TCX’s new top-end boot, the Pro 2.1 ($439.99) isn’t as popular as it deserves to be. I spent a lot of happy-feet time (is that measured by the hour or by the foot?) in the previous 2.0, and the 2.1 makes my piggies even happier.The Pro 2.1 is a traditional sewn-sole, inner bootie, articulated ankle, [...]

Having a meter on a dirt bike is as important as TP and matches are on a camping trip. Four-stroke motocrossers, especially, are very absentminded and can run amok if not properly monitored and maintained. I tell everyone the first thing they should do when buying a new bike is to install an hourmeter. Keeping [...]

Motocross.com contributor Steve Cox reports… Rockstar/Makita Suzuki’s Ryan Dungey is the whipping boy of the 2011 Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Championship. It seems that some fans were so convinced that his 2010 rookie-season championship was a fluke that there was no way he could pull it off in 2011. . And these detractors had all of [...]

I have eaten spaghetti on Fridays before the race in the past, but I’m not sure if that is the thing to do or not.Matt Gibson I’m [...]
