Still riding high on the success I had shooting the Day in the Dirt event, I once again grabbed the camera and made the trek up to the Anaheim Stadium for the opening round of the 2011 Supercross series. Truth be told, with or without camera, this was a race I wouldn’t have missed. For those that don’t already know, I’ve beem an avid fan/rider/racer of motocross since I was just a wee little lad in the early ’80s and in those 30 or so years, I can’t remember a Supercross or Motocross series with more hype and excitement leading up to it. This really was the perfect storm with a score of riders that could all feasibly end up on the top step of the podium at night’s end, something the sport hasn’t seen in decades. The racing did not disappoint and gave a much anticipated glimpse into what the 2011 season had in store.

Below you’ll find some of the pictures I took and be sure to check out the full 2011 A1 SX Gallery for all the best pics.
