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. Truthfully, it was looking like it would be a struggle to have a snowless track for round 5 of the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals…in July! We spoke with Gopher Dunes’ Derek Schuster this morning
Photo Report: 2015 Detroit SX Photos and captions by Billy Rainford With live television coverage these days, it’s hard to come up with a ‘race report’ that won’t be more of the same. With that in mind – and the fact that it’s now Wednesday – I thought I’d try something different for this event. The race was a few days ago now, so let’s see what the individual riders
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. The city looks to be undergoing
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. This whole scenario has taken that idea to the next level and turned the RCSX into an annual
A Few Photos from Club MX Today Photos and captions by Billy Rainford As this crazy two-week moto tour comes closer to an end, I find myself at the beautiful motocross facility called Club MX in Chesterfield, South Carolina. If you’re wondering if it’s that one you passed on your way somewhere…forget about it. Club MX is nestled in a part of Gamecock State that rarely sees interstate traffic. I
A Few Photos from WW Ranch in Jacksonville, Florida Photos and captions by Billy Rainford We were sitting around GPF the other day when I asked where Jeremy Medaglia had been riding that day because he wasn’t at GPF with a lot of the other riders. I was told they had gone to this new track over by Jacksonville. When Jeremy and Shawn Robinson returned, Jeremy raved about the place
Photos from Wednesday at GPF By Billy Rainford Remember yesterday when I half jokingly said I had heat stroke? Well, it turns out I was actually fighting some sort of flu bug. I’m the guy who swears up and down that he hasn’t thrown up or had the flu since…I can’t even remember. Well, now I know when the last time was. Anyway, there are worse places to feel under
GPF – On a Tuesday… Photos and captions by Billy Rainford The weather…oh, the weather. It finally cooperated today and I have the near heat exhaustion to prove it. It hit 80 degrees/24 C here at the Georgia Practice Facility (GPF). That meant I figured I’d try to get all my sun in one day. That’s what I like about me…I never learn. Anyway, with the beautiful weather came the
Faces at the Races: Atlanta 2 SX By Billy Rainford The second of two Atlanta rounds of the 2015 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series took place in a packed Georgia Dome in downtown Atlanta. This was the first Supercross I’ve been able to attend so I was pretty excited to get back behind the lens to shoot this race. Racing has been amazing and there are always a few riders
Wilkes-Barre Amsoil AX Photo Report Photos by Mitch Goheen Captions by Billy Rainford Just Giver Productions‘ Mitch Goheen worked double duty again this past weekend in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania – not only did he race the amateur program, but he also threw on a stylish photographer’s vest for us and snapped shots of Pro Day too.
