Sam Hill and Fontucky in the same sentence..thats covering some ground.just spoke to his team manager, "Sam's ok.. just banged his knee a bit" so i'm sure he'll be fine to dominate everyone at the first world cup.. & don't forget Fontucky in 2 weeks... not sure if he's racing Firestone this weekend.
Wow that's awesome, almost makes me want to just spectate. It will interesting to see how much they smoke the Fontana regulars.not sure about firestone (since it's a small dh race w/a NORBA xc)... but he's defiantely racing Fontana... actually quite of few WC riders will be there!
here's a brief list of who's coming:
- Sam Hill
- Nathan Rennie
- Chris Kovarik
- Bryn Atkinson
- Andrew Neethling

Uh...what does that mean? Did he run around on foot avoiding cars?Random Fact About Sam Hill:
Sam Hill won his first demolition derby in 1995 by entering the competition without a vehicle. He has won every year since.
you're new around here, ain't ya?Uh...what does that mean? Did he run around on foot avoiding cars?
edit: deleted because I e-hated for no damn reason. I'm ashamed.sorry, guess i spoke to soon... looks like sam will be riding, but might not race as he (& the crew) might be heading out to Vegas for the Supercross Finals (lucky ********!) but the rest of the world cup guys will be racing! it'll still be cool to see Sam back riding fontuky... (& the real Sam this time, not the typical "Hey Sam's riding fontucky!" when it's actually his mechanic Jacy riding! haha)
Their Marquee rider is in town and a national is 15 minutes from MONSTER headquarters and they are going to supercross?sorry, guess i spoke to soon... looks like sam will be riding, but might not race as he (& the crew) might be heading out to Vegas for the Supercross Finals (lucky ********!) but the rest of the world cup guys will be racing! it'll still be cool to see Sam back riding fontuky...

thanks for filling my shoes so consicely.Their Marquee rider is in town and a national is 15 minutes from MONSTER headquarters and they are going to supercross?
Killer marketing or guess it goes to show how little they care about mountain biking (monster).
Kudos to that.Their Marquee rider is in town and a national is 15 minutes from MONSTER headquarters and they are going to supercross?

To be honest, once RC retired, do not have much interest in 'going' to the races. Plus we get enough SX riders and wives in the store so I get my fill.thanks for filling my shoes so consicely.
But the real question is...how soon are you bailing on Fontucky to go sit in the box seats moto whore?
Man you are super cool.To be honest, once RC retired, do not have much interest in 'going' to the races. Plus we get enough SX riders and wives in the store so I get my fill.
I will be at fontucky camping out in our RV, cause the fans love it. Guarantee my family and I will be the only people there to 'spectate'.
A call to Chad Reeds TM 2 years ago said he was fine too....
Random Fact About Sam Hill:

hahah. I can see a Busch series race now.While Sam will be attending Fontucky, the intention never was for him to race as he is not competing for the US series in 07 and since the 1st World Cup round is the following weekend. The team will be at the event as fans and in support of other Iron Horse sponsored athletes (Duncan, Evan, etc), as well as the local dealers. Sam was asked by Monster to attend the Vegas Supercross VIP event and will happily do such

For the record, I was not implying it was me that called, was just comparing this Hill episode to what I read on racerx when Chad Reed busted his shoulder.Name dropper
So you are saying its cool that the world champion will come to the first of the biggest race series in the states (as ****ty as it is) and just hang out?geez... i didn't mean to open up a can of worms. you guys really need to stop whining... I don't see anything wrong w/ anyone skipping Fontana to attend Supercross Finals in Vegas... it's not like they're skipping a World Cup. I mean c'mon... he's coming to ride & be a fan!
funny how quickly people flip opinions throughout the year about NORBA... "should attend" ...."shouldn't attend"... etc. I would much rather be the Supercross Finals than Fontana (even w/o RC). Until recently i was going to bail out on Saturday to attend the SX Finals as well. unfortunately my plans have changed so i'm sticking around to cover the Fontucky nationals. i'm sure you guys would have crucified me as welllthumbsdown:
Naw, I don't own an RV.Yes, but only 1/4 as cool as Fraser.
Ok, give me a .025 credit on coolness, still not as cool.Naw, I don't own an RV.
...& yet he will be attending & riding... whereas there are companies & people boycotting the NORBAs.So you are saying its cool that the world champion will come to the first of the biggest race series in the states (as ****ty as it is) and just hang out?
I must be insane then.
