ICYMI | Catching Up with Luke Renzland | Presented by Yamaha Motor Canada

ICYMI | Catching Up with Luke Renzland | Presented by Yamaha Motor Canada By Billy Rainford We’re all going a little stir crazy these days, but, fortunately, #6 Luke Renzland has come to the rescue to entertain us with another fun interview with the New Jersey native. There are lots of characters in our sport and Luke is definitely one of them. I always have a great time when I get the

ICYMI | Catching Up with JC Bujold By Billy Rainford Last week it was JC Bujold‘s week for the Frid’Eh Update Intro Interview. In case you missed it, here it is: For 2020, JC Bujold earned #47, but we never got to see him run the digits as he chose to stay in Quebec for this rather strange season. Here’s what he had to say when we got in touch with him

ICYMI | Catching Up with Colton Facciotti

ICYMI | Catching Up with Colton Facciotti By Billy Rainford Colton Facciotti is the winningest Motocross rider one modern Canadian history. He did what few professional riders are able to do – he went out on top and on his own terms. Ask any retired racer and I bet they’ll all agree that that would be the ideal way to hang up the leathers. Colton is actually out here in

ICYMI | Catching Up with Teren Gerber | Troy Lee Designs

ICYMI | Catching Up with Teren Gerber | Troy Lee Designs By Billy Rainford Teren Gerber was #40 for the 2020 Canadian season. We’ve gotten to know him and his mom over the past few years as they travelled the country together a couple years back. Last season, he was hanging out with some trouble makers who don’t know what good music sounds like! (Sorry, I had to.) He’s a mild-mannered

ICYMI | Catching Up with Jason Benny

ICYMI | Catching Up with Jason Benny It looks like Jason Benny has decided to forego racing this season to concentrate on his growing motocross school. Here’s what he had to say when we got in touch with him this week: Direct Motocross: Hello, Jason. Seems like we haven’t seen you in a while! Let’s go back to the beginning to let people get to know you. How did you

ICYMI | Catching Up with Jayce Pennington

ICYMI | Catching Up with Jayce Pennington By Billy Rainford I’d seen Jayce racing down south in the past but had never met the rider from Illinois until he came north to race out series in 2019. He came in with a ton of potential, but struggled with a few lingering injuries that prevented him from performing at the level he was hoping for. Here’s a look at his 2019 Rockstar

ICYMI | Catching Up with Jack Wright

ICYMI | Catching Up with Jack Wright By Billy Rainford Jack Wright is the rider who should be out there representing the #34, but he suffered a pre-season crash that resulted in a broken leg. The injury has kept him away from the races, but he’s getting ready to start back soon. Jack will always be the guy who decided to drive all the way out to California with me on

ICYMI | Catching Up with Hayden Halstead | Yamaha Motor Canada

ICYMI | Catching Up with Hayden Halstead | Yamaha Motor Canada By Billy Rainford I get to know pretty much all of the racers and their families in Canadian Motocross and, like I always say, it’s my favourite part of this gig I’ve carved out for myself. When I’m at the races, there is about a zero percent chance that I’m not going to spend time with Hayden and the
