By Billy Rainford Hello again from Kamloops, BC. I’m still out here looking after my mom while my sister take a little holiday. That meant it was pretty early to be up on a Sunday morning to watch the MXGP of Trentino in Italy. I’m not sure if you heard, but Dylan Wright is over there and racing… We posted the race schedule and time difference to Ontario, thinking that
Alberta Riders Dominate in Chilliwack – The Future Looks Bright for Alberta Motocross – By Billy Rainford There’s no denying the correlation between racing the Future West Moto Canadian Arenacross Championships at a young age and excelling at the Pro level. History shows that riders who make the effort to race the longstanding indoor series do very well throughout their careers. Being trackside at the first two rounds of the
This week, Monday Morning Coffee is coming to you in Pacific Time. I apologize that this will likely be hitting your inbox way past our usual coffee time. I’m out in BC for the next couple weeks. I had to leave Round 2 of the Future West Moto Canadian Arenacross Championships in Chilliwack and drive to the Interior to Kamloops. By the time I made it here, there was only
By Billy Rainford Happy Monday Morning from soggy Southwestern Ontario. The rain has settled in here nicely over the past couple days with no end in sight! Of course, that’s not true. We will get to the end of this weather pattern at some point, but, man, there’s been a lot of rain in these parts. In fact, they had to cancel second motos at Gopher Dunes for the AMO
By Billy Rainford I’m running a little bit behind this morning. Gopher Dunes opened up their back track on Frank Schuster‘s property and AMO Reloaded held an Ontario Provincial race over the weekend. Saturday was a practice day, so Greg Poisson and I loaded up his truck and headed over to check it out. We got there a little late but suited up and got ready for a session on
By Billy Rainford Another Monday rears its ugly head. If you’re from the same area as DMX World HQ in Southwestern Ontario, we’re entering the best time of year to ride. Gone are the gross, humid days of July and August. I actually enjoy that for cycling, but it doesn’t motivate me to try out new gear at the track when it gets that hot. I know, I’m a fair-weather

Faces at the Races | Canadian SX Rounds 1 and 2 | Race Tech Photos and Captions by Billy Rainford It’s time for a sarcastic and sometimes even informative ‘Face at the Races‘ column from rounds 1 and 2 of the Canadian Triple Crown Series SX at Gopher Dunes. [WARNING: I probably should have eaten before doing this column. I think my blood sugar must have been low…or high. Which
By Billy Rainford As I sit here this Monday Morning waiting to do a podcast with Lee Fryberger from Team Canada ISDE, James Lissimore and I have the new Bob Ross documentary from Netflix on in the background. If you’re old like me, I’m sure you’ll remember watching The Joy of Painting on PBS back in the 1980’s when there was nothing else on. As I look back now, I
