By Billy Rainford Had to wait until I could get to my fingernails before hitting the laptop this morning. Anyone else completely in awe of anyone who has those crazy long fingernails and can still type? Mine get like 1 millimetre long and it’s time for me to cut them down. I feel like I’m going to poke them right through the keyboard otherwise. But I digress… You think that
By Billy Rainford Hello again from the little single-axle trailer parked at Viney Ranch in Murrieta, California. It’s really amazing what Ulf and Cheryl have carved out for themselves right at the centre of USA Motocross. There’s always something going on here. We had a delicious BBQ last night that Cheryl cooked up with Michael Lindsay from Vital MX. I think I learned more about the inner workings of American
By Billy Rainford Photos by 🌊 This Monday Morning Coffee is coming to you from the Pacific Time in Ocean Beach, California. “OB” is a beach town next to San Diego and we love it here. If you’ve ever been to the coast of Southern California, you know what it’s like. Most places are completely white-washed and without flavour. It’s little pockets of beach life like OB and Venice Beach
By Billy Rainford I’m sitting here in -8C drinking my first cup of Monday Morning Coffee of 2022. It’s a pretty big Monday because it means I’m supposed to be loading up the DMX Van for another trip south and west for some Monster Energy AMA Supercross! And I will be, but it’s been a really strange lead up to this departure. It seems I managed to pick up a
By Billy Rainford Welcome to the last Monday Morning Coffee before Christmas. Emily and I made our last trip down to my buddy’s restaurant before Christmas, so I’m a little behind on my coffee ramblings this morning. I think, since we’ve got the LRX Alberta Arenacross Championships to talk about in more detail later, I’ll spin a little yarn this week, if you don’t mind. I’m going to tell this
By Billy Rainford Hello from a sunny and 7C day in London. Emily and I were actually able to get out for a nice cycle yesterday and it looks like we’ll take advantage and head out again today. When I looked ahead at the forecast, my plan was to put the snow tires on Em’s car on one of these nicer December days, but it seems we’re too busy getting
By Billy Rainford Hello and welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee to start the week. Now that the Mini O’s are done, we find ourselves heading straight for the Christmas/Holiday break before we hit the Monster Energy AMA Supercross season in full stride. It looks like we’re going to have a few Canadians either competing in the entire series or doing a few races in 2022. Let’s have a look
By Billy Rainford Man, it feels good to be on the road and sitting in a Starbucks working on Monday Morning Coffee from parts unknown! Actually, I know where I am. I’m in Florence, South Carolina, on my way to see Julien Perrier and his PRMX Partzilla Kawasaki Supercross team in action over at South of the Border. I could have made it there last night, but I’m afraid of
By Billy Rainford This is my first Monday at home at my office desk in a few weeks. As much fun as it is traveling to races and seeing great action, it always feels good to be home for a while. Of course, it never takes long to get the travel bug again. Fortunately, I won’t have to wait very long until I’m back on the move. We’re heading in
By Billy Rainford So, it’s after 5pm here in Mantova, Italy. This time change is really something. Carl Bastedo, Dylan Wright, and I just got back to the hotel from a late lunch. I sat down at my laptop and looked at the clock. Then I did the math and realized that it was only 11am back in Eastern time, leaving me an hour to put a few thoughts down
