Rockstar Energy Husqvarna rider Jason Anderson lights the candles at the Auckland round of the S-X Open in New Zealand. The 2018 AMA Supercross Champion used a trip Down Under to work on his race craft and enjoy some time abroad before the real preseason heavy lifting begins in the ramp-up to Anaheim in January. Our own Jason Weigandt went along; you can read about the whole trip to New Zealand and Australia next month in Racer X Illustrated. 
Team USA teammates Ryan Sipes (left) and Kailub Russell change tires during a working break at the 2019 FIM International Six Days Enduro in Portugal. Sipes and Russell teamed up with Taylor Robert (inset) and Steward Baylor to win the World Trophy competition. Also winning in Portugal were Team USA’s Women’s Trophy team, which consisted of Becca Sheets, Brandy Richards, and Tarah Gieger. And finishing second behind Australia in the Junior Trophy category were Team USA’s Josh Toth, Ben Kelley, and Grant Baylor.
The 2020 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship begins in January at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium, and two-time series champion Chad Reed plans on being on the starting gate, even if he has to do it on his own. Reed has a date with destiny—he’s one start shy of reaching 250, far and away the record for AMA Supercross. The 37-year-old would also extend his record as the oldest rider ever to make a 450SX main event. The big question is, if Reed does make it to his 250th starting gate, will that be the last start for this supercross legend? Stay tuned.
very fall, MX Sports Pro Racing, organizer of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, gets together with representatives of the six major OEMs to discuss the state of Pro Motocross in America. My other job is president of MX Sports Pro Racing, a position I’ve held since 2008, when the Daytona Motorsports Group (DMG), led by Jim France, bought AMA Pro racing from the American Motorcyclist Association, then leased us the right to manage and promote the series. The AMA Pro Motocross rulebook is still written by AMA Pro Racing, but we have a lot of input, as do the six OEMs we meet with on a regular basis.
It was at one of those meetings that Roger De Coster, the head of U.S. racing for KTM and Husqvarna (and likely soon GasGas), offered his concerns about the lack of education he was seeing in the sport. De Coster believes the industry has a responsibility to young athletes and their families to be more proactive in pushing younger riders toward at least a high-school education, and I certainly agree. I have said time and again that lack of education is our sport’s dirty little secret, and that too often “homeschool” really means “practice school” for young riders. Too often we see and hear about riders who finish their professional careers and don’t have the proper education or skills for what comes next. Roger discussed how most other sports—especially stick and ball ones—have some kind of scholastic component to them, then suggested we make proof of some kind of high-school-equivalent diploma mandatory for anyone who wanted a professional license.

Racer X Magazine.
Why wouldn’t Feld or NBC Sports film and air the supercross races from around the world? Like Australia, New Zealand, Paris, etc. Is there too much competition with NFL? Odd timing?
Mike Larson // Racer X Online
As much as we moto fans would like to see those races on TV, the audience and market share don’t justify the costs that would be involved—though it does seem like perfect content for the NBC Sports Gold SX/MX package! DC
Wouldn’t it be a wise industry move to buy some of these Stacyc electric bikes and open a dedicated park/track to expose the young? It could even be done inside since they don’t necessarily need a lot of space. Easy way to start them young!
Stan Bruzgulis // Racer X Online
Excellent point, Stan, and I believe Fox Racing did just that for their Southern California headquarters and the pump track they have out back. DC
Loved the article “The Last Works Bikes” in the November issue. I think it’s great that Honda always has those former works (as well as production-rule) team bikes on display every now and then—which always brings me to ponder the same question: why are the Honda bikes of Stanton, JMB, and Kiedrowski never displayed? Are they hidden away somewhere in a warehouse? Did Honda destroy the bikes of this era so the competition couldn’t copy that technology? And if that is the case, then why were team bikes of Bailey, Hannah, Lechien, O’Mara, McGrath, Lamson, Carmichael, Hansen, etc. spared and preserved? Keep up the good work with the old-school stories!

here’s an old study from the 1980s that still comes up a lot: a physical test of top riders helped to prove, somehow, that motocross was the second most physically demanding sport in the world, behind only soccer. This study is now over 30 years old and still gets referenced. Whatever. I’ll give you another subject where only soccer can top motocross worldwide. I would surmise that only soccer can beat this sport for universal international acceptance. We’ve tracked much of this in the pages of this magazine through the years—from the U.S. to Europe to remote portions of Asia, Africa, South and Central America, and the Middle East, motocross exists nearly everywhere. Further, it exists in the same form—the same bikes, the same general idea of a starting gate and a dirt track with some mounds. This isn’t cricket compared to baseball, or rugby compared to football. It’s astonishing how many corners of the globe participate in dirt bike racing, to the point where we take it for granted, kind of like the fitness study. We all know they race moto everywhere, right?
FIVE GUYS, ONE QUESTION | BY AARON HANSEL

