ICYMI | Catching Up with Logan Leitzel By Billy Rainford Logan Leitzel from Pennsylvania is the rider who owns the #20. I saw a lot of Logan over the winter months as he was in and out of Supercross competition the entire 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. He had to deal with a few issues but made the most of his time on the various tracks. We got to know the friendly
ICYMI | Catching Up with Yanick Boucher | Husqvarna By Billy Rainford Yanick Boucher is the hard-working rider from the fairly remote town of Hearst, Ontario. Whenever I mention Yanick, I always make sure to point out where he lives because it’s just so impressive to me that someone can make it as far in our sport and be from somewhere so removed from high level racing. Growing up, any time
ICYMI | Catching Up with Julien Benek By Billy Rainford In case you missed it, we caught up with Julien Benek while he’s down at SOBMX in South Carolina getting ready to race the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series on the Partzilla PRMX team.

ICYMI | Catching Up with Richard Taylor By Billy Rainford Richard Taylor is the big kid who first came up to dip his feet in the Canadian Motocross pool back in 2019 at Walton Raceway when he came up with his Suzuki 450 and raced the final race in our Canadian Triple Crown Series. Richard is currently getting ready for 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross at home and we got in touch with him to
ICYMI | Catching Up with Blair Nauta By Billy Rainford Blair Nauta is the friendly racer who grew up close to the Ontario/New York border in the small town of Wainfleet, which is near Niagara Falls. He spent his amateur racing days across that border in the USA. I remember Randy Wiebe talking about this fast kid who grew up racing over there but was about to head home to Canada for
ICYMI | Catching Up with Tallon Unger | Ryno Power Canada By Billy Rainford Tallon Unger is the Alberta rider with a ton of upside. He’s hard-working, young, disciplined, good with younger riders, and always heads out on the track first in practice. I really like that last one,. He had an interesting summer. Here’s a look at his official results in the 2021 Canadian Triple Crown MX Series: Here’s what
ICYMI | Catching Up with Jyire Mitchell | KTM Canada By Billy Rainford In case you missed it, we caught up with #41 Jyire Mitchell. We met Jyire Mitchell from Bermuda a couple years ago when he showed up at Walton Raceway and turned some heads. He came back to race the Supercross portion of the Canadian Triple Crown Series at Gopher Dunes. He looked good but went down hard awkwardly, ending his series.
ICYMI | Catching Up with Daniel Elmore By Billy Rainford In case you missed it, we caught up with Daniel Elmore from Telkwa, BC. Daniel has been on our radar since we first met him training down at Club MX in South Carolina a couple years ago. He’s the kind of rider who lets his riding on the track do the talking for him…he’s pretty quiet off the the track. Anyway, he
ICYMI | Catching Up with Dario Zecca | Troy Lee Designs Canada By Billy Rainford Dario Zecca is one of the good guys at the races. He loves to ride and race, and it’s riders like him who keep the sport alive. I have a special place in my heart for him because the name “Zecca” is etched in my brain from when I was a little kid at the
ICYMI | Catching Up with Guillaume St Cyr By Billy Rainford In case you missed it, we caught up with #25 Guillaume St Cyr: Two riders always remind me of our old friend, Jeff McConkey – Cade Clason is one and #25 Guillaume St Cyr is the other. Jeff always made sure Cade had enough Starburst candies on race days. In fact, Cade was staying at my house on the morning we got the news of
