Frid’Eh Update #43 | Dario Zecca | Brought to You by Husqvarna Canada By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #43 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week brought to you by Husqvarna Motorcycles Canada. We’re coming to you this week from Ottawa where we’re gathered to pay our respects after the loss of our good friend Reece Rendall earlier in the week. We’re heading into the final weekend of racing
By Billy Rainford Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I hope you’re all reading this during a little downtime from visiting with your family and/or other people who are important in your life. Emily and I did the family visits Saturday and Sunday that took us from Waterloo to Burlington and now back home in London in perfect Fall weather. The weather is perfect again today to get out and do some two-wheel
By Billy Rainford Wow, I gained an entire day! I went through all of yesterday thinking it was Monday. I guess because we raced Friday and Saturday this past weekend I went into autopilot and figured it was Saturday and Sunday. I felt guilty about not doing a Monday Morning Coffee column yesterday because I went straight to a race recap article (Read it HERE) and now here I am
Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | September 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, humans. I’m sitting down typing this 4 hours post knee surgery. When inspiration calls I always pick up! So helloooo and welcome to September’s column! I feel that every personal challenge that I’ve faced and overcome along with every race/event that I’ve entered has prepared me for this moment, the “rebuild of my left knee.” I share
By Billy Rainford Well, this Monday Morning Coffee finds me in a Starbucks in Battle Creek, Michigan. It feels appropriate, since this weekend at the 2022 MXON was definitely a battle! Every year, we head into these things with the same thought: “We have the strongest team every assembled this time!” And to be honest, the team usually is great and we’ve got the best riders possible to represent the
By Billy Rainford Wow, I can still barely walk down stairs and I haven’t been on a Sur-Ron electric motorcycle in 2 days! By almost all standards, I cycle a lot, but it’s apparently still not enough to have me ready for the standing and sitting of “racing” a dirt bike. Nothing beats seat time. By now, you’ve probably seen some photos and/or video from the fun we had on
Frid’Eh Update #36 | Anthony Spadaccini | Presented by Troy Lee Designs By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #36 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week brought to you by TLD Moto Canada. We’re in the middle of an off week for Pro racing here in Canada, but that definitely doesn’t mean you can’t find things to do from one side of the country to the other. I’ve got a
Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans. Remember the folktale we all most likely heard as children, The Tortoise and the Hare? If for some reason you haven’t read it, there’s no need to even have a library card or go to a bookstore, just punch the title in on Google and…voila! I had quite the epiphany on how relative and applicable the
By Billy Rainford I got to spend the weekend in Alberta to check out the 8th round of the 2022 FIM Hard Enduro World Championship at the Red Bull Outliers. The main race was on Sunday in the Badlands 45 minutes outside of Brooks, but they put on a nice display at Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary on Saturday. Saturday acted as a qualifier for Sunday but its main purpose
Faces at the Races | 2022 TransCan and Walton 2 National Photos and Captions by Billy Rainford (Yell at him) It’s finally time for ‘Faces at the Races‘ from the 2022 TransCan and Round 9 of the Canadian Triple Crown Series MX Nationals at Walton Raceway 2. It’s a long one, so get a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and let’s drop the gate. I think Dan Stenning took these
