Rider: Blake Baggett

Another rider who was a distinguished amateur and professional motocross champion is Blake Baggett, who was undoubtedly one of the toughest competitors in the motocross series. In his amateur years, Blake won the Loretta Lynn’s National Championship every year for ten years straight, starting with the 50cc class for four to six-year-olds. Although he placed second and third many times, his victories didn’t come until his later years, where he won the Schoolboy Two class and then the 250 A class a year later, leading into his professional rookie season. Securing a ride with Rockstar Suzuki in his rookie year, Blake raced in the 250sx East, where he managed to secure one win and multiple top-five finishes. He only raced in three outdoor races that same year due to an injury sustained at Budds Creek. The following year presented an opportunity to ride for Pro Circuit Kawasaki, marking the beginning of a flourishing career. With multiple wins in the 2011 motocross series, he narrowly missed the championship, finishing behind series winner Dean Wilson and Tyla Rattray, both of whom were his teammates. In 2012, he clinched the pro motocross series title, noted for his incredible come-from-behind wins, particularly in the second motos, where he showcased remarkable speed late in the races. Upon moving up to the 450 class, he continued to exhibit a hard-charging nature in the motocross series. He led in points multiple times, notably in 2017, when he appeared poised to win the championship again. However, a crash resulted in torn ligaments in his thumb. Despite continuing to race with the injury, he eventually fell to third in points, behind Marvin Musquin and series winner Eli Tomac. Throughout his career, Blake didn’t finish every series but managed to line up at the gate at least once every year he was a professional. He battled through injuries and was, by far, one of the toughest riders on the track. Following a bit of controversy with his team in his final season, Blake decided to retire and focus on his son, Braeker, who is now winning in the pee-wee classes. Recently, we saw Blake return to the track after three years of not riding.

HEADED BACK EAST

After a break for the East riders and a pause in racing last weekend, we head to Foxborough for a continuation of the 250 East Coast series. We left off with Cameron McAdoo holding a two-point lead over KTM’s Tom Vialle, and an eleven-point lead over the third-place rider, Pierce Brown. Haiden Deegan has faced some challenges early in the season and currently sits in fourth, sixteen points behind McAdoo. Although he may not have the most wins this season, Cameron McAdoo has been the most consistent thus far. It’s shaping up to be a promising year for him, especially after being plagued with horrendous crashes and injuries the previous year. Remember, Austin Forkner was looking to have a great season after winning the first round, but a crash in Arlington sidelined him for the season. This incident has opened the door for McAdoo, but the rest of the season won’t be easy, as many riders are eager to secure wins before the season’s close.

450 CHAMPIONSHIP GETTING TIGHT

Before the weekend off, the twelfth round of the Supercross series featured a triple crown event in St. Louis, where Jett Lawrence, who had a significant points lead heading in, encountered some misfortune. He won the second of three main events but was docked two positions for jumping on a Red Cross flag (which controversial or not, it is a safety issue and the rules must be enforced). The controversy centered around where the flag was being held, but of the first five guys over the line, Eli Tomac saw it and did not jump. People demanded that the AMA wave the Red Cross flag  in the future, but if they wave the all white flag with a red cross on it, there would be a good chance that the riders not see the red part and just mistake it for the white flag , The fans wanted the flg to be moved to the other sid eof the finish line jump so it would be more visible, but that would make the riders go to the right side of the jump, where it was likely that the trouble was—although it had been moved off the track.

In the third and final main event, Justin Barcia, defending the inside line from Vince Friese and carrying excessive speed, collided with Lawrence as he cut down off the berm early to pass his brother, Hunter, causing Jett to fall hard. Visibly shaken, Jett remounted but finished near the back, placing him eighth overall for the night. This incident benefitted Star Racing Yamaha’s Cooper Webb, who finished second and closed the gap from 16 points going into St. Louis to 8 point leaving St. Louis.

MXPERTS에게 물어보세요: 신비한 포크 오일 누출

신비한 포크 오일 누출

친애하는 MXperts,
저는 매우 트릭이 많은 Kawasaki KX250F를 만들려고 노력하고 있습니다. 나는 완전히 새로운 데칼 웍스 그래픽을 디자인하고, Luxon 트리플 클램프를 구입하고, 기존 Honda CRF250에 맞는 남은 티타늄 볼트를 모두 사용했습니다. 그런데 처음 타고 가는데 기름이 새기 시작했어요. 포크 씰이 새는 것을 보았지만 포크 러그는 새지 않았습니다. 이것이 무엇이라고 생각하시나요?

자전거 문제를 진단하는 가장 큰 단서는 오래된 자전거에서 "남은 티타늄 볼트를 모두 사용했다"고 말했을 때였습니다. 항상 자전거와 함께 제공된 동일한 길이의 포크 가드 볼트를 사용하는 것이 매우 중요합니다. 남은 티타늄 포크 가드 볼트가 기본 Kawasaki KX250F 볼트보다 길면 포크 러그를 통해 연장되어 포크 튜브에 부딪혀 찌그러질 수 있습니다. 이는 포크 다리를 손상시킬 뿐만 아니라 접착 및 나사로 고정된 부착 시스템을 파손시킵니다. 찌그러진 부분을 통해 포크 오일이 흘러나올 수 있습니다. 자격을 갖춘 서스펜션 기술자가 양쪽 포크 다리를 점검할 때까지 자전거를 타지 마십시오. 포크 다리가 찌그러진 경우 포크 다리를 교체해야 합니다.
