McThoughts | Canadian AX Tour | Barrie Round 2 By Jeff McConkey Round 2 of the Canadian National AX Tour kicked off Saturday night at the Molson Center in Barrie, Ontario.

Photo Report | 2016 MXON | Maggiora Italy

Photo Report | 2016 MXON | Maggiora Italy By Billy Rainford Photos by James Lissimore Wow! That’s pretty much all you can say after being at a MXON in Europe.

Faces at the Races|2016 Red Bud National Photos and Captions by Jeff McConkey Red Bud is a bucket list item. If you’ve never been, plain and simple, you need to go. You can see great racing at each and every round of the AMA Nationals, but Red Bud is more. To start off, it’s the most beautiful track layout you could imagine. It has big jumps, elevation, sand, and a

Canada AX Tour – Penticton Photo Report

Canada AX Tour – Penticton Photo Report By Billy Rainford And to think we wondered how we were going to top the bar-banging action witnessed in Sarnia two weeks before! Arenacross has long been synonymous with aggressive riding. To be sure, the hockey-rink-sized tracks make getting around a rider easily a difficult proposition in the best of circumstances. Add to this mixture a couple riders who are very close in
