It’s a new year which means a new season of AMA Supercross action, starting with the 2013 season opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Calif.

They will be joined by riders such as James Stewart, Jake Weimer, Davi Millsaps, Josh Hill, Ken Roczen, Justin Brayton and many more from both the Supercross and Supercross Lites classes.
