Slaw Dog
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 99.8% accuracy rate in Monster Energy Supercross, Slaw is back to bring you some flaming hot bold predictions for the ENTIRE 11 round AMA Pro Motocross Championship. Stay tuned all summer long.
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, I will review my predictions from Hangtown before we get into Thunder Valley.
Prediction | Jett Goes 1-1
Man, Sexton’s injury sucks for everyone. Him. The team. The series. We, the fans. EVERYONE! With Sexton out, I think Jett goes 1-1 again. This may be a long summer for the 450 Class.
Going to be a long summer for the boys in the 450 Class.
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Prediction | Vohland Overall Podium
This is basically Maximus’ home track. He feels good here. He felt good last weekend at Fox Raceway. He will be on the overall podium. Stamp that shish.
Yeah…… about that.
Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.
Prediction | Hymas Top 8
Probably not what Chance wanted at the opening round, but man, this class is deep. A bad start and you’re toast. I think he rebounds this weekend with a top 8 finish.
Give the kid some time, he’s gonna be good.
Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.
Prediction | Shimoda Overall Podium
I just got a feeling about this.
Yeah…… about that.
Slawdiction: 0 out of 10.
Prediction | Webb Overall Podium
He dang near landed on the podium with only riding like twice before the opener. He’s got some seat time now. Overall podium time!
When you hot, you hot.
Slawdiction: 100 out of 10.
Onto Thunder Valley, the Crown Jewel of the series.
Tom Vialle Moto Win
Yep, going out on a bun here. This dude has speed for days, and I think Thunder Valley suits his style and background more than Fox and Hangtown. Look for a moto win this weekend.
Marchbanks Top 5 Overall
Hey, they don’t call them flaming hot bold predictions for no reason. Marchbanks moving up to the 450 Class this weekend and while he probably doesn’t have a ton of time on the bike, I think he goes top five overall.
Jett/Hunter Take Overalls Again
Bold, I know.
AP, Overall Podium
Man, tough break for the fan fav last weekend. He HAD the overall podium. I think he bounces back this weekend snags a third.
Altitude is Mentioned 1000 Times
Mile High, boys!
