"Wild" Wally is unquestionably the craziest, most spectacular rider in Endurocross racing. He's also probably the most crash prone. True to his form, Wally had an unorthodox start to his riding career, actually riding three-wheeled ATVs before a friend let him try a dirt bike. Two years later he had turned pro and began building his rep. In Endurocross, his results have never been as spectacular as his riding, but he's become an invaluable part of the show, anyway. At XG, he will add another degree of difficulty by debuting a bike custom-built by Christini, featuring two-wheel drive, and a KTM 300cc two-stroke engine stuffed into a Honda chassis. Expect Palmer to ride it wildly.

The defensive burden of guarding Kobe Bryant is taking a toll on Wally Szczerbiak's offense.
