Another reason why! Mark Gonzales

I took the day off from work entirely yesterday to go watch the opening round of the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship at Glen Helen. This is the spot from where, I watched the first two motos. Best view in the house! Later on I cruised down into the middle of the track.

Chad Reed chases Andrew Short in the sand section. This is the corner right before Reed jumps in front of Short to take his position.

Mike Alessi out front and all alone, but not for long. Ryan Villopoto was on the charge.

Andrew Short looked very fast all day.

Here comes a freight train. Josh Grant being hunted down by Ryan Villopoto and Chad Reed

After watching practice I thought Josh Grant was going to be the man to beat. He’s looking like a title contender this year, no doubt.

Last shot before my camera died. This is where Ryan Villopoto dropped the hammer to pull away from Reed, while reeling in Mike Alessi to go 1-1 for the day. Best racing I’ve seen in a long time.

I guess Mark is into kneeboarding now or something like that?

Giovanni Luigi Reda recently moved in across the hall from us. Not only has he provided hours of comic relief to our lives in the past several weeks, but he’s greatly reduced our daily coffee expense. Recognize this cup? It was featured in Reda’s video part this past weekend on The Berrics. I figured since he’s plotting to steal my SOTY trophy, that I’d strike first! Coffee at Reda’s 8am sharp. Mug not included.
