The Moto: Inside the Outdoors

Whole seasons and, championship aspirations, can be lost in as little as a single practice run, while underdogs and title holders trade places on the podium, as the 450 outdoors motocross season gets under way in Sacramento, California.

The 450 Moto, sees Ryan Dungey and Chad Reed battle it out for the overall lead. Rookie 250 sensation, Blake Baggett, shows his toughness and determination in the Texas heat.

Along with fast starts, good conditioning, and over all speed, family is just as an important to winning in motocross.

Tyla Rattray loves the heat. Broc Tickle looks to prove his worth. Kevin Windham continues to succeed despite his aging body and concerned family. All this and more come to a head at Budd's Creek.

KTM hired Rodger DeCoster away from the dominant Suzuki team to win a championship. In a show of support, his mechanics and technicians followed him into the unknown. With Mike Alessi's early season injury KTM's aspirations for a win are gone. KTM is forced to look to next year to finally win a championship that has eluded the dominant European bike company in America.

The battle for first in the 250 class rages on as Dean Wilson, Tyla Rattray, and Blake Baggett go blow for blow in both motos.
