Brian Deegan
is going to New Zealand this week to hang out with Mike Johnes, Twitch, Kinnaird and Seth on the Crusty tour. All of these riders are flying etnies. Brian just got the pins and rods taken out of his wrist, which should heal-up pretty good. The femur injury will take another month-and-a-half to two months to heal properly.
Trigger
is setting-up another world record jump for the overall record of 260 ft. Keep checking the site to see how that goes.
Chad Reed
won the St. Louis, Missouri Supercross this weekend. He's won the last three races in a row and gaining on points for the Championship.
Mike Alessi
destroyed the competition at the Lake Whitney Spring Nationals. He posted four overall national championships this weekend. Mike had the fastest lap times of any of the 3000 riders.

had another hard weekend due to a crash in which Travis Pastrana took him down in the third turn of the first lap. Grant got up, started out in 19th, and finished the race in 11th.
