 Those were Specialized SXs (not trail). SX "used to" stand for SuperCross.

 Those pinkbike bells look awesome. Hill and Fairclouth both are riding Specialized SX Trail.
flag hucker13 (May 24, 2009 at 12:32)
 Nope, they're on the normal SX, not the SX Trail.
flag bikerofestacada (Jul 16, 2009 at 20:33)
 there's no such thing as an SX, only a SX Trail 1, and an SX Trail 2

Next time you try to correct someone make sure your facts are right.

 brendan and sam killed it! super faast, both had a big weekend!

i dont like how every one focuses on the pro's though, sure there fast, but there is a ton of killer juniours that were there and are coming up that are stupid fast! as example that Rude kid for cali i believe hes 14,and brad zdriluk who is 16, both had crazy times, and brad ended up winning, everyone there should be recognized from every category
