SX once it hits their city. Both races got off to super starts with holeshots from Dean Wilson and Brett Metcalfe on his Suzuki. Our predictions for the upcoming Dallas race in the Cowboys stadium on Saturday February 18th are Dean Wilson and Chad Reed.

Here is the results from the race for top 5 finishes in both classes:
