Last night I had the chance to watch the Swedish FIM Speedway Grand Prix on HD Theatre. It was my first time to see a complete speedway event.
What a cool race — the speed, color, action. A very action-packed format with lots of four-man, four-lap heat races, everybody full-on sideways, diving in and out. Excellent [...]

The useless dickheads who robbed the house were captured on security cameras. Please see the security [...]

Daytona – definitely the best SX of the year
March 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Events, Racing, Reviews
I’ll go out on a limb here and predict that Daytona is and will be the best SX race of the year. Mostly for all the reasons that make it the least Supercross-like of all the races — longer track, no 180-degree bowl turns, multiple soil types, varied obstacles, really rough.
What a wild get-off by [...]

Metro Racing, the classic motogear supplier, has joined our list of AMA survey sponsors. Metro is providing one of their standard, long-sleeve jerseys in the size and logo of your choice — a $30 value — as an incentive for one lucky winner.
This brings our total sponsors to four. I’m very pleased at the interest [...]

Recently my old school friend Ronnie Welch sent me a bunch of pictures from TVRC’s annual “King of the Ant Hill” race in Texas. If you were under the misguided belief that pitbike races were some new phenomenon, well, let me assure you that the only thing truly new in dirt biking is the backflip.
There [...]

MediaZone closes Moto Channel
October 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Events, Industry, Racing
Last week I got email notification that MediaZone is closing their Moto Channel. This is a big disappointment to me, as I just signed up for a 1-year subscription when I watched the MXdN on live video.
MediaZone will refund my subscription fee on a pro-rated basis, but the money isn’t really the problem. I’m disappointed [...]

MX Sports press conference Saturday
October 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Events, Racing
In today’s Racerhead column Davey Combs announced a press conference to be held tomorrow morning at the MGM Grand Hotel. Coombs will announce some of MX Sports’ plans for the 2009 Pro MX season. There have been a lot of discomfiting rumors flying about. Many sound far-fetched, to me. But you never know. Hopefully we’ll [...]

September 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Events
It’s time for the Motocross des Nations, the largest international motocross race in the world. I just signed up for the MediaZone coverage so I can watch the event live on Sunday morning.
I attended the Budds Creek event last year and had a blast. I wish I could go every year. My goal is to [...]
