Vital MX Pit Bits: 2024 Nashville Supercross

Justin Barcia sure stood out on track over the weekend. Partially because of his excellent result and the very...very bright pink Troy Lee Designs gear. Octopi Media

However, he stood out for another reason to us. After struggling with his suspension throughout the season, he is now on a KYB-esque cartridge kit. Although, it looks as if the Austrian-trio has come up with their own fork/cartridge cap for this conversion fork. Octopi Media

Another look at the fork cap and a peak at the modified production shock, which we hear has a KYB piston inside. Octopi Media

Country singer Redferrin used to race amateur moto and even Arenacross, while also shooting videos for some media outlets. Octopi Media

Nashville was host to the St. Jude Race to Stop Cancer round this year. With nearly every team and gear company getting in on the action. All of the custom gear and plastic/graphics from this round is auctioned off to raise funds for St. Jude's cancer research. Octopi Media

Triumph might be a young brand in the motocross scene, but they still gave their own take on the St. Jude night. Octopi Media

Jalek Swoll's #33 Triumph TF250X was the sole bike under the tent as it was announced on Friday that the team and Evan Ferry had parted ways. As of now, it sounds like they will finish out the last two rounds of East coast with just Jalek Swoll, then continue into Pro Motocross with Swoll and Joey Savatgy. No third rider will be added as of now.

SKDA brought out a clean but unique look for Triumph. Octopi Media

A peek at team's new rig they bought brand new. We hear there's a second one in the works for 2025? Octopi Media

Yeehaw. Octopi Media

Nashville bringing out the cowboy spirit at all ages. Octopi Media

Astronaut. Octopi Media

The ClubMX team always has unique looks on unique nights. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

The team had a cool gunmetal Excel rim and Haan hub combo. Octopi Media

Love Moto, Stop Cancer. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

Luxon MX made some custom pink triple clamps for the weekend. Octopi Media

The team had blank forks this weekend, as Enzo Racing parted ways with supporting the team ahead of Nashville. On press day, the bikes had Zipp fork stickers, but back to blank on race day. We'll see where this goes. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

Kachow! Octopi Media

Max Anstie's child is a big Cars fan, so this the Lightning McQueen theme. Octopi Media

That's...unique... Octopi Media

Again, SKDA pulling off the unique ideas. Octopi Media

Dean Wilson with the Sesame Street design under the Firepower Honda tent. Octopi Media

"Sketch Street" now that's a good one. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

Elmo, you okay? Octopi Media

FULL SEND. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

Ken Roczen's machine, before it was up in smoke and ejecting its rider. Octopi Media

Sadly, Kawasaki was the main OEM that didn't really participate in St. Jude night, but their riders were able to get a few things together. Octopi Media

Alpinestars did a great job this year. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

Again, nice to see Brian Kranz back at the races. Octopi Media

Goggles for AC. Octopi Media

Octopi Media

Now that's a trophy. Octopi Media

Masterpool's HBI Kawasaki KX450 had a unique sponsor with Citrific at Nashville. Octopi Media

DeCal Works dialed in the Rock River team for St. Jude. Octopi Media

Love the reflective look. Octopi Media

Grant Harlan in action. Octopi Media

Lots of the gear and graphics featured drawings from children at St. Jude. We loved the integration on Sexton's gear. Octopi Media

Malcolm Stewart's machine still features WP works suspension, not the KYB-esque suspension that Barcia and Sexton are on. Octopi Media

More St. Jude drawings. Octopi Media

Shane McElrath, like Coty Schock, holding down the stache game. Octopi Media

McElrath and Chisholm have been on KYB all year and we spotted an Enzo Racing compression adjuster on McElrath's shock. Octopi Media

The St. Jude's theme was lightly integrated into the Twisted Tea machines. Octopi Media

Coming into the race, Pro Circuit held both 250 red plates and left without either...damn... Octopi Media

Instead of tying the Feld-provided and mandatory leader lights around the fork tubes, the Pro Circuit team has built their own bracket and light to plug into the transponder that runs the lights. Super cool and clean. Octopi Media
