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 [...]

I’ve been working on some updates to the site, in an effort to make it friendlier for readers. I’ve got more to do, but the changes I made this round are:
Consolidated “Comment” links – There is only one comment link now, and it always goes to the same place. The old way had two links [...]

David Clabaugh, owner of Thunder Valley MX, and the NPG put on the first-ever night-time AMA MX National. The lighting was tough on some of the riders, and it wasn’t perfect. [...]

This message came via e-mail from my friend Rick Salazar in southern California. With Rick’s permission I reprint it here, in its entirety. There’s some good stuff at the Super Hunky site. I just ordered a copy of “Monkey Butt” and some posters.
BTW, I did this post back in May when I first heard rumors [...]
