Faces at the Races|Nanaimo Round 2 By Billy Rainford Photos by Bigwave and Emily Nicholson It’s that time again! 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.

The addition of returning competitor #50 Shelby Turner and Endurocross star #151 Lexi Pechout is going to
Photo Report: New Era Motopark Cup|Round 2 By Billy Rainford Here’s a look at some of the racing action from Round 2 of the New Era Motopark Cup in Chatsworth, Ontario. It was a great weekend with lots of tight racing and a chance to look at a few riders who will now head west to compete in the Rockstar Energy MX Nationals. Here’s a look at some of the
Photo Report: Gopher Dunes AMO ANQ By Billy Rainford It feels so good to be at outdoor races again! Well, the weather could have cooperated a little more, but it was still a nice change to come out from under the lights and into the sunshine…and snow, and sleet, and wind, and hail… It was a weird day, weather-wise, for sure, Sunday at Gopher Dunes. With a high of only

Faces at the Races|New Jersey SX Photos and Captions by Billy Rainford I had a lot of fun posting ‘Faces’ last week, so I wanted to get to it right away this week after round 16 of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
