Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Had to wait until I could get to my fingernails before hitting the laptop this morning. Anyone else completely in awe of anyone who has those crazy long fingernails and can still type? Mine get like 1 millimetre long and it’s time for me to cut them down. I feel like I’m going to poke them right through the keyboard otherwise. But I digress… You think that

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Hello again from the little single-axle trailer parked at Viney Ranch in Murrieta, California. It’s really amazing what Ulf and Cheryl have carved out for themselves right at the centre of USA Motocross. There’s always something going on here. We had a delicious BBQ last night that Cheryl cooked up with Michael Lindsay from Vital MX. I think I learned more about the inner workings of American

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Photos by 🌊 This Monday Morning Coffee is coming to you from the Pacific Time in Ocean Beach, California. “OB” is a beach town next to San Diego and we love it here. If you’ve ever been to the coast of Southern California, you know what it’s like. Most places are completely white-washed and without flavour. It’s little pockets of beach life like OB and Venice Beach

Frid’Eh Update #2 | Marshal Weltin | Presented by Troy Lee Designs By Billy Rainford Photos by Bigwave Welcome to Week #2 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by TLD Canada. Unfortunately, I’m not typing this Update from Oakland, California. Instead, I’m sitting in my office back in London, Ontario, in the cold, snowy weather. I flew out to the first round instead of flying because I just

10 Top Stories of 2021

10 Top Stories of 2021 By Billy Rainford It’s that time of year again when we get to make Top 10 lists out of just about anything we feel like. I grew up as a massive David Letterman fan, so countdowns are something I just can’t stay away from (…from Wahoo, Nebraska…). To be honest, I’ve pulled over to catch the top 2 songs of a countdown while driving across

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford I’m sitting here in -8C drinking my first cup of Monday Morning Coffee of 2022. It’s a pretty big Monday because it means I’m supposed to be loading up the DMX Van for another trip south and west for some Monster Energy AMA Supercross! And I will be, but it’s been a really strange lead up to this departure. It seems I managed to pick up a

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | December 2021 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans! Happy Festivus! You already know I wait all year to use that line!  Haha  The weekend after the Mini O’s we decided to head to Tampa MX for the last round of the I-4 MX Triple Crown Series. Old school per usual as Sunday morning my dad, boyfriend, and I hop in the truck at 3:45am and

Monday Morning Coffee

By Billy Rainford Welcome to the last Monday Morning Coffee before Christmas. Emily and I made our last trip down to my buddy’s restaurant before Christmas, so I’m a little behind on my coffee ramblings this morning. I think, since we’ve got the LRX Alberta Arenacross Championships to talk about in more detail later, I’ll spin a little yarn this week, if you don’t mind. I’m going to tell this

Frid’Eh Update #50 | Julien Benek | Presented by Troy Lee Designs By Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #50 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by Troy Lee Designs Canada. Week 50 means we’re very close to the end of another year. We saw a lot of new riders crack the top 52 and make it into the Intro Interview, so that’s always cool. It also means we’ve
