Couch Potatoes Rejoice!
New Capcom Game To Cure Winter Boredom
Now you've got a legitimate reason to spend an entire weekend on the couch-Capcom's new MotoGP '07 racing game.
The new PlayStation 2 game features all the riders, bikes, teams and tracks from the 2007 season, and there's some cool extras as well.
SSB got a sneak peek and trial run, and we concluded that it is indeed, a MotoGP game for PlayStation 2. Until we have at least a 12-pack and six consecutive hours with it there isn't much more we can interject, though. It should be pretty good, though, judging from the brief time we spent on it.
We'll run a full version review as soon as possible, but if you simply can't wait to find out how long you can stoppie and if the crashes include blood, you can order it for $29.99 at www.capcom.com.
Screw Katrina
Racers Raise Money For Victims Of The Bitch's Blast
Race for Relief II, a fundraising lap marathon at Beaver Run Motorsports Complex in Pennsylvania, aided the U.S. Red Cross and victims of hurricane Katrina.
This year's winners were Scott Rosey, a WERA racer who finished 92 laps on his Triumph Daytona 675 in the expert class. His amazing performance bested the previous Race for Relief record of 87 laps posted by Keith Reed in 2005. In the novice class, track-day newcomer Zack Leroy completed a blistering 71 laps on his Suzuki GSX-R600. In total, the entrants raised $3000 to help out.
How about a Wheelie for Dean Victims event next?

DVD Of The Month
Set It Off
Full Throttle has re-released the video classic Set It Off from D-Aces. Watching the DVD was like taking a trip back in time to the beginning of stunt videos, before hand brakes, cages and digital video cameras. Footage of riders doing power wheelies on SRADs wearing full leathers brings back a certain bit of nostalgia. Back then all it took was two riders and a camera guy to make a successful video. While the stunts from 1998-2000 far from hold up against today's standards, they were revolutionary at that time. Newcomers to the sport should purchase this video to see how far stunt riding has come.
