Each year Shelly and I like to get away for the weekend and go check out the best of the best in supercross. All the big names are here Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart, Chad Reed and the list goes on. These guys are usually the top 3 at any given race. The level these guys ride at is unbelievable. This year as well as the other years was a super good time for us. We have found this hotel that is conveniently located near the Marta station where we jump on the train and it takes us everywhere we need to go. If you understand anything about motocross then you will understand what I'm saying. The first time I took Shelly to a race she spotted a fast rider. This guy was always out front when they practice and then my wife says , I bet you this guy wins. Well the top guys haven't even come out yet and I was trying to explain that a rider that normally gets a top 5 finish let alone a win would make this guy look like he was going backwards. OK I'm stretching it there but you know what I mean .... Needless to say once the top pros got going she was blown away at how fast these guys are going. These guys are in great shape physically and mentally. Most people think all you have to do is throw your leg over and twist the throttle.... well maybe if you are going to buzz around in the back yard but on a motocross track, you better have your homework done. While we watched practice I had a chance to get some more practice shooting with my camera. Here are some of my pics I shot.
