We’re only 3 rounds into the 17-round schedule and we’ve already got more than enough to keep us busy talking at the Monster Cooler at school or work. (Can you imagine if anyone else at school or work actually paid attention to motocross?!) After having the same winners

Faces at the Races | San Diego SX | Leatt | MX101 Photos and Captions by Billy Rainford It felt great to be at a Monster Energy AMA Supercross race again this past weekend in San Diego.

I tried as hard as I could to get up extra early and start typing, but we stayed up late with a few Canadians we found here in Menifee, California, telling stories and having more than a few laughs.
