A Look Ahead With A Look Back - Salt Lake City


SLC is going down tonight so in true Sandbox style, here's what happened at Salt Lake last year:

  • Snow and rain early in the day seem to have no affect on the track. Looks cold as fuck tho.
  • Stewart holeshots and seems to have it all under control before, surprise, surprise he pulls his two signature moves within 100ft of each other. Tip over then front flip, smooth dude.
  • Reed, Brayton and Villopoto chase Stewart out the gate. RV soon takes care of the other two to move into 2nd.
  • Dungey is awful over the dragons back in the early stages, seriously watch him!
  • RV has been testing outdoors in the week break before SLC and it shows as he's railing the corners. Absoultely hossing!
  • Stewart goes a lap down but then starts pulling out a quad just to put some pressure on Reed. Damn those lappers.
  • The rest of the field pretty much don't get a look in, if only those top guys were injured hey? Oh wait...
This race was pretty much a summary of last years Supercross season, Stewart leading and then crashing, RV hauling ass and picking up the win and Reed being better than Dungey. After last week I'm pretty pumped to see what's goin' to happen. With RV out the playing field has been levelled, you would expect Dungey to pick off the win but I pegged him in for 2nd last week and look what happens. If the Dunge isn't on his game tonight, it will be like Rice Eccles Stadium will look like Michael Vick's house as Shorty, Brayton, Weimer and Metty go at it. Last weeks Solidude shout out, Roczen (loves Sandbox) has opted not to ride this week, translate; Ryan Dungey has asked uncle Roger to tell him not to because he'd probably walk off with the win and make the #5 the #2 rider in the KTM pit. We all know it's true.
