THE WEEKLY FEED: NEW AMA SUPER-MOTOCROSS SERIES • GNARLY ROMANIACS VIDS

In 1979, Bob Hannah was a steamroller. He won his third consecutive AMA Supercross series title and defended his outdoor National title by winning over half of the races in the series. Later in the year, at the height of his powers he broke his leg in 12 places in a water-skiing accident that sidelined for a little more than a year. This photo is interesting in that he was a JT sponsored rider, wore Scott boots that had flopping latches and Hi Point gloves. Notice the corner marker, car tires tossed over a post.

MX Sports Pro Racing and Feld Motor Sports Partner to Form the SuperMotocross World Championship

MX Sports Pro Racing and Feld Motor Sports, Inc., today jointly announced a partnership that will see the formation of the SuperMotocross World Championship. Under this new alliance, the two companies will work together to grow both, Supercross and Motocross, creating a new championship platform that will reward the sport’s best athletes with a $10 million purse – the richest offering in either sports’ history.

Starting in 2023, the professional racing season will expand and culminate with the SuperMotocross World Championship on Saturday, October 14, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California.

The Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship and the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship will both continue to crown their own champions at the conclusion of their respective series. Afterwards, the top 22 250cc athletes and the top 22 450cc athletes in combined Supercross and Pro Motocross points will qualify to compete in the two SuperMotocross Playoff Rounds and World Championship round for the SuperMotocross #1 plate and sport’s richest payout.

The SuperMotocross World Championship will combine both disciplines of Supercross and Pro Motocross, introducing a unique and distinct form of racing called SuperMotocross, hence becoming a new discipline for the sport. Custom-designed tracks will be built to showcase this new style of racing. World-class venues will allow room to integrate the best track designs from Supercross, Pro Motocross and now SuperMotocross, finally providing a stage where the sport’s ultimate debate can be decided – who is the best in the world and ultimately crowning a new overall champion.

KLIM RELEASES NEW FALL OFF-ROAD GEAR COLORS

Perhaps the most anticipated release for the popular XC Lite series coined “Digital Chaos,” includes an all-new look of safety yellow, neon blue and knockout pink with matching pant, jersey and glove. The XC Lite tops the charts for mobility and is engineered with the aggressive trail rider and racer in mind, putting extra focus on comfort in extremely demanding conditions where airflow, moisture-wicking materials and highly flexible fabrics are critical.

New for the F3 Carbon Off-Road Helmet is the same bold look as the XC Lite line with black, knockout pink, neon blue and safety yellow. The popular F3 Carbon is the lightest ECE off-road helmet KLIM was willing to make without sacrificing safety.

The Mojave series, which focuses big time on airflow while maintaining solid durability, also gets a full kit (matching pant, jersey, glove) with a Bonfire colorway that includes gray, ruby red, fiery red and safety yellow.
