Faces at the Races: East Rutherford SX Photos and captions by Billy Rainford In 2014, I had to choose between going to the inaugural Monster Energy AMA Supercross just over the bridge from NYC in East Rutherford, NJ or head down to the final round of Supercross in Las Vegas.

A Few Photos from Practice at Swiona MX By Billy Rainford I had the chance to head a little west of London to check out the TVR practice at Swiona MX in Iona Station on Saturday.

Photo Report – CMRC Season Opener at Gopher Dunes By Billy Rainford Photos by Tyler Spikman If you’re from the south, you just don’t understand how much this time of year means to us up here.

A Few Photos from Opening Weekend at Gopher Dunes By Billy Rainford Photos by Dawn McClintock After the winter we’ve suffered through here in Ontario, opening day at Gopher Dunes was a little later than normal.

Faces at the Races: 2015 Detroit SX Photos and captions by Billy Rainford It reminds me a lot of that Simpsons episode where Homer is afraid of New York City. For some reason, people still freak out a little at the prospect of heading into Detroit, Michigan. There’s really no reason to be nervous…there’s nothing there! Well, that was true a few years ago.

Ricky Carmichael Amateur SX – Photo Report Photos and captions by Billy Rainford The Ricky Carmichael Amateur SX (RCSX) has grown over the last few years, to say the least. It’s always been a very attractive prospect to be able to ride a supercross track after the Pros have had their turn.
