How do Canadians spell Supercross?
Super competitive, that’s how. The soil was semi-frozen and got wetter as the day wore on despite being inside the Rogers Centre in Toronto Canada. Ruts were the name of the game and it wasn’t long before the track had the look of an outdoor race. It took turns throwing every front runner to the...

Daytona, mudder of all races.
Mud pies were all the rage at the 2008 Daytona Supercross. It started raining around 3:45 in the afternoon and didn’t let up all through the race.
