These days, Josh is spending his time trying to make that same dream of becoming a champ possible for the riders on the team he
TLD Thursday Wallpapers: 2012 Walton National By Billy Rainford Since I have yet to get myself to a race this winter, I went back to the well and combined #tbt with the Troy Lee Designs Thursday Wallpapers again this week. I’m always trying to think of a theme, and this week is no different. We could play one of those, “Guess the connection between all these songs” sorta things. Would
Product Test: Rekluse EXP Core 3.0 Clutch Installation By Jeff McConkey Just before Christmas, DMX bossman, Bigwave Billy, texted me asking if I’d be interested in testing a new Rekluse clutch. I quickly jumped at the chance and replied almost instantly. Although I had never tried one in the past, I had heard nothing but good things about the product. My first thought was, “Oh no, I hope they
McThoughts: 250 East Lites Preview By Jeff McConkey The Monster Energy AMA East Lites is fast approaching. It just won’t be the same without its one and only Canadian stop in Toronto. I understand the call, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it. Atlanta gets 2 stops back-to-back which is cool. They get 77000-plus in the Georgia Dome, so it makes sense. Maybe I can talk Bigwave into getting me
McThoughts: San Diego SX By Jeff McConkey Round 6 took place this past Saturday night and the action was fantastic as always. San Diego will be the last West round for a while as the East Coast 250 series starts this weekend in Arlington, Texas.

A Few Nashville AX Photos Photos by Mitch Goheen Captions by Billy Rainford Mitch Goheen from Just Giver Productions made the trip down to Nashville, Tennessee, last weekend to compete in the Amsoil Arenacross Series Amateur Day racing.

McThoughts: A3 By Jeff McConkey Round 5 took place this past Saturday night and it didn’t disappoint. Sure, there was hardly and bumping, but there was another “flag” issue. No, not another black flag, but this time a red flag. Yes, red flags are fairly common in SX, but not on the 6th lap. It’s kind of funny, John Gallagher can make an instant black flag call on Chad Reed
