This is the Fantasy Supercross thread, because the dirt thread ain't right

Supercross season is nearly upon us. The Geneva SX just wrapped up, and drat was it exciting (start at 3min):

AMA supercross starts with Anaheim 1 on January 9th! The promotion company that runs SX is learning how to be big boys due to contracts with Fox, so they released this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUFzoOk2EQg

Why should you watch SX?

- Short and sweet main events
- Hotdogs
- Rednecks
- Amazing action
- Ralph Sheheen (http://www.ralphsheheen.com/)


Every year a few businesses do Fantasy SX. The goal is to pick winners, and make the race more interesting. The best leagues are Racer X's Moto Dynasty and Rocky Mountain MC's FantasySX. MotoDynasty gives you more options, but you can actually win stuff with RMMC.

So CA, get to https://www.rmfantasysx.com and sign up. When the rolls open check back to this thread for an invite to the SA team.
Don't know SX, the bros below are likely one of the four guys on the podium in the 450 class every race.




Ryan Dungey
"I'd like to thank the lord jesus christ and the entire state of Wisconsin for the opportunity to appear in this thread"


Eli Tomac
"My dad said this is totally my year"


Ken Roczen
"I'm just a cool guy that likes parties"


Justin Barcia
"I'm totally still BamBam"

The boys at Racer X are doing a preview series with two episodes out. Get the preseason strategery going, the first race is where the fantasy points are made:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3abkm2K9k4

EDIT: if you actually watch these they keep going to 'ping' for a 'mathematical' analysis. What a joke. dude draws 2 circles with a dot in every episode.

They actually have numbers and data! The teams use sophisticated lap tracking video equipment to superimpose lap performance. Jesus guys get it together and do some work.

Alright boys, the first round in Anaheim (Anaheim 1) is Saturday January 9th!

Fantasy SX is now officially open. To join the group login at https://www.rmfantasysx.com and click Join Groups

Our group is Cycle Asylum with the password stairs (sorry)

As a final note, if it's the same as last year you can change your pix right up to the first heat race, so you can look at live timing and make adjustments.

My pics:
Dungey
Tomac
Roczen
Musquin
Barcia
Wildcard 9th: Peick

I waffled a bit, because I think Anderson can definitely do top 5, same with Stewart. Tomac can also easily get 1st, but I think I'm playing it safe for the first round.

The overall rankings matched peoples performance in Oakland - makes it easy for me!

Also, we finally figured out how Cooper Webb can be defeated. Did anyone figure out what happened? Also, why did Stewart pull off?

Yet another absolutely amazing 250 race. Man Jimmy D was on fire, but it's clear he can't run the distance. Dude needs some more fitness I guess?

Yo-sup,

I vote dreesemonkey for running a new Fantasy SX thread this year, but perhaps a different (better) service with actual reports instead of my sorry rear end doing it by hand.

I just happened to see this thread update. I can create / manage a new thread for the upcoming season. I'll start working on an OP (meaning not doing it and then making GBS threads something together a week before the season starts)

u da real mvp.

Any thoughts on alternate services? I think Racer X did one?

Season looks to be a big shake-up!
