2011 Supercross Season[link]

The 2011 season has been a 5 way battle between Dungey, Ryan Villopoto, James Stewart, Jr., Chad Reed, and Trey Canard. Dungey has finished consistently with the exception of round 5 where a derailed chain cost him his second consecutive fim world supercross championship. heading into the outdoors in 2011 there was a lot of controversy whether or not Dungey could race against a very fast and competitive Chad Reed and a 3 time lites outdoor champ Ryan Villopoto. Ryan Dungey through the 2011 nationals has won 3 overalls and trails season points leader ryan villopoto by just 7 points. the reasoning for being 2nd in the overall standings is because of a blown engine at freestone costing him valuable points. Ryan is finishing up his career at Suzuki with one final event at the Motocross of Nations and is highly thought he will rejoin his former coach Roger Decoster aboard a KTM 450 SXFbut he is still a free agent to other. ryan dungey is on ktm now and was coming 2nd in the 2012 fim supercross but injury led him to no racing in seattle teams.^[1]

Christophe Pourcel (born August 16, 1988 in Marseille), is a French motocross rider, and winner of the 2006 FIM MX2 World Motocross Championships.^[1]

Pourcel started international motocross racing in 2004, and soon made a name for himself on the circuit. He qualified for every MX2 race even though he rode a 125cc machine, and raced against 250cc machines. He ended his first season in fifth place, winning one race in the Czech Republic along the way. In 2006, he and his brother Sébastien became official Kawasaki riders on the GPKR Team, which was started by their father, Roger, and Patrick Gelade. In 2006 he won the FIM MX2 Motocross World Championship, becoming the eighth Frenchman to win a Motocross World Championship and the third youngest rider ever to win one. After competing in the MX2 class in 2007 Pourcel suffered a catastrophic crash at the MXGP in Ireland, fracturing his sacrum, and causing partial paralysis. After spending 2008 recovering, he competed in the AMA Supercross and Motocross series.

On March 28, 2009, Pourcel won the championship in the AMA Lites East Supercross, and later finished second overall in the 250 class of the 2009 AMA Motocross Championship.^[2] He ended up in the third spot after a crash at the last round at pala raceway in the 2010 250 AMA Motocross 250 Championship.

Ashley Fiolek (born October 22, 1990) is a deaf motocross racer in the Women's Motocross Association.^[1] Racing with numberplate 67, she was the 2008 WMA Pro National champion after her first professional win at the WMA Pro National Hangtown.^[2] She also won many races in the 2009 season, including Moto 1 at Hangtown and both motos at Glen Helen.^[3] She repeated as 2009 WMA Pro National Champion by finishing 7th at Steel City Raceway in Delmont, Pennsylvania on September 5, 2009. She finished this race in pain with a collarbone fracture due to a spill during the race.

Early life[link]

Fiolek was born on October 22, 1990 in Dearborn, Michigan and has been deaf since birth. Fiolek's family moved to St. Augustine, Florida so she could attend the Florida School for the Deaf and Blind, the largest school of this type in the United States. At the school, she studied ballet, ran track, and played basketball. When Fiolek finished eighth grade, her parents decided to begin homeschooling her.^[4]

As a child, she used to ride on the front of her mother's 4-wheeler or her father's bike. Her family often went to her Grandfather's house in Northern Michigan and rode through the woods for hours. Around the age of three, Fiolek's parents gave her a Yamaha PW50, a bike suitable for very young riders. She did not use the bike very often; she had trouble with the training wheels and preferred to ride with her parents.^[5]

Career[link]

Fiolek began racing at age seven.^[3][6] In April 2010 Fiolek published her first book, Kicking Up Dirt,^[7] with It Books, co-written with journalist Caroline Ryder (HarperCollins Publishers). In May 2011, Fiolek and her motocross riding were featured in a commercial for Red Bull. She is the sixth athlete sponsored by Red Bull to appear in a commercial for the energy drink.^[8]

X Games[link]

In 2009, Fiolek won her first X-Games gold medal in Women's Moto X Super X at X-Games 15.^[9] Fiolek won her second consecutive X-Games Gold Medal in Super X Women's on July 31, 2010 at X-Games 16.

In 2011, at X-Games 17, Fiolek crashed during practice and was knocked unconscious. Doctors determined she would be unable to compete.
