Was it the Brazillian flavor? The speed stripes? Or just the fact that it was labeled No.1? Who knows! THANK YOU all for voting!
The winning -273 / kiska design, by an overwhelming majority is no. 1, and we hope to see it bangin wheels at ARCA races throughout 2010.

We were happy to spot Nelson Piquet Jr. in the -273 Corp T recently.

By the way, if the page looks a little weird today, refresh it and it should be better. We have been doing some .css tweaks over the last few days (thanks for the help on the margin issue steve!)  to make the site a bit sharper.

Cairoli, the reigning MX1 World Champion and the latest recruit to the Red Bull Factory Racing squad rode the ground-breaking bike to victory in the first two of three finals and was third in the last race for a clear overall victory. “It was a fantastic start for me and I enjoyed riding the 350 bike. Today I wanted to do some tests to see how it went at the start and everything went well for me. I’m happy with the bike and the results today and its always a terrific atmosphere here at Mantova,” Cairoli said.

The results were a great start to the 2010 racing activity for KTM and the factory riders following the official factory team launch and presentation of the new KTM 350 SX-F bike at a reception on Saturday in Mantova. The latest Orange racer features an all new chassis and frame and a pro lever linkage system for increased controllability and has been developed by the KTM R&D department in close consultation with Stefan Everts, with the design done by Kiska.

KTM teammate Shaun Simpson, who missed much of last year because of injury, made a triumphant start to the season on board the latest KTM 250 SX-F, by being well up with the bigger 450 machines in the race format which combines both MX1 and MX2.

Marvin Musquin, KTM’s MX2 world champion moved up the ranks as the day progressed to finish behind teammate Simpson in second place on the final podium.

Thanks to YannB for the photos

The supercross season this year kicked off with even more drama than usual with the two main contenders colliding and both injuring themselves, Stewart scrubbing under Partridge and getting landed on and some new names in the 450 class battling for the top spots. You can catch news of all the action here, and if you want to watch the races, for those of us living outside of America you can find torrents of the races here.

Some great photos from the 2010 Dakar rally which took place in South America this year. More here. Looks like it would be incredible to ride there, the terrain is spectacular.

From Monsieur Treluyer. Nice ride/detailing.

Never seen anything quite like this before. Love to give it a try! Outfit choice seems important. I’d have gone each-way on the orange/white bloke in the next post down. Not sure how to say each-way in Japanese though?

…so when Arai Helmets chose PJ over Lewis Hamilton for the cover of their 2010 UK Catalog, PJ felt it was only right he stopped by to console the former F1 World Champion, who was featured on the back cover.

-273 went along for the ride.

Big Thanks to Lamborghini and Giorgio Sanna for the test…PJ

A champion lost, a championship won. Andre Lotterer.

Franck Montagny stars at Peugeot Rencontres Meet at Lemans, where fans, club racers, France’s Prime Minister and -273 had passenger rides in the LM winning 908 HDi FAP prototype…

Riders basically scrub the jump in order to stay as low as possible. On some jumps going high you waste a lot of time so the quicker you can touch back down the quicker you can get back on the gas. The undisputed king of the scrub is still James ‘Bubba’ Stewart who really pioneered the move. To this day it is still often called the bubba scrub, even though he apparently doesn’t like being called Bubba anymore. Not a bad claim to fame though. It seems there are basically two different ways to do it. One technique is when the body is super offset to the bike axis with one leg straight, the other technique is you keep your two feet on the pegs, turn the bar opposite and crook your elbows which lets you keep your feet on the peg. Anyway, below I have collected the best photos I could find of dudes scrubbing.

Unrelated, but this tune is dope: Blu_Ft_Co$$-City_Of_Los(t)_Ang(e)les…

There are not many things in life as fun as tearing it around on a dirt bike. Despite having been riding/racing since I was 4 years old, I haven’t really ridden at all recently for one reason or another, I think no more than twice in the last 5 years and after being a spectator so often recently, on that bike, on that surface, man was it good to be back!
