Photo Report|Rockstar MX Nationals|Regina Round 4 By Billy Rainford We finished of the western swing of the 2016 Rockstar MX Nationals at Moto Valley MX Park in Regina, Saskatchewan, this past Sunday. The sky in the province is referred to as “living” and you can see why. There were cloud formations threatening to make the event a repeat of a couple years ago when the rains came and shortened the

Photo Report: Rockstar MX Nationals|Calgary Round 3 By Billy Rainford Round 3 of the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals headed back to Wild Rose MX Park in downtown Calgary this past weekend. They call this round the ‘Crown Jewel’ of the series and the action Sunday lived up to the billing. They ran the track backwards and incorporated a ton of changes since last June. There were mixed feelings about the

Time to have a look inside and under the helmets at the people who make the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals as enjoyable a time at professional races you can possibly have. ‘Emily the Intern’ took over some of the camera duties for this, so a special thank you to her for

Photo Report: Women’s West Nationals|Nanaimo Round 2 By Billy Rainford Round 2 of the Women’s West Nationals took place this past weekend at the Wastelands MX Park in Nanaimo, BC. Under a mix of sun and cloud, the 22-woman field put on a great show. The previous week saw 34 ladies hit the track on the mainland in Kamloops, so you’d have to guess the costly ferry trip kept a

Photo Report: Rockstar Energy MX Nationals|Nanaimo Round 2 By Billy Rainford What a difference a week and a drive to the coast make! We went from record-setting heat last week in Kamloops to mid-teen coolness and overcast skies this week in Nanaimo, BC. I don’t think you’d get too many complaints from the riders, as they were able to go full bore the entire motos this week. There were a

Photo Report: Rockstar MX Nationals|Kamloops Round 1 By Billy Rainford The big day has finally come and gone. Round 1 of the highly-anticipated 2016 Rockstar Energy Drink MX Nationals came in like a lion and left like a…well, let’s just say it left like something that had been set out in the hot, hot sun all day and left for dead. They actually set heat records here in the North

Photo Report: Women’s West Nationals|Kamloops Round 1 By Billy Rainford The Women’s West Nationals kicked off a busy weekend here in Kamloops, BC. Last year’s champion, #1W Sara King, was back to defend her 2015 title, but it was not going to be easy. Women’s Motocross has been invaded by fast off-road riders! The addition of returning competitor #50 Shelby Turner and Endurocross star #151 Lexi Pechout is going to
