ROUNDUP

UP: To Jamie Little, for busting out big. We always suspected the pretty supercross announcer was hiding something under the heavy jacket she sported on chilly evenings, but now that we’ve seen the February issue of FHM magazine, we know! The 25-year-old Southern Californian was featured on the cover and in a pictorial playing up her involvement in the Winter X Games. More than just a pretty face, Jamie this year graduated from live supercross announcing to ESPN television. That ought to get you to tune in!

DOWN: To Death, for taking the lives of two members of the motorcycle community in freak accidents. First, this past January, Mark Reynolds, 35, a rider rep for management firm OMS Sports, was savagely attacked by a mountain lion while riding his mountain bike in a park in Orange County, California. Then, just two weeks later, motocrosser Jason Ciarletta, 19, succumbed to head injuries suffered during a qualifying heat for the San Diego Supercross. His was the first fatality in the 31year history of the AMA Supercross series. Memorial funds for both victims have been established: Mark Reynolds Memorial Bikes for Needy Children Fund Nodaway Valley Bank, 4001 N. Belt Hwy., St. Joseph, MO 64506; and the Jason Ciarletta Memorial Fund, c/o Woman’s Auxiliary of Motocross/Supercross, Pro Circuit Racing, 2771 Wardlow Rd., Corona, CA 92882.
