AURORA, III. (December 29, 2004) - The 2004-2005 THQ World Supercross GP/THQ AMA Supercross Series has been called everything from the 'perfect storm' to the 'most competitive ever.' Given the diversity of this year's field of talent, it may take a Hollywood screenwriter to find the right title.

The parody of this season parlays into the perfect script. Three riders, James Stewart, 19, Chad Reed, 22, and Ricky Carmichael, 25, have a combined 14 AMA National Championships. The next tier, Travis Pastrana, 21, Jeremy McGrath, 33, and Mike LaRocco, 33, add another 11 for a total of 25. Never before has a supercross season been composed of such accolades.

I've raced motocross since I was about four years old and what's so interesting is this kid. Take a look at this video and you'll know what I'm talking about. He's is only 19 years old.

I encourage all Neowins to watch this race on Sunday Jan 9th. I'm sure it'll be interesting.

Anaheim will receive next-day coverage on ESPN2 starting with the AMA 125 West Supercross race at noon and the main 250 race at 1:00 pm Eastern.

    • 'Animate controls and elements inside windows' affects the operation progress animations (e.g., when writing metadata to items) in Windows Vista; this animation does not appear if that option is disabled:
    • Yeah, thats a fair way to look at it especially on less powerful systems, maybe it can a make a difference. On my rig, I dont really notice anything, but if you measured it precisely, I'd have to give you that one
    • Yeah, I administrated a virtual desktop pool years ago during the Windows 7 days. There were a number of animations and effects that really killed performance. I setup a number of group policies to turn off all the things that make the desktop feel unresponsive. I didn't just blindly turn everything off, I turned things off that created a lot of motion, because that is where VDI struggles, but things that made the UI look pretty, but didn't use animation, I left turned on. Kind of a funny combination of settings to see Aero Glass and drop shadows enabled, but show window contents while dragging turned off, but hey, it is what worked.
    • It isn't fully a placebo. If a UI element uses a 0.25 second animation to appear, then removing the animation saves 0.25 seconds. That saved 0.25 seconds may not make any difference in how quickly you can click on something, but it will affect how quickly you can see it. Just depends on your goals.
    • I had to turn it off a long time ago on my work machine because virtual desktops were brutal when switching. Big thread about it on Microsoft forums. With animations off it's instant. Sucks as I had to uninstall Deskscapes as it requires animations but on my work machine productivity takes precedence.
