Ya it was a good race to watch for sure, sucks they all went down so soon, but it was great for the others.

I'm hooked on this series this year with the competition this year, it's going to be great racing.

Can someone explain the different mx series to me? Where does this series compare to motogp or wsbk and what series is bubba in? I assume bubba is in the motogp of mx series, and I know unlike sportbikes that the best mx racing is in the US.

Supercross started in the usa in the early 70's obviously it is usually inside an football stadium . other countries have tried to be included in the series but none have tried their own series . so supercross even though takes place in the usa and canada is unique in the world.

motocross is outdoors the ama nationals is the outdoors .
the ama nationals motocross series is probably the largest mx series in the world.
outdoor mx racing is not or was not born in the usa .
there are different series all over the world as well as a world mx series mxgp(sort of like wsbk).

Ok so what series did Ricky Carmichael race in? What series do Bubba and Chad Reed currently run in? Wouldn't the series that RC raced in be conisdered the highest evolution of mx racing in the world?

They all have pretty much raced in both, the current battle this year will be all of them in supercross.

Rick had a lot of success in motocross as well. Bubba and Reed are in supercross this year as well.

Ricky raced both AMA sx & mx, and seemed to be on
A level of his own in mx. Probably his pt and endurance.
In the heat of summer some racers have to recieve iv fluids
