DMXS Party

Was it John Travolta? Was it Boy George? Was it Michael Flaherty from the river dance....NO Folks....it was all 3 in one, thats right Jason " I dance like a homo in heat " Weigandt was TEARING up the dance floor at Moondogs last night for a solid hour, he had the stage all to himself and performed for the delighted crowd to the techno beat waifting through the spacious club. Center stage though was jason, i can only describe his fluid moves as " brilliant " with 70's era style cues coming from travolta himself and the disturbing lack of joint tissue much akin to the well know flaherty being pulled off with astounding accuracy

Jason...you have chosen the wrong profession, your true calling is to put down the mic, wax the dancing shoes and head back to your roots, except keep going over the river into New York and enroll in the academy of arts.... your headed for broadway baby!

No party goers were injured during the course of jasons performance!

Makita Suzuki’s Ricky Carmichael
to Participate in Charity Ride after Atlanta Supercross

BREA, Calif. (Feb. 23, 2005) - American Suzuki Motor Corporation (ASMC) today announced that Team Makita Suzuki Racing’s Ricky Carmichael will appear at the DMXS Charity Ride for Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) at Bremen Race Park, in Bremen, Ga., this Sunday, Feb. 27, after the THQ World Supercross GP/THQ AMA Supercross Series in Atlanta.

"This cause hits close to me because it affects a very close friend of mine,” said Carmichael. “Savanna is the beautiful daughter of Heath Hamrick and she suffers from A-T. My goal is to help raise awareness to this disease and hopefully help raise some money to support the continued research for a cure."

To further benefit the Ride for A-T, Fox Racing has created four specific sets of gear for Carmichael to wear at the Atlanta Supercross. The unique gear will then be auctioned off in both the Atlanta pits on Saturday, Feb. 26 and at the DMXS Charity Ride on Feb. 27. Carmichael will also donate the Butterfinger Hole Shot money ($1,500) to Ride for A-T if he wins the hole shot in Atlanta.

All money raised in the DMXS Charity Ride for A-T will benefit the A-T Children’s Project. Last year, more than $25,000 was raised in the inaugural event. “As a parent whose daughter has been afflicted with the A-T disease, this event is very special to me,” said Hamrick, the event organizer.

This year, the DMXS Charity Ride for A-T includes freestyle, step-up and all classes of racing on a separate, full-blown mini-bike track. Pro riders will be there to sign autographs and participate in the pro-only practice, so fans can get an up-close look at their favorite riders.

Admission to the event is $10, or $15 to ride. For more information, log on to www.ride4at.com or contact Heath Hamrick (678) 300-7773.

This weekend was a triple header in the world of moto....San Diego saw Chad Reed pass RC late in the race to take the win for the first time this season, while Nathan Ramsey won on the 125's ...since Icant be in 3 places at once Iopted to try for 2 out of 3 and was able to attend the Chicago IFMA on friday and the Indy Trade Show on Saturday. In Chicago, Clear Channel had a triple header as well, one show friday night saw Beau Bamburg nac nac flip his way into first place and on Saturday afternoon it was Phoenix Arizona's Jim McNeil taking the win with Beau slipping back to 4th, Bamburg got back to his A-game again and won on Saturday night for the 3rd show.

Jim McNeil has several variations of his backflip...if he had not been knocked unconscious at the Winter-X games on his backflip attempt he may be sporting gold right now. Check out this one handed flip sequence of Jim from Chicago this weekend!

Indy Trade Show and Dealer Expo has too many booths and new product to look at in one day, there are literally thousands of new products for the motorcycle industry under several roofs ( The RCA Dome as well as several convention center buildings ) upstairs, downstairs, in hallways...everywhere you look are bikes, quads, neon lights and even a plethora of dancing girls ( ok so they didnt dance, but they look like they should have, albeit with a pole )

Indy is a cool town and Supercross went smoothly last night ( with no blizzard this year thankfully ) with a crowd of 52,833 shouting their approval of RC winning yet another race. Ironic that it was this same crowd who started the booing streak not long ago. My, how things change! Ricky is really enjoying himself and it shows in his face, he has matured as not only an athlete but as a decision maker within the team and thats right where he wants to be. He even went so far as to mention in the press conference that its always the same two guys asking questions ( Thanks Teefus and WordNerd ) looks like we will have to stop being so PC and start asking the tough questions? What questions would you like us to ask him? The others? Feel free to email me and let us know what you wanna know!

Danya has been busting her tush at the races putting images up for everyone pretty quick, Gif Animations of the holeshot and has all our images posted the same night for the industry folks looking to browse for ads or images for features. Look to us for all of your one stop shopping needs :) We plan on being at most of the remaining SX rounds and all of the Nationals this year including Loretta's and some of the major amateur events as well.

Here are a few more pics from the main event last night, enjoy and let us know what we can do to make your visit to our site a better one.

February 11, 2005 - RCA Dome. Ricky Carmichael once again won practice but as you can see below, he was watching the competition very carefully, this photo of RC was when they come back on to the start straight after the whoops and he was chasing Reed and watching him over the triple, Ricky was the first one in practice to do a triple then double over the camel hump technical section. He is simply on the gas with no signs of letting up.

Chad Reed put a move on Iron Mike in practice that probably wasnt the smartest thing to do, Im not sure what happened before this but chad came off the finish line triple and came in under - and hot on Mike, putting the Amsoil rider to the ground as you can see here. Reed needs to be fast and smooth, pissing off riders like Mike LaRocco in his home town isnt gonna help speedy reedy gain any points on RC if he is bouncing across some Scott tough blocks on his back. Watch Iron Mike tomorrow night to see what happens.

Kevin Windham has taken a few hard spills over the last few weeks but he was looking smooth today, Kdub has one of the most stylish whips ever and judging from this one he might be feeling better, lets hope Kevin is back up to speed and gets in the mix in Indy

Tyler Evans looks faster and faster every weekend, he keeps charging and you have to respect his tenacity, this guy isnt gonna go away easily, if his results keep improving we might just see him and ( hopefully ) Nick Wey on factory teams very soon!
