Round 13 Seattle Supercross | Photo Report
April 11, 2018
by Dawn McClintock Well that was sure a mud fest! The Seattle supercross has always been notorious for being one of the most rutted out and weather effected tracks on the circuit. This year's event lived up to it's reputation and it became survival of the fittest for riders and what hardcore fans Seattle brings out for this too. Bikes were smoking and there wasn't really any lines to follow, some who were more aggressive chose to do jumps but for many, it was a game of roll and keep it on two wheels. Here's a look at the guys who slugged it out in Seattle. Hang tight because it looks like Minneapolis this weekend is going to be a snow storm.

Slugging it out in some off-road events during his down time maybe was a good idea for LaFountaine. | BrownDog Wilson photo
