By Billy Rainford Good morning from Pendelton, Oregon. I didn’t even know my route from Salt Lake City, UT to Kamloops, BC was going to take me through Oregon, but here I am. I managed to take a few minutes out of the drive and go for a MTB ride in Boise, Idaho, late yesterday. I spent most of the day driving through a blinding snowstorm through the mountains, so
Frid’Eh Update #18 | Parker Eales | Presented by KTM Canada By Billy Rainford Welcome to the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by KTM Canada. This week, I’m in Salt Lake City for the final round of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series at Rice-Eccles Stadium on the beautiful campus of the University of Utah. Go Utes! “Did you say, Utes?” (Google it, Bowker!) Parker Eales from Maple
By Billy Rainford As another Monday rolls around my life is about to get flipped-turned upside down, to quote the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But I”m not sure we’re allowed to do that these days… On Tuesday I’ll start making my way to Salt Lake City for the final round of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series. I actually lived in SLC for about 7 months back in
Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – April 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans. About 10 years ago I used to attend a Bikram Yoga studio quite frequently. The lady who owned the studio, Helena, is an incredible person – a heart of gold and a kind soul. Her father, Sonny, taught classes at the studio as well. I loved taking his classes and appreciated the wisdom and comic relief
By Billy Rainford Having not been at a Supercross the past couple weekends, I didn’t really have a lot of content for my past two Monday Morning Coffee columns. However, I don’t even know where to start this week! I think it’s pretty safe to say that the past 3 days contained more moto content than any I’ve had in the past…many, many years. Let me clarify. Sure, I was
Frid’Eh Update #16 | Cole Thompson | Presented by Yamaha Motor Canada By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #16 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by Yamaha Motor Canada. I just made the move. I did. I took the snow brush out of the van for the second time this spring, but I think it’s going to stick this time. As I was rearranging the back of the
Bigwave’s Briefs | 2022 Atlanta Supercross By Billy Rainford Round 14 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series was held at Atlanta Motor Speedway this past Saturday afternoon. I’m going to try something a little different to get thoughts up in a concise way following events in something I’m going to call “Bigwave’s Briefs.” If anyone can come up with a funny graphic for this column it would be
By Billy Rainford I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. It looks like the only decent opportunity to get out and ride was Sunday and I missed it. The sun was out around here but it was definitely not warm. It looks like spring will arrive later this week and then we should get things rolling here where I am in southwestern Ontario. Don’t forget, the groundhog told us spring
By Billy Rainford Man, it feels weird to be home two weekends in a row! I really don’t even know what to do with myself on these “rest” days. It’s important to have a healthy work/life balance (as the kids would say). However, for me, the balance part is a little grey. I love my work! Going to the races and seeing all of you isn’t something I need a
By Billy Rainford The big news for me this past weekend was that my old friend and guy who was at every motocross race I ever did, Cary Hitchen, picked up a KTM 250 SX 2-stroke on Sunday. Cary is one of my oldest friends and he made the early-morning trips with my family and me nearly every weekend throughout the spring, summer, and fall in the 1980’s. I’m going