2020 Supercross Team Guide
Cover Them | BY DAVEY COOMBS
f you had a sense of déjà vu when you first saw the cover of this issue of Racer X Illustrated, we understand. The photograph on page one of this February 2020 issue looks very similar to the photo that graced the cover of the February 2019 issue. Twelve months ago, newly crowned Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion Jason Anderson was showing off his new #1 plate in a photo captured by Simon Cudby; this time it’s newly crowned Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion Cooper Webb, also shot by Cudby. In both cases, the rider was coming off a season in which he won his first 450SX title, riding a bike built in Austria—an FC 450 Rockstar Energy Husqvarna in Anderson’s case and a Red Bull KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition under Webb.
While the covers may look familiar, there is much about them that is different, given some context. In Anderson’s case, he was just coming off an injury in the summer of 2018 that cost him much of his summer—he’d collided with another rider in practice. Having won four 450SX main events on the way to the ’18 title, the accident cost Anderson a good chance to carry that momentum into Lucas Oil Pro Motocross and hopefully win his first outdoor national.
Webb, too, was coming back from an injury, but his didn’t occur until August, by which time he had added his first 450 Class MX win to the seven AMA Supercross main events he’d won on his way to the ’19 title.

FUN BIKES: 2020 YAMAHA YZ125X | BY JARED BOLTON
hen the opportunity arose to attend the 2020 Yamaha YZ250FX and YZ125X introduction ride in South Carolina, I immediately jumped on the opportunity, with the biggest excitement involving the YZ125X. Prior to this ride, I really couldn’t remember the last time I was able to ride a 125, so my initial time on the bike was spent remembering how to ride one!
Once I remembered not to lug it around like the 300 two-strokes I’m used to, it was smooth sailing; within a few minutes, I was saying, “I wish I could take this bike home!” The YZ125X motor is specifically tuned for off-road riding, with a smoother power delivery versus the YZ125. It has an off-road-specific ECU, off-road carburetor settings, and off-road-tuned suspension.
With three different loops available at the ride, it was a unique opportunity to ride the 125X in a variety of terrain. On the faster, more wide-open loop, it was easy to keep the 125X motoring along with usable power. In the tight, slow loop, the 125X was incredibly easy to ride due to its low weight and “flickability” between the tight trees. The main loop consisted of a mix of technical terrain and medium-speed flowing trails, similar to a GNCC course. In this loop, the 125X was nearly flawless, as it combined the usable power and flickability I discovered in the other two loops.
ow in its third year, the Roland Sands Moto Beach Classic has become one of Southern California’s must-see events for any fan of two-wheel action. The one-day event takes place right by the sand in Huntington Beach and features Super Hooligan racing, drag racing, art features, live music, BMX demos, stunt shows, great food, and some amazing custom motorcycles.
As soon as you enter the Moto Beach Classic, it’s sensory overload in the best possible way. The first thing I saw was a BMX show featuring old-school legend Cory Nastazio and a host of other talented shredders pulling huge backflips, tail whips, 360s, and other jaw-dropping tricks. Next up was Wargirl, a local band from Long Beach who put on an amazing show in front of the SoCal crowd.
I then made my way down to the small racetrack that had been put up for some Super Hooligan racing. Tyler Bereman and road racer Josh Herrin were the big names in attendance, and watching these guys race Harley-Davidsons, Triumphs, Ducatis, and other converted street bikes around such a tight circuit was certainly impressive.
RX: Hudson, what got you into riding?
Hudson Deegan: I got into riding because of my dad [Brian Deegan]. I used to watch all of his old documentaries when I was younger, and that really got me interested in racing and riding dirt bikes. You can still find me in my room watching the Disposable Heroes or Bloodline documentaries to this day!
Talk to us about your first race.
My first race was Mini Majors when I was 7. I ended up winning in the 50cc beginner class and won it again the following year.
Speaking of winning, you had the opportunity to race the KJSX this year, which you won. What was that like?
It was really cool. I battled with the #5 of Levi Townley [son of former pro Ben Townley] almost the entire race until I launched past him on the step-up coming onto the start straight. I could hear the crowd going crazy, and it is by far the biggest race I’ve won and something I will always remember for sure. The best part was when I was on the top step of the podium, though. Because I won at A2, I automatically qualified to go to the KJSX Championship at the Monster Energy Cup in October. There I got a bad start and ended up finishing fourth, but it was a great experience.
Your family is heavily into social media and creating vlogs on YouTube. Talk to us about that.
We do all kinds of stuff on there. Sometimes we document our days at the races with my dad, Hailie, Haiden, and myself, and other days we’re just doing funny stuff around the house. My personal favorites are when we bust out the Polarises and drive them. I’m very fortunate to have a family like I do. I really enjoy doing all of it.

