We just heard from a very solid source that three riders have a chance to race their way into the 2008 X Games Supermoto event without having get a special invitation. The opening XTRM/AMA Supermoto series race will be the place to earn a spot for X. The top finishing rider in each of the three classes not already invited to the X Games will get that golden ticket to race X if he or she to accepts – but who wouldn’t. This means three riders, one from each class

Still waiting for an official confirmation but that is the word on the street.

[smrscott]

That is not the complete list - there will be 17 invites and possibly 3 invites taken from the first XTRM/AMA Round

And van den Bosh is not going to come over after all

Can someone please explain why reed is on that list?? WTF? He doesn't even support the series.......

 

[smrscott]

No support but ESPN does not care about support - just the fact he's the current 450 Supercross Champion

Rumor is he will be riding a Suzuki
