Faces at the Races|Ulverton Round 6

Faces at the Races|Ulverton Round 6 By Billy Rainford Photos by Jeff McConkey and Bigwave Yikes, having Jeff shoot some photos at the races isn’t making these ‘Faces at the Races‘ columns any shorter! Once again, we set Jeff up with a camera and a general shooting setting to go along with it and off he went into the action. It’s time for our favourite column to write where we

Faces at the Races|Gopher Dunes National Round #5 By Billy Rainford Photos by Tyler Spikman, Jeff McConkey, and Bigwave Round 5 of the Rockstar Energy Drink MX Nationals took place at the famed sand track called Gopher Dunes in Courtland, Ontario, just 50 minutes from London.

Faces at the Races|2016 Red Bud National Photos and Captions by Jeff McConkey Red Bud is a bucket list item. If you’ve never been, plain and simple, you need to go.

Monday Morning Coffee

Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning! I barely have time to get this one in under the wire (Eastern Time, anyway) but I just love this logo that Dawn McClintock designed so much that I can’t skip the column. You ever have one of those mornings when you don’t remember shutting off your alarm? Well, I just had one. The problem is that I had a dentist
