NOTE: This video was originally uploaded in two parts in 2013, but the second part was taken down a few years ago for unknown reasons.
This is round 1 of the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, and the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Lites West Championship from Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA.
Returning contenders like Supercross rookies Ryan Villopoto, Josh Grant, and Broc Hepler, Tim Ferry, 2007 champ James Stewart, Ivan Tedesco, Andrew Short, Supercross Sophomores Josh Hill and Mike Alessi, Michael Byrne, Davi Millsaps, 2008 Supercross runner-up Kevin Windham, and defending champ Chad Reed battle it out for the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. This is Ryan Villopoto's rookie season in the Supercross class. Chad Reed runs the number 1 plate in a Supercross season for the first time since Jeremy McGrath in 2001. Josh Grant wins his one and only Supercross race and his first win in general since Detroit 2006 in the Supercross Lites class.
Returning Supercross Lites West contenders like Jake Weimer, Lites Sophomore Dan Reardon, Ryan Morais, Ryan Dungey, defending Lites East champ Trey Canard, Justin Brayton, Kyle Cunningham, and defending champ Jason Lawrence battle it out for the 2009 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Lites West Championship. This series features a season-long battle between Ryan Dungey and Jake Weimer.

Enjoy.
