For years Southwick has provided some of the greatest racing on the outdoor motocross calendar. The ever-changing landscape of The 'Wick's sand keeps lines different throughout the weekend, bike-sized breaking bumps appear out of nowhere, roost in your face, it's gnarly.

2007's Race proved to be more of the same, consistent battling we've come to know from year's past, though it would be tough to beat Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart's battle in 2006.

Here's how the podium stacked up in '07:

Lites Class
1. Ben Townley
2. Ryan Villopoto
3. Ryan Dungey

Motocross Class
Ricky Carmichael
James Stewart
Grant Langston

Invite - 3min 26sec
The week before the National, a group of invited riders show up to put in some laps at an invitational race. In this short video we hear from Josh Grant and a very young Jake Weimer.



Rider of the Week - 3min 29sec
Gavin Gracyk makes this weeks ROTW heading in to Southwick. He was a privateer and returned to racing after a very tough year personally. Making sure that one of our brothers gets back up when he's down, the Mototalk and Racer X community stepped up and helped him out quite a bit.



Test Day - 2min 14sec
Checking in with Davi Millsaps and Tommy Hahn during testing day. They had already put in some laps on the infamous circuit and had a few things to say before heading into the weekend's event.



Pre-Show 19min 52sec
Jason Weigandt and Davey Coombs check in on "move-in" day and talk about the scenery and how the track is turning out. After weeks of racing on the hard pack of the West, the racers are definitely in for a treat in the soft stuff.

Coming in to Southwick Carmichael and Stewart were close in points. Out front in the Lites class was Villopoto even without an overall win for the season yet. Leticia Cline sweeps the pits and checks in with Ryan Dungey, Ricky Carmichael and Johnny O'mara.



Post-Show - 26min 14sec
Ben Townley makes his American presence known in the sand with a 2-1 finish for the overall. Closely behind was Villopoto and Dungey. An exciting race.

Stewart put out an early lead in moto one, but Carmichael was very interested in reeling him in. RC and Stewart threw down again but it was RC who had the extra gear this year. Carmichael turned it on after about 20 minutes and really showed how fit he is. Grant Langston also shows some grit in moto two and pulls off something only a few in the world have done, pass James Stewart.



Buckley Berm - 1min 36sec
Maybe one of the most photographed turns on the Southwick circuit, the Buckley Berm is named after photographer Paul Buckley who has been shooting this track for ages. It's as fun to rail through this turn as it is to shoot photos of.
