2023 Atlanta Supercross: 5 Things to Watch

Based in St. George, Utah, Amped has quickly solidified themselves as the lead distributor for electric bikes, including our favorites, the Sur-Ron Light Bee and Talaria Sting, both of which you will now be able to demo at ALL Shred Tour stops. And we’ll even give you $100 off your next order when entering the code “vurbmoto” upon checkout.

Following a 93 percent accuracy rate in 2022, the most-read, most popular blog in Supercross is back for another season of flaming hot predictions. We are off to round 12 in Glendale.

As the greatest wrastler alive, Ric Flair, once said: “I’m the stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ and dealin’ son of a gun.”

As always, we will first review my amazing picks from Glendale before we get into Atlanta.

Prediction | Webb Fires Back

You know when I know Webb is feeling it? When he pulls out the finger gun salute. Pew. Pew. Webb won the last Triple Crown in Arlington and I think his consistency pulls him through again. Webb for the W and sole possession of the points lead.

That Eli guy is pretty good, eh?

Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.

Prediction | Roczen Wins One G… Main Event

Ken is really good in these shorter races. He dang near won a main last time in Arlington and I think the Indy win gave him enough confidence to pull out a W this weekend.

I really though Ken’s Indy win would kickstart (get it???) his season. It hasn’t really. Still, good year for ole Ken Dog.

Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.

Prediction | Bennick Takes Third Futures Win

Supercross Futures is back for the third round of the championship this weekend. Dax Bennick won the opening two rounds and I really don’t see why he can’t take a third victory this weekend. Lead Slaw Lock of the Week.

That JuJu kid is pretty good, eh?

Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.

Prediction | Jett Wins

Bold, I know.

Hey, they can’t all be bold.

Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.

Prediction | Barcia Podium

Love what I’m seeing from the Bammest of Bams this year. Is it me or is this the best we’ve seen Barcia in a long time? Yeah? No? Either way, podium for the Bam in Glendale.

Bam Bam good good this year. Great to see he’ll likely be sticking with GasGas for another two year. s

Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.

On to the ATL, the Crown Jewel of the series.

Sexton Stays Alive

Everyone has written Chase Sexton out of this title fight. Not Slaw. I think he still has a shot, even though its a long shot. He stays in the hunt with a win this weekend.
