Faces at the Races|Pleasant Valley Photo Gallery|Presented by Freedom Cycle By Billy Rainford There’s just never enough time in a week during racing season…even less so when you’re on the road. It’s already Thursday ad I haven’t posted ‘Faces at the Races‘ yet. Because it’s so late, we’ll just have to make do with a Faces Photo Gallery this week. My favourite part about doing these things is writing the
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.

It’s time for our weekly look at the people under the helmets and around the race track. I had to leave Regina, eventually, so this week’s ‘Faces’ is a little later than we
Faces at the Races|Calgary Round 3 By Billy Rainford Photos by Bigwave and Jeff McConkey It’s time for our weekly look under the helmets in our favourite column, ‘Faces at the Races.’ Here’s round 3 of the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals at Wild Rose MX Park in Calgary, Alberta.

Faces at the Races|Nanaimo Round 2 By Billy Rainford Photos by Bigwave and Emily Nicholson It’s that time again! Time to have a look inside and under the helmets at the people who make the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals as enjoyable a time at professional races you can possibly have. ‘Emily the Intern’ took over some of the camera duties for this, so a special thank you to her for

Faces at the Races|New Jersey SX Photos and Captions by Billy Rainford I had a lot of fun posting ‘Faces’ last week, so I wanted to get to it right away this week after round 16 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Driving the distances we do to get to these great events can get tiresome, but then the racing starts and you get
