Daniel Reardon beats Chad Reed in a nail biting victory at Perth Monster Energy Super X

Woodstock Honda Thor Racing’s, Daniel Reardon, has taken out the third round of the Monster Energy Super X in an epic supercross battle between him and Monster Energy Kawasaki’s, Chad Reed, at the packed indoor Burswood Dome tonight.

The estimated crowd of 9,000 fans created an amazing atmosphere as they enjoyed all the thrills and spills the tight and fast full sized supercross track produced.

Reardon took the holeshot and rode consistently quick laps over the 10 lap final to hold off an incredibly fast and determined Reed. The race came right down to the wire with Reardon beating Reed by just under 0.6 seconds over the finish line. Reardon now leads the Open championship by two points over Reed.

The Perth round saw the debut of an all new Open class final format, the Round Robin, which pitted riders against each other in three different five lap heat races in order to progress to a ten lap final for positions one to twelve. There were nine heat races in total meaning that every rider raced different competitors in each of their three heats.

In an afternoon packed with cut-throat racing, it was the Australian riders who have returned from the USA to race in the series that dominated in all of their heat races with Chad Reed, Rockstar Honda Maxxima’s, Michael Byrne and Dan Reardon, cruising through their respective heats with the fastest lap times, demonstrating their superior skill over the challenging track.

Byrne came undone in the tricky whoops section in the final and was unable to finish, which left the podium open for CDR Rockstar Yamaha’s, Jay Marmont, who led the championship after the first round in Launceston to take third, with his team mate, Cheyne Boyd, returning to good form to finish fourth.

Reardon who was lightning fast all night was ecstatic about his win. “I am so pumped about the win and it was a lot of fun racing tonight. It was a great track and a great venue and I felt really good on the bike.”

Runner up Reed also commented on how impressive the venue, track and atmosphere was. “I want to thank the fans for coming out today and I am glad there was some great racing for them to enjoy. It was an awesome track and venue and congratulations to Dan on a great race.”

The 250cc class riders were tested on the technical track leaving championship front runner, Shift Motul Suzuki’s Matt Moss, to once again dominate the field in the eight lap final who finished over six seconds ahead of his closest competitor, Lawson Bopping and the USA’s Kyle Cunningham who finished third. JDR Motorsport MX Rad rider Ryan Marmont who went in to the round in second place went down hard on the whoops but got back up to finish the race in 12th.

The Monster Energy Super X will now make its way to Canberra for the fourth round on Saturday November 7.

Reed takes round 2 at Geelong

Monster Energy Kawasaki rider, Chad Reed, proved why he is riding with the number one plate today when he won three out of a possible four motos in the incredibly exciting Quad Challenge final, at the second round of the Monster Energy Super X Championship at the Skilled Stadium in Geelong.

Demonstrating his incredible speed and skill, Reed took the lead early and dominated for three of the four, five lap finals leaving other championship front runners to fight it out for second and third. A bad start in the second moto of the night left Reed to fight his way through the pack to clench second right at the finish line, behind Woodstock Honda Thor Racing’s Daniel Reardon.

Reardon was impressive in all four motos and got off to a great start and led early in nearly every race as well as claiming the holeshot in two. In the fourth and final race, Reardon was only one point behind Reed and a win would have given him first overall on a count back.

However the dual world supercross champion was too fast and determined and got off to an early lead for a dominant win.

“I have been sick all week so I am just really happy to be standing up here on the podium. The track made for great racing and Reed was just too strong,” said Reardon.

Young gun 17 year old Tye Simmonds proved why he is one to watch with a solid performance in all motos resulting in third overall for the Motorex KTM rider.

The expansive supercross track that covered the heralded AFL stadium has been dubbed by many in the in the industry as the best ever built in Australia and all riders were enjoying riding on it.

“It was a great track today and I was really motivated to race this week,” said Reed. “We had a lot of work to do last week for the first round in Launceston, but we worked our booty off even harder to get the bike right for this round and I have to say it felt awesome.”

“It was great to go racing today and I’m glad the fans got to enjoy it,” concluded Reed.

