Frid’Eh Update #8 Presented by FLY Racing By Dawn McClintock, Jeff McConkey, and Billy Rainford Welcome to week #8 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by Fly Racing. Dylan Kaelin‘s march to a top 10 number has been steady but not without its bumps. He has been plagued by injury over the past few years but has managed to keep a positive attitude and continue to work toward
Frid’Eh Update #7 Presented by Pelican By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Week #7 belongs to an American rider we’ve become close enough with to call one of our own. I’m, of course, talking about New York State’s favourite motocross ex-pat, Bobby Kiniry. In 2014 we got used to seeing Bobby sway from his usual #3 and look like #7 James Stewart. Tyler Medaglia has since taken over the #3
Frid’Eh Update #6 Presented by Dragon Alliance By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Frid’Eh Update #6 Presented by Dragon Alliance goes out to the rider from the USA who quickly became a fan favourite in Canada last summer. Of course, everyone already knew of all the accomplishments Josh Hill had acquired in his AMA racing, but a lot of the big-name riders who come north with hopes of claiming our
DMX Frid’Eh Update Presented by FXR By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #5 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by FXR. If you had to guess who #5 would be, most would get it right on their first try. It’s almost like it’s a career number for Fort Dodge, Iowa’s Teddy Maier. It just feels right when you get to the first round of the
DMX Frid’Eh Update #4 Presented by Dragon Alliance By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Week #4 belongs to one of the few riders who’ve headed north and currently hold a career number in the AMA. That’s a pretty big deal for the Rockstar Energy Drink MX Nationals. Rockstar OTSFF Yamaha’s Kyle Chisholm isn’t a stranger to Canadian motocross, though. If you take a look at the Past Champions over
DMX Frid’Eh Update #3 Presented by Rekluse By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Week #3 in 2015 belongs to the same rider it did in 2014 – Tyler Medaglia. The older of the two Medaglia Brothers is one of the most-liked and respected riders on the circuit. He’s great with the media, respectful to his fellow riders, but one of the fiercest competitors you’ll ever meet. Hard work and dedication
DMX Frid’Eh Update #2 Presented by Mongoose Machine By Jeff mcConkey, Dawn McClintock, and Billy Rainford Hello and welcome to the DMX Frid’Eh Update #2 this week presented by Mongoose Machine. Week #2 goes to the rider from California who came north to make the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals something to remember in 2014. Each week you knew #800 Smartop MotoConcepts rider Mike Alessi would have the speed to win,
DMX Frid’Eh Update #1 Presented by Fox Canada By Jeff McConkey, Dawn McClintock, and Billy Rainford Welcome to the first Direct Motocross Frid’Eh Update of 2015. 2014 was an amazing year for us here and we’re looking forward to keeping the ball rolling as we move into the second half of the decade. As we’re sure you’ve noticed, the site has been fully re-designed and redone for 2015.
Somehow we find ourselves with a 53rd Frid’Eh Update this year (It could be argued that ’53rd and 3rd’ was the first-ever ‘punk rock’ song). I (Billy) find myself driving home from the Great White Northern town of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and have no time to post anything of my own. With that in mind, we’d like to dedicate this Update to all of the readers who have helped keep
‘If you can’t be first, be last.’ That’s the motto some people go by. Well, I’m not sure if that’s a credo that 2014 #52 rider Derrick Barr lives by, but he is, indeed, the final rider of the 2014 season to have an Update dedicated to him. So congrats, Derrick. I don’t know a whole lot about Derrick but I remembered taking lots of photos the #797 Yamaha rider
