Old school pitbike races – Honda SL70 and XR75
October 31st, 2008 · No Comments · Events, Racing, Vintage
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. [...]
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 [...]

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 haven’t really kept up with the World GP scene and so wasn’t aware that freecaster.tv already have video highlights of all the GPs on online. According to the release: The FIM Motocross World Championship promoter Youthstream and the online [...]

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 [...]

In less than a year we’ve gone [...]
