McThoughts: 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series

McThoughts: 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series By Jeff McConkey It’s finally here!!! A1 goes off tomorrow from Angel Stadium in snowy California. Yes, I said snowy. Let’s hope the weather doesn’t ruin the great action, as this is the most stacked 450 class ever! I’m still pretty pissed at the FIM and their handling of James Stewart and his suspension. The series will still be amazing without James, but

Welcome to the New Face of Direct Motocross!

Hello, and welcome to the all-new Direct Motocross site. January 2015 marks the 6-year anniversary of DMX and, with that, we thought it appropriate to launch this newly-designed and revamped site today.

$2 Tuesday: 2009 Whispering Pines National

Brief Bonus Frid’Eh Update #53

Somehow we find ourselves with a 53rd Frid’Eh Update this year (It could be argued that ’53rd and 3rd’ was the first-ever ‘punk rock’ song).

With that in mind, we’d like to dedicate this Update to all of the readers who have helped keep
