Supercross Behind The Dream Season 2 Episode 1. Monster Energy Supercross is widely considered one of the most physically demanding sports on the planet. Professional riders must navigate man-made tracks filled with upwards of 50 jumps and other technical obstacles aboard 240-pound motorcycles, all while battling alongside 21 riders in search of one common goal: victory.
While race wins and the ultimate prize of an Monster Energy Supercross Championship motivate riders to be at their best each and every week, the dedication, sacrifices, and overall risk necessary to succeed in the sport are enough to test any athlete’s will.
Episode 1
Supercross Behind The Dream Episode 2 puts the spotlight on RCH Soaring Eagle/Jimmy John’s Factory Suzuki rider Ken Roczen, who made the first statement of the season by winning the opening race in Anaheim and followed that up with a second win in Anaheim two weeks later to grab early control of the championship. The 2015 season is the German’s second in the 450SX Class and also marks his first with the Ricky Carmichael and Carey Hart owned race team. In its first two years of Monster Energy Supercross competition RCH Racing saw mixed results, but in signing Roczen, a rising star in the sport, title aspirations became a reality and the new partnership achieved success immediately in their first race together.
Behind the Dream gives insight into the bond between Roczen and his father, the relationship he has with his trainer Aldon Baker, and the mentoring that comes from team owners Carmichael and Hart.
In addition to Roczen, the second episode of Behind the Dream will also profile Vicky Golden, the sport’s groundbreaking female athlete. Golden made a name for herself by achieving success at the X Games, winning three consecutive gold medals in Women’s Super X. However, she took her success to new levels by becoming the first woman in the sport’s history to commit to racing full time against men. Golden embarked on the Ricky Carmichael Road to Supercross during the 2014 AMSOIL Arenacross season, ultimately becoming the first woman to complete the program and officially earn a 250SX Class endorsement to compete in Monster Energy Supercross. This season, Golden is continuing her dream and is preparing for her ultimate goal of attempting to qualify for a Monster Energy Supercross race in Arlington, Texas, on February 14. By doing so, Golden will become the first endorsed female rider to attempt to qualify for a race, adding to her already incredible legacy. For Golden, this is the opportunity of a lifetime and she has every intention of taking full advantage of it.
