We’ve got a long way to go, so let’s get started!
By Billy Rainford Photos by John Meaney Round 2 of the Women’s West MX Nationals took place at the Blackwater MX track in Prince George, BC this past Saturday. We knew the top 3 women were going to separate themselves from the rest, but we didn’t know which one would take the win on the up-and-down PG track. Here’s a look at the racing action. WMX
By Billy Rainford There are moments that define a rider’s career, like Marco Dubé pushing his dead bike across the finish line in Mission, BC so many years ago. Well, we may have just witnessed one of those moments with #19 Dylan Wright. The Blackwater MX track in Prince George, BC took its toll on quite a few riders Saturday at Round 2 of the Rockstar Triple Crown MX Nationals,
By Billy Rainford #3 Shawn Maffenbeier has been around for a long time in Professional Canadian Motocross, but this past Saturday at Round 2 of the 2019 Rockstar Energy Triple Crown MX Nationals was the first time he got himself onto the 450 MX podium.

By Billy Rainford The Women’s West MX Nationals got underway this past Saturday at Wild Rose MX Park in Calgary, Alberta. With a full gat of riders and a couple wild cards thrown in, we were set for some really good action in the class. They now go before and after the Pro Motos, so they got to see the Calgary track at both ends of the spectrum – relatively

It’s always fun to capture the moments away from the track, just as much as the action on it. Here’s our look at some of the people that make Canadian Motocross as great as it is. See you in Prince George!
By Billy Rainford We’re finally back where Motocross belongs – The Outdoors! It felt great to be back at the races in Calgary this past weekend. Yes, the new schedule is a bear of a thing, but we’re all just going to have to adjust to the added demands of live TV. With all the smoke from the forest fires up north, we were in danger of having to make
A Few Photos from Wild Rose MX Park | Thursday By Billy Rainford Rigs were moving in this afternoon at Wild Rose MX Park in Calgary, Alberta, so I wandered over to see who and where I could “help.” It was hot and dry with a pretty hefty breeze as I wandered around the grounds.

Photo Report | Motopark Cup | Rounds 1-2 By Billy Rainford I hadn’t been to a local race in quite some time, so I was looking forward to catching the first round of the ever-popular New Era Moto Cup at Motopark in Chatsworth, Ontario.
