2016 Most Influential Award | Interesting Anonymous Email By Billy Rainford We’re well underway with our ‘2016 Direct Motocross Most Influential People in Canadian MX‘ People’s Choice Awards voting. We’ve received a ton of votes, so far, and some the people being selected are surprising while others are expected. I’ve actually got pretty thick skin and have no problem with some self-introspection, so when we received the following email it
25 Days of Christmas | Day 12 | MP1 Suspension By Billy Rainford Sometimes, Jeff gets the really cool opportunity to test out new products, gear and bikes. This fall, he was given the unique opportunity to head to the North Pole to take Santa’s sleigh for a ride and do a review on it. The first thing Santa mentioned was the MP1 Suspension he would be running this Christmas.
5 Lap Sprint | Christmas Edition | Part 1 By Jeff McConkey Since the Holidays are just around the corner, I figured it was time for some “5 Lap Sprints.” With so many great people in the industry, I couldn’t do just one, so this is only Part 1 of the Holiday Edition.

We’ve already shovelled 3 times and woke up to that love/hate relationship sound
25 Days of Christmas | Day 11 | 100% Racecraft Goggle By Billy Rainford Some people try to go through life giving less than a full effort. One night a year, Santa Claus manages to give the full 100%. In order to see clearly while in race mode, Santa needs a set of goggles that won’t hold his vision back. Santa chooses the 100% Racecraft Goggle. And he chooses the
25 Days of Christmas | Day 10 | Club MX By Billy Rainford If you’re wondering how Santa is able to put in 1, 24-hour moto a year and live to tell about it, it’s because he spends some secret time in Chesterfield, SC at Club MX. Club MX President and Head Coach, Brandon Haas, always sets aside some secret time to do a reverse training session with Santa to
25 Days of Christmas | Day 9 | Yamaha PW3028 Pressure Washer By Billy Rainford Santa always leaves a little extra room in the trunk of the sleigh to fit his trusted YAMAHA PW3028 Pressure Washer.

1st Annual ‘Most Influential People in Canadian MX’ | People’s Choice I was talking with someone the other day, and I didn’t even know they knew anything about motocross. They actually asked me what JSR was up to because they remembered seeing him win all the time on Sportsnet a bunch of years ago. When I told him he’d been retired from Pro racing for several years now, he asked
