Heading into the always difficult and challenging track of Daytona for Round 9 of the AMA Supercross Series, rumors of Chad Reed swirled in the air. So was it true? Was the injured Reed going to make his comeback this weekend?

Sure enough Reed was in Daytona and sure enough he got on the bike and headed to the track for practice. Even though he crashed while scrubbing a…

We got a chance to catch up with a local Motocross racer who is always on the go and has been for 40+ years. John “Buzz” Sharra from Torrington, CT has been riding and racing for quite some time and has some inspiring words for MX riders. Here is how it all started and how he continues to do the thing he loves the most!

How and at what age…

Packing Tape = First Place

So here I am at the Lake County Fair on my CRF250 just minutes before the first heat race and it starts pouring rain for about a good hour. The pits were just pure mud and the track was flooded and just nasty. But they decided to go on with the race and with my luck that was the only day I did not have tear-offs. I decided to put…

Dungey “Hot under the Collar” for a win in Atlanta

In Round 8 of the AMA Supercross Series from Atlanta we saw no altercations between J-Law and Ryan Dungey, but we did see altercation between Justin Barcia and Martin Davalos. Reports are that Barcia stuffed up the inside on Davalos into a turn. Neither rider was bumped in the incident, but Davalos was quite upset. Davalos bumped Barcia and was yelling at him as the two rode side by side.…

Boot Boggin

On August 2008 in Northern Ontario the day was perfect for riding. The trails were clear and a sunny sky with a high of around 23 degrees Celsius. My friend was coming up for the week to go riding with me however, I could not wait for his arrival and went out on my own wearing a boot cast as I fractured the bone just before my big toe. Huge…

Indy Supercross had the crowd on their feet the entire night. The race could be summed up as: Drama, battles, and a couple of fist pumps across the finish line. The day began with some bad blood between Lawrence & Dungey…can we say SX ’08? Although this time around it seemed like this only fired up Dungey more. As much as it was disappointing they both got a bad gate…

Snow Blaster!

In the last few months here in Virginia we have had a ton of snow. My friends said I wouldn’t be able to ride my Blaster in it. Well I had no problem keeping up with the 4×4s. I just go all out and dont stop!

Drama, Twitter and Black Flags…What is Supercross?

Phil — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:45:12 +0000

For the full scenario of what played out between Jason Lawrence and Ryan Dungey let’s go back to Friday at 3:45pm when Josh Hill tweeted this message on Twitter:

“Please text me dungeys number so I can let him know I’m comming to indy. -Jason Lawrence just txtd me that yeeewww”.

From that moment I think everyone new what was about to go down this weekend. But, would it be…

Indianapolis Supercross Results

Phil — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:10:14 +0000

Round 7 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross series got off with a bang in Indianapolis. Ryan Dungey and Jason Lawrence had a run in during fast lap timings. J-Law stopped in front of Dungey causing him to lose his temper. Both riders were Black-Flagged giving each of them the worst gate starts and were placed in separate heat races. We will be posting a separate blog on this shortly…
