Frid’Eh Update #20 Presented by By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford We’ve regained control of the calendar and are back on schedule. Sorry for the confusion the last couple weeks, our abacus has been on the fritz here at DMX HQ. Week #20 belongs to the rider who we’ve all watched flourish into a podium threat in the MX2 class. Prince George, BC’s Jess Pettis has had the eyes of

Hey, what are you doing this summer…#29 Jeremy Pronovost? By Billy Rainford We’ve gotten to know the friendly Quebec duo of Jeremy Pronovost and his dad, Guy, quite well over the past few years. Jeremy will admit that 2015 didn’t go as well as he would have wanted (he crashed and had to deal with some post-concussion issues) but it usually takes more than that to wipe the smile from

$2 Tuesday: Rider Pre-Race Rituals circa 2011 By Billy Rainford One of our favourite things about motocross and racing in general is the little quirks that make each rider an individual. Sometimes it’s something as seemingly insignificant as the order in which they put their boots on…sometimes it’s more. We went around and asked riders what their pre-race rituals or superstitions were and the answers were very interesting. Check this
McThoughts: Las Vegas Supercross – 450 Class By Jeff McConkey What a 450 season! We had the most stacked class ever and the racing was great.

In the West, there was one real favourite in Cooper Webb, but on the East, there were 4-5 guys. I’m still not a fan of how both coasts get thrown into the mix at Vegas, but that’s just my opinion. It’s a real bummer that the weather was
Monday Morning Coffee By Billy Rainford Hola, and welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee. This week, we’re coming to you from a quiet little fishing village about 40 kms outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, called Sayulita.
