I went to the Endurocross in Salem, OR last night. What an awesome event! The course was set up amazing and many said they did a better job than the Vegas event this past year. Geoff Aaron and Ricky Dietrick were there, and it was a blast to watch these guys who have amazing control over their bikes. The best part was a local guy from my home town, Rory Sullivan, won the pro main.
If you get a chance to go to one of these events, go for it. I enjoyed it more that the Seattle supercross or Washougal motocross.

I agree! I went to the Denver round last year, and it was a blast! You can only enjoy so much jumping, turning and whoops. At any point during an Endurocross, there are crashes, almost-crashes, great passes and great recoveries. I'm seriously thinking of entering, just for the experience, if it comes to Denver again this year. It would be a hoot to make it through a few rounds with my (ancient) 2000 KDX220, and leave the license plate on it, and horn/brake light, for kicks!

Sweet. Maybe I'll work up a 'costume', just for kicks. Always embarassing to the other guys who take any form of competition WAY too seriously! I'm thinking Elvis....y'know 2 rounds in Las Vegas this year & all...
