AMA Supercross Finals

We got tickets to go see the AMA Supercross Finals in Vegas on May 2nd. We were really excited because we weren't able to go to the race here in Anaheim and the season was ending. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on tickets so when we found some that were a really good price we grabbed them.

We did the trip in a day so we didn't have to spend the money to stay the night out there. We left mid morning, Russell came with us. Tyaan made herself comfortable so the 4 hour drive didn't seem too bad. Russell was playing video games most of the way, so he was happy as well.


We got there and found our seats which were pretty good. It was really cool to see the track in person since we're used to watching on TV. The pits were open and we got to watch practice during the day. It was pretty hot when we got there, but it made the evening perfect once the sun was down. This is a picture of the track from our seats.


Russell, Ty & Jon


Ty and Jon in their Supercross hats!

Russ and Ty.


There was a show in the pits that Ty and I went out to watch. These guys were flipping and doing all kinds of stuff. It was pretty amazing! They did a show in the stadium in between races. At one time they had 3 motorcycles all doing back flips and in the air at the same time!


Jon and I during the races. It got pretty heated with the Reed vs. Stewart fans. We are Stewart fans, because he is by far the best rider, but in Vegas the Reed fans are overwhelming. Since this was finals and Stewart and Reed were 1st and 2nd in points it came down to this race to decide the season champion.

Here is Stewart during the race. He is amazing!!

Tyaan's sign. The "Reed...who is that guy" is totally funny. If you follow the series you'd realize how cute it was that she put it on there.

They put on a pretty good fireworks show when the race was over. Stewart won the championship (although not the race) which was AWESOME!! Reed didn't win the race OR the championship, although he tried to wreck Stewart because he's an idiot... but that was pretty awesome too.


Afterwards we drove home. It was a long, but really fun day. We got home early the next morning. Luckily Russell drove most of the way home so Jon could sleep. It was a really fun experience and we'll definitely have to make it to a race next season. Although we'll go to Anaheim. The drive is a lot shorter!! (only about 30 minutes)
