It’s a bit of a strange week here for the ‘ol Update – last week was #13 and this is #14. The only reason this is an issue is because of some archaic superstition surrounding the ‘dreaded’ number 13.

Frid’Eh Update #12 Presented by Just 1 Helmets By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford It’s Week #12 here for the Update and I can’t remember a rider making as big an impact on the flavour of the Canadian Nationals as Vince Friese did in 2014.

DMX Frid’Eh Update #11 Presented by Mongoose Machine By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Week #11 always belongs to the winner of the MX2 class up here in Canada.

Frid’Eh Update #7 Presented by Pelican By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Week #7 belongs to an American rider we’ve become close enough with to call one of our own. I’m, of course, talking about New York State’s favourite motocross ex-pat, Bobby Kiniry. In 2014 we got used to seeing Bobby sway from his usual #3 and look like #7 James Stewart.
