This week's photo features Kenny Bell railing an Exit 28 berm. I've known Kenny since we were kids, and after all this time I still enjoy watching him crush ramps and berms alike.

This week Jim Huebner's photo comes from Fernley--to be more specific, a very loamy berm in Fernley that appears to be perfectly prepped and watered. Looks like good times.

Jim Huebner caught some amazing action at the Liv Fast Cup this weekend, including this one of Nate Tiearney upholding local honor on his KX450F.

Danny Hillyer laid into an Exit 28 berm today and Jim Huebner was there at just the right moment to catch this mini madness. Nice style, Danny.

This week Jim Huebner caught a striking photo of young Kaylee Darby railing a berm at Exit 28. The intensity in her eyes is much more evident in the larger version, so click on the photo to see the bigger copy, as well as the rest of Jim's photos from Saturday night.
Jim Huebner caught some more super-sharp photos this weekend at Exit 28. Jesse Mulock stars in the one below, and I'm loving the roost.

Jim Huebner was at it again at the Exit 28 Dealer Challenge finale this Sunday, and this shot of Drake Evans railing a sandy berm was just one of the amazing photos he got. Score one for the minis!

Got to love this one from Jim Huebner of Donny Roberts floating high above Exit 28. Click on the photo to see more of Jim's work from the day.
Sure, Jim Huebner's photo of Nathan Tiearney at Fernley sort of resembles last week's photo of Jesse Gore at Exit 28. But when you break it down, can you ever see too many photos of talented riders shredding loamy berms?

Firstly, here's one of Jim Huebner's best from last week at Exit 28. This shot of Jesse Gore exemplifies both proper form and proper dirt. Click on the photo to see more of Jim's work from the weekend.
And secondly, here are the dealer standings for the series. Things are starting to tighten up a bit:

I don't run many crash photos, but Jim Huebner caught this one from yesterday's race at Fernley a little too perfectly, including the horrified reaction of the woman in the background.

How could this week's photo be anything but this amazing shot of Brian Sjogren laying out his Honda at Stead?

Sure, you know Rich Thorwaldson as the full-time businessman who runs Moto Source. But you may not know that he can also shred a Fernley berm with the best of them, as this Jim Hubener photo proves. Nice work, Rich and Jim.
Because I haven't shot at the track for a bit--due in part to the fact that we have some good freelancers on the message board--I decided to shoot a few frames while at practice last Wednesday night.
There is no rhyme or reason to the pictures below. I shot everything that passed in front of my lens over the span of seven minutes or so and kept what came out, but who knows--maybe you're one of the few?

I'll admit it: new bike introductions have lost a little bit of their magic these past couple of years. Because of economic concerns at the factories--paired with the fact that very few riders spring for a new bike every single year--the excitement that used to surround the unveiling of the new models has diminished just a little. This trend was underlined during Honda's 2010 model launch, in which their flagship race bike, the CRF450, turned out to have no significant changes. Worse yet, Honda also revealed that the bikes would only arrive at dealers in very limited numbers...in the spring.
It wasn't Honda's fault, though--they still had lots of '09s sitting around, and that bike was a complete redesign from the '08. Still, I can't help but yearn for the days when nearly every year brought dramatic changes--the '80s and early '90s was the heyday for this--and nearly every year most serious riders would pop for a new ride (or two.) With the MSRP on the big bikes eclipsing $7,000, nowadays only riders who routinely sport top-hats and monocles can afford to buy bikes in the volume that regular guys did a few years ago.
All that said, the new rides from Honda and Suzuki still look plenty awesome. I don't think 2011 is a new-bike year for me (my '08 is still going strong,) but these new machines still do fire up the imagination...if not quite as much as they used to.

Supermoto fan or not, you've got to love the way Jim Huebner captured a racer backin' it in at the Xtreme Outlaws race at the Grand Sierra Resort last weekend.
And although this photo wasn't taken by Jim, I included it here because it gives you a taste of the next big thing in motorsports: freestyle supermoto.
It's said that freestyle supermoto pilots will be taking over ramps and skateparks alike in the coming months, so tell everyone you saw it on mx775.com first.
And give yourself some mental bonus points if you know this freestyle supermoto pioneer...
Oh, and check out more of Jim's photos on our message board or on his Flickr page.

You've got to love untouched racetracks...especially those constructed in the parking lot of a high-rise hotel and casino.

This week at Exit 28, Jim Huebner caught Aron Harvey drifting through a rhythm section...
And either Jim is also a Photoshop expert, or else he caught Paul Mudd returning to his racetrack roots with a feet-up slide through a right-hander.
