    The greatest idea in motocross is not the water-cooled motor, the backward-falling start gate, the monoshock or the full-face helmet.

    Life came to a crashing halt the other day. Not for me, but for everyone trying to call me because I smashed my cell phone. I was riding trials bikes with Big Air Tod when I was rejected on a section, thrown to the ground, rolled over a rock and across some cacti. To top [...]

    The next few years are crunch time. The Forest Service’s OHV route designation rule was released last year, and things are beginning to fall into place to make this work in our favor as much as possible.
