Jeremy Martin has been in the thick of the racing lately, wins, holeshots, crashes... haha the guy has pulled a full spectrum of tricks out over the last few rounds! I mean OMG! How did he miss Joachim Falden #200! man that was close! The yamaha rider got caught up mid corner and how Martin missed him is beyond me! Great to watch how he recovers from his wipe at the begining of the race and pull it back!

Its always great to see how real pros recover from early crash bad luck in the second motos. How do you pull that holeshot and gap everyone but about 50m in 20 seconds! wow! My guilty secret with these videos is to watch all the action as if i was looking in a rear view mirror! I love seeing the pack all bunched up and following the lead. In motocross you are always told to never look back! Let them deal with things, you are to concentrate on going forward. So yeah haha these videos are something of a revelation in that respect, i get to see something that i don't usually see :)

This video from Nick Wey's return to professional racing shows exactly how intense the sport can be when you are stuck mid pack! Everyone looks at the leader and thinks "wow he is such a good rider", and sure they are right in certain respects. Thing is that guy doesn't have to contend with 39 other riders battling for the same space in each and every corner! Some times the best 'racing' is done in the thick of the pack! These guys are not only trying to get round as fast as possible in ever changing terrain, but also having to deal with bikes and bodies flying into every space at intense speeds!
You can tell Wey is a veteran of the sport, some of his line choices are inspired! Sometimes the longest way round is the fastest. Check him out.
