MXON

I took a lot of pictures at the MXON at Red Bud.  Here are my shots from Friday and Saturday.  I attended the MXON Experience Dinner Friday night and had an amazing time!  I was seated at Ryan Dungey's table.  What a great event and for such a good cause!  Over $150K was raised for Road2Recovery and Alpine Stars Medical Unit. A big thank you to Rob Buydos, Jeff Stanton and everyone else involved is organizing that dinner.  I would also like to thank the riders that took part and joined the fans that attended and spent time bench racing.

A list of the riders include: Jeff Stanton, Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto, Jeff Ward, Travis Pastrana, Kevin Windham, Jeff Emig, Mike LaRocco, Damon Bradshaw, Tim Ferry, Rick Johnson, Doug Henry, David Bailey, Chuck Sun, Donnie Hansen, Danny LaPorte, Brad Lackey, Gary Semics, Mike Hartwig, Dick Robbins, Mark Blackwell, Broc Glover, Johnny O'Mara, Ron Lechien, Ryan Hughes, Trey Canard, Jeremy McGrath, Ivan Tedesco, John Dowd and Gary Jones

Check out the shots HERE!

Aaron Plessinger's mechanic taking care of some things before practice and the qualifying races on Saturday.

Team Brazil's Enzo Lopes pitted under the Suzuki tent and JGR rig.  Many of the European teams shared rigs from the US Factory teams.

Max Nagl's Factory TM450.

The centerpiece at my table.  Each table was identified with one of these with the corresponding rider of each.  Some were lucky enough to take these home with them and others were collected by the even producers.

Rob Buydos talking to the King of Supercross, Jeremy McGrath at the MXoN Experience Dinner

Travis Pastrana and Kevin Windham talking about their decision to ride for Team Puerto Rico and the fund raising efforts they put on for this event.  

Ryan Dungey and Ryan Villopoto talking about their rivalry while they were racing and Im sure Rob Buydos was stirring the pot to get them going.

Team USA, Justin Barcia, Aaron Plessinger, and Eli Tomac stopped by the MXON Experience Dinner to say hello and take a few photos with fans

Unadilla 2018 Gallery

I finally had enough free time to go through all of my photos from Unadilla and get them uploaded.  The track was in great shape in the morning for the practices and Ken Roczen, Justin Barcia and Austin Forkner were throwing some nice whips!  Later in the day though, the weather took a turn for the worse and the skies opened up! Check out the complete gallery HERE to see them all frame-by-frame!

Aaron Plessinger on his Star Racing Yamaha YZ250F

Alex Martin, the Troll Train, showing some style on his Troy Lee Designs KTM 250SXF

Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Austin Forkner throwing a big fatty on the Sky Shot

Benny Bloss clicking some heels on his Rocky Mountain ATV/MC KTM

I am fairly certain this is Dylan Ferandis going by the last few letters on the back of his jersey and the chest protector.

Defending Lucas Oil Pro Motocross 450 Champion Eli Tomac, utilizing the foam and extended plastic visor on his helmet to help visibility and also to keep the mud from sticking to his helmet

Joey Savatgy with the leg swag on his Pro Circuit Kawasaki KX250F

Local boy, Justin Barcia giving the Unadilla, New York fans what they want.  Big, nasty whips off the Sky Shot!  I'd say Barcia delivered with flying colors!

Ken Roczen on his Factory Honda CRF450 showing the Unadilla faithful that he has plenty of style too.  This is currently my background on my laptop and desktop.  My favorite photo from the weekend!

Factory Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin reminding the younger kids that he still has tricks up his sleeve (even though Marvin is not old, he's still more of a vet in the 450 class).

Another local New Yorker, Filthy Phil Nicoletti on his Factory Husqvarna FC450.  Phil rode great with 3-5 moto finishes and landed on the overall podium in third.  It was so cool to see this happen at his "home" national.

Southwick Photos are Uploaded!

I have finished uploading from the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross from The Wick 338 in Southwick, Massachusetts.  It was a HOT one out there!  I was only watching so I couldn't even imagine what those guys went through doing two 30 minute +2 lap motos.  Both classes provided some great racing and holy cow, was Eli Tomac hauling the mail in moto 2!  He was fast in moto 1 was well because he was mid-pack at best out of the first turn and made a ton of passes within the first few hundred yards just railing around the outside of everyone.  Click HERE to check out the entire album!

Aaron Plessinger on the downhill off camber coming into the middle section of the track.

Alex Martin on his Troy Lee Designs KTM railing a sand berm at The Wick

Still figuring out these slow shutter shots but I think this one came out decent of Copper Webb

Some patriotic fans were a hit and they had to be sweating their tail off becuase it was hot and humid!

Eli Tomac relocating some of the Southwick sand

This turn near the infield VIP area provided for some great shots I think as Ken Roczen demonstrates
