| MX Throwback: '07 High Point National You've already re-lived round one of the 2007 Toyota Motocross Championship from Hangtown, now let's jump into our swayback machine again and revisit round two, High Point. Remember, these are the good 'ol days of the James Stewart and Ricky Carmichael Premier class battles, Ryan Dungey getting dialed in on the Lites class, Windham still looking young and spry and Josh Hill was still a face in the front of the pack. Round one of the Monster Energy Triple Crown of Motocross kicked off at High Point as well, so mucho dinero was on the line. High Point's podium shook out like this: Motocross Class 1. Ricky Carmichael 2. James Stewart 3. Davi Millsaps Lites Class 1. Josh Grant (1st AMA overall outdoors) 2. Ryan Villopoto 3. Jason Lawrence Pre-Show - 13min 10sec Davi Coombs and Jason Weigandt open the pre-show from High Point with a great rundown of the differences between round 1 and 2 of the 2007 Toyota Motocross Championship. Out in the pits, the shockingly beautiful, and currently very much missed 2007 Ms. Motocross Leticia Cline is interviewing Rob Buydos about the vintage race happening throughout the weekend. Weigandt picks Millsap's brain while he warms up for practice and pulls a few interesting tidbits about High Point while at it. Post Show - 16min 03sec This Post Show features a montage of scenes from around the facility and a lot of familiar, but shockingly younger faces. David Pingree and Jason Weigandt chase down the details of the weekend. In the Lites class Grant ran strong out front with a familiar duo in Villopoto and Lawrence behind him. In the Premier class Ricky Carmichael was airing out the finish line single well beyond what anyone else was capable of which helped him put some distance between him and the pack. There was some exciting racing going on between the GOAT and Stewart but at the end of the day, it was all RC4. Coming up on Wednesday is Southwick, stay tuned! Until then, here's a preview of the action from the sandbox: Channels: Moto Introducing the '07 MX Series Throwback 2007 and 2008 were great years for outdoor motocross. We still had Ricky Carmichael (at select rounds) and James Stewart cruising around our tracks, the economy wasn't totally in the pot and things were exciting. We decided to dig up the old video footage from when Motocross.com and Racer X ran the Motocross Show as a sort of off-season nostalgia trip down Motocross Lane. Throughout this series you're going to get a glimpse at how far motocross media has come, but realize that this industry is still the same. Each weekend dedicated athletes, mechanics and investors from all over the country make sacrifices for the sake of moto. We hope you enjoy re-living these races as much as we had shooting them. Up first, Hangtown. Post-Show 15min 41sec You couldn't talk about Hangtown in '07 without covering the Lawrence and Villopoto scurmish during practice, so there's plenty of footie in here from that. Charging forward the winners from each race gets the chance to sound off from the podium. Hear a young Ryan Dungey (running number 62) talk about his time in the Lites class, Villopoto cover his angles and more from Hangtown. The Incident - 4min 53sec After Jason Lawrence and Ryan Villopoto tangled in practice they were both given a fine and sent on their way. Lawrence also received the last gate pick for the weekend and didn't have a very successful ride. In this post-race press conference, the AMA addresses the issue and gives both riders an opportunity to tell their side and apologize. Montage - 4min 59sec Just some good lookin' b-roll from the weekend. Enjoy Ok, that's it for Friday. See you next week in High Point! Channels: Moto Wallpapers: Anaheim 1 SupercrossAnaheim 1 went off this weekend without a hitch, that is of course, as long as your not Chad Reed. Stewie's got one win on the board already and the pack behind him are hot on his heels. We thought we'd take a minute to step back and snatch up a few favorite images from last weekend to brighten up that dull PC of yours. Below are 6 favorite shots from our guy-on-the-track Jeff Kardas. Enjoy, and stay tuned for Round 2 photos, highlights and race report from Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona.

When the curtains drew on the 2009 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship Hill found himself in 25th place, overall. Injury sidelined him for much of the season, but even when he was on-track, things didn't seem right. We caught up with him to see what he's been up to. Where have you been lately Mr. Hill?  With JLaw out of the picture (a'hem, in jail!), will we see a new JHill?Is it true you will be with L&M next year? So you're not going to make it to the US Open, would it be safe to say we'll see you at Anaheim? Do you feel like your approach to this season has changed at all in comparison to last season? Where do you see yourself ranking in the upcoming Supercross season? Looking back how do you feel about the past few seasons leading up to this point in your career? Thanks for your time Josh.
