Behind the Lens From The 2015 Detroit SX

With a deep sand section before the finish line jump, the riders had to be on their toes each and every lap.

Although the sand was tough on the riders, it did produce some pretty cool shots for the photographers.

Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki rider Joey Savatgy didn’t have the speed to win Detroit, but he did look very smooth on his way to third overall.

After sitting out the last few rounds with an injury, it was great to see Justin Brayton back on the track.

Kyle Chisholm had yet another great weekend in Detroit and finished just outside the top ten.

Jason Anderson put himself in a good position for the first few laps of the main event, but unfortunately a mistake while trying to pass Chad Reed resulted in a pretty good crash.

You have to feel bad for Jake Weimer; on the first lap of his semi-final he was forced to slow down in a section, then Trey Canard landed on him and broke Jake’s arm. Weimer had to remain in Detroit for a few days while they performed surgery to repair his fractured humorous bone.

The track inside Ford Field had a lot of jumps and rhythm sections that forced riders to stay focused every time they were on the track.

It’s hard to tell in this photo whether or not Marvin Musquin is purposely trying to miss the main rut or if he just made a small mistake. Either way, the 250SX East points leader rode smooth in Detroit and took home second place.

Right from the first lap of practice, Justin Bogle looked like he was on a different level than his competition. All of his aggression paid off as he grabbed the holeshot in the main event and never looked back.

Tim Ferry couldn’t have been too thrilled on his rider Trey Canard’s decision making in Detroit.

Eli Tomac styled his way to a very dominating win in the Motor City and moved himself into third in the 450SX points standings

As you can see here, Justin Bogle was very happy with his ride at round 12 of the series.

Every weekend these two gentlemen spend their days behind the scenes preparing the Pirelli Tires that riders like Chad Reed, Weston Peick and Andrew Short use at each race.

Here Chad Reed puts his Pirelli Tires to the test on his way to fourth in the main event.

Riders at home, if you want to know how to maintain maximum traction on flat corners, just study this photo of Ryan Dungey as he shows perfect form by weighting his outside footpeg.

This weekend was most likely Nick Wey’s final Supercross in front of his hometown Michigan fans. Nick has had a great career and his Michigan Mafia fans gave him a great send off.
