It's time again for Fantasy Supercross! This year we're trying VItalMX Fantasy, where you get a $1M budget and have to earn money by selecting riders for your team. Link below.

Get yourself up to speed with an overly produced preview show:

The best news is that we have Leigh Diffy and Weege in the booth as the play-by-play this year. Thank god. James Stewart is a great color commentator and will be in there too.

Unfortunately, RC will also be back. Prepare your ears for a lot of "supposably" and "mental mistake" and "long legs" and "I try not to be biased but let me tell you.." and "what an incredible story"

This is our first SX after the pseudo-merging of Motocross and Supercross. The SMX playoffs were surprisingly awesome. Hit this highlight reel if you want to see:

I'll be logging on and making pics just before the nightshow every time. Live chat will be at this discord link: https://discord.gg/VBGRJw3c
Discord approval takes a minute, and you get assigned to the specific race chat, which we'll have exclusively since GP is over.

See ya'll in the statistics mines!

Gate drop for the heats is about to happen but if Jett wins tonight he will be the first person ever to win their first 450 supercross race which let's be real he's gonna win and it's gonna be awesome

There’s a race here next week. Should I pay $90 for close seats or $30 cheap seats is fine??

I think the location of the seats with regards to how much of the track you can see is more important than row proximity to the track. When you are down low, close to the track, you really only see a small slice of the pie and have to watch the big TV screen to see anything else. If you are a little ways up and away you get a better view over everything.

Here's my pix and analysis from last round - I got shithoused.

Jett Lawrence - Won, good pic
Jordon Smith - Got 2nd, good pic

Phil Nicoletti- Did great in the heat but his bike broke and DNS the main - god damnit
Hunter Lawrence - jesus christ why
Kenny - Taken out in the first turn, made it back to 10th, god damnit
Mookie - Same first turn takeout, made it back to 11th, why god
Rider D - Who?, got 9th.

Man I got totally destroyed.

I buy the cheap seats when I go - always have a great time. The pit passes CAN be fun, but mixed results. Probably more fun if you're really into dirtbikes like I am and are trying to spot custom electronics.

Just bring a monster energy can and you get into the pit, don't waste money on a pit pass

Jalek Swoll's interview did not inspire confidence in the Triumph dirt bike but maybe he's just bad at interviewing

Also it's a day race today with 3pm start on NBC