250cc class leader Matt Moss from the Shift Motul Suzuki team showed why he is going to be tough to beat this series with an extremely solid win in the 15 lap final. Moss took the holeshot and never looked back to finish way ahead of JDR Motorsport MX Rad’s Ryan Marmont, who claimed second with American rider Kyle Cunningham coming in third.

The Monster Energy Super X championship will now head across the country for its first ever indoor race at the Burswood Dome in Perth.

Sullen Clothing now in stock.

About Sullen,
We decided it would be best to finally let those interested know who we are, what we are about, and where we came from. Based out of Huntington Beach, California since 2001, sullen started like many other brands, with the simple goal to make clothes that appealed to those we share interesests with. None of us wanted the daily 9-5 and figured what better way than to do it on our own, little did we know how difficult this journey would have been. Starting in a small two bedroom apartment in Downtown Huntington Beach, our clothes were originally sold on our couch. Friends would come by on the way to the water or just to kick it, and they would usually always end up leaving with a shirt. After many years of struggle and many more to come, sullen has grown from a small guppy company into what it is today. Our goal now is to put out clothes that you can tell time and effort were put into, we're not trying to revolutionize our industry nor are we tired of what's out there, in fact many brands are throwing out amazing art which just makes our job more challenging. With Hand Drawn artwork by art director and popular West Coast tattoo artist, Ryan Smith, sullen's focus on quality and attention to detail has been reflected in its success. We pride ourself with a hands on approach to the action sports and music scene. With our dedication to the riders and bands, sullen has created a family within its own. Our reputable account base exceeds over 200 retail stores which range from core skate to boutiques. Ironically, we have defined ourself by consciously not defining ourself. When asked we simply respond "that we want to appeal to all and identify with none". We only hope you like the stuff we are doing as well. Thanks to our friends, the new ones we've made along the way, and our families who still support us even after countless tattoos and questionable life decisions we have made along the way.

Jay Marmont takes out first round of Monster Energy Super X

CDR Rockstar Yamaha’s Jay Marmont has won the first round of the highly anticipated 2009 Monster Energy Super X championship, beating dual world supercross champion, Chad Reed, and Woodstock Honda Thor Racing’s, Dan Reardon, in front of an 8,000 strong crowd at Launceston’s Aurora Stadium tonight.

Debuting his new Monster Energy backed Kawasaki , Reed got off to a less than perfect start with a bungle in the first lap of his heat race forcing him to leave the track and make his way to the final via the Last Chance Qualifier.

It was Reardon who got off to a flying start and dominated the whole ten laps of the first two races in the new Double Header final format to finish first, showing the speed that gained him third place in the US Open of Supercross in Las Vegas last weekend.

Marmont rode a strong and steady race to hold off his team mate Cheyne Boyd to finish second, whilst Reed who was pushed to the back of the pack on the first turn rode his way into fifth.

The second ten lap final brought out the best supercross racing ever seen in Australia with surprise packet Cool Air Conditioning Kawasaki’s, Cody Mackie, leading the race right up until the final turn of the last lap before coming off the bike in a prang with a fast and determined Reed, who pipped Marmont right under the finish arch to finish first.

Reardon got off to another flying start, but a mistake when he was out in front pushed him back into fourth position. The two consistent races by Marmont saw him take out the round overall with Reardon second and Reed third.

“I just wanted to get out and there and race all day and I had a lot of fun out there tonight. There is no better way to start the series and this gives me a lot of confidence for the second round in Geelong next week,” said Marmont.

A disappointed Reed who was sore from his crash in the heat said "It was a rough night for me. I had to go to last chance and come from the back in both races. Someone hit me from behind at the start in the heat race and came down on top of my elbow which put me out of the heat.

"It was extremely painful during both races - every bump it hurt so I had to be a bit cautious. I tried to be careful and not do anything silly but on the last lap I saw an opportunity to challenge for the race lead and I had to take it. I ended up winning the last race, which was pretty cool.”

The 250cc final also produced some action packed racing with defending champion, Shift Motul Suzuki’s Matt Moss, engaging in some bar to bar battles with US rider Kyle Cunningham and JDR Motorsports Ryan Marmont. Moss eventually won both of the Double Header races to take first whist Marmont finished second and Cunningham third.

The Monster Energy Super X will now make its way to Skilled Stadium in Geelong for the second round on Saturday October 24.
