DMX Frid’Eh Update Presented by FXR By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Welcome to Week #5 of the DMX Frid’Eh Update this week presented by FXR.

DMX Frid’Eh Update #3 Presented by Rekluse By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Week #3 in 2015 belongs to the same rider it did in 2014 – Tyler Medaglia.

‘If you can’t be first, be last.’ That’s the motto some people go by. Well, I’m not sure if that’s a credo that 2014 #52 rider Derrick Barr lives by, but he is, indeed, the final rider of the 2014 season to have an Update dedicated to him. So congrats, Derrick.