Indeed, a large group of talent had gathered on the Diamond Club stage at Anaheim’s Angel Stadium for the season-opening Monster Energy AMA Supercross press conference. The #deepfield of forecasted frontrunners comprised Jason Anderson, Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen, Justin Barcia, Marvin Musquin, Justin Hill, Joey Savatgy, Chad Reed, Aaron Plessinger, Blake Baggett, and Justin Brayton. Ironically, the eventual champion wasn’t even part of that initial presser. Red Bull KTM’s Cooper Webb wasn’t a big enough story. He wasn’t perceived as a contender

his month we’re installing NitroMousse tubes inside Bridgestone Battlecross E50 tires. They provide 100 percent flat protection, so when you’re doing some off-road rides in the middle of nowhere, it adds peace of mind to the trip. Also, you don’t have to adjust air pressure! When the temperature outside changes, it affects the tire pressure, but that’s not an issue with mousse inserts. Here’s how to install them.
First, remove the old tubes and tires and clean the rim. Once it’s very clean, apply the new rim band, then you’re ready to mount your tire.
Make sure you check direction of the tire—you don’t want to put it on backward! A lot of tires are directional, so just look for an arrow on the sidewall, like on this E50. Put the tire on with the arrow pointing in the direction your bike will be turning. Make sure you get that right!
To mount the top of the bead, I start with one tire spoon and lock it in. That tire spoon won’t move. I’ll use my other tire spoon and my foot to work toward that tire spoon to my starting point. Once I work my way around, I use small increments, maybe an inch or so of bite for the tire spoon. Then I’ll hold that down with my foot and move my tire spoon to the next inch or two, hold my foot down, and move my tire spoon again.
hen Ron Lechien was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in December, it was primarily a result of his 26 AMA Supercross/Pro Motocross race wins, his two FIM Motocross des Nations triumphs, his 1985 AMA 125 National Motocross Championship, and his record as the youngest rider ever to win an FIM 250cc Grand Prix. But for Lechien, who hailed from El Cajon, California, the one win that might most epitomize his mercurial career came in a race that you won’t find in the record books.
The 1983 San Diego Supercross took place on November 5 at the old Jack Murphy Stadium. The race was not a part of the ’83 AMA/Wrangler Supercross Championship, which had ended in August at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl. Instead, the San Diego race was the final round of an offshoot tour, somewhat clunkily called the CMC/Miller High Life Supercross Trans-Cal Series, which combined several Golden State motocross races with a couple of CMC-sanctioned stadium rounds.

Thing you’ll miss most about your old team?
CM: The people within the crew of the team.
JS: Talking crap with TK [Tyler Keefe] and the mechanics when I got to the races every weekend.
Thing you’re looking forward to most about your new team?
CM: Working toward and achieving new goals together.
JS: Getting to work with a guy like Mitch [Payton]. I can’t wait to learn from him and see where we can get working together.
Funniest travel story?
CM: Driving to Oklahoma to ride one winter, my friend’s dad accidentally left him at the gas station, and we didn’t realize it until like five minutes down the road and he had no service.
JS: One time I was driving to the Daytona Supercross and was going to pick up my buddy from the airport. He told me he landed and I was like, “Okay, you did fly to Daytona, right?” just because it’s something he would do to fly to Orlando or another close airport and not tell me. He sends me his location through Messages and it says he’s like 1,200 miles away or something crazy. He flew to Dayton, Ohio.
Most ridiculous person in the pits?
CM: The snow-cone guy.
JS: Seven-deuce-deuce, Adam Enticknap! That guy is a trip and makes everyone laugh every time they talk to him.
Most common bike part you break?
CM: I’m not really sure.
JS: Every time my mechanic puts on a new set of grips, it never fails for me to slide out in a turn and rip the end of it off.
Favorite person in the pits?
CM: Doc G.
JS: Troy Lee after his team wins. It’s a party like you’ve never seen.
Most useless item in your gear bag?
CM: Spare buckles for my boots.
JS: There’s nothing useless in there. With so much traveling and packing everything I can into my bag, you have to get rid of anything you don’t need.
I’m not much of a fighter. Kill them with kindness!” —CM
