Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans.  Remember the folktale we all most likely heard as children, The Tortoise and the Hare?  If for some reason you haven’t read it, there’s no need to even have a library card or go to a bookstore, just punch the title in on Google and…voila!  I had quite the epiphany on how relative and applicable the

The Fish Goes to Camp | Greg Heads to MotoCamp with Lino Zecca By Greg Poisson Brought to you by KDEAM Optics I was 10 years old the last time I had been to Motocamp, run by Lino Zecca, father of current Canadian national pro #43 Dario Zecca.

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – July 2022

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – July 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans!  This column is going to be short and sweet like a pack of fruit-flavored Mentos!  This month I’ve been overwhelmed with the feeling of gratitude and now have a new understanding of what the word “community” actually means. Earlier this month, I spent some time in Peru with 23 strangers.  Nervous?  Of course. But I had

2022 Canadian MX Nationals Round 3 at Prairie Hill MX | Read the Recap By Billy Rainford On a day when we woke up happy that the trees weren’t bending at 90-degree angles, we should have been careful what we’d wished for. As we got into the van and headed back toward the Prairie Hill MX track just outside Pilot Mound, MB, the temperature gauge on the dashboard already read

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – April 2022

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross – April 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans.  About 10 years ago I used to attend a Bikram Yoga studio quite frequently. The lady who owned the studio, Helena, is an incredible person – a heart of gold and a kind soul.  Her father, Sonny, taught classes at the studio as well.  I loved taking his classes and appreciated the wisdom and comic relief

Bigwave’s Briefs | 2022 Atlanta Supercross By Billy Rainford Round 14 of the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series was held at Atlanta Motor Speedway this past Saturday afternoon. I’m going to try something a little different to get thoughts up in a concise way following events in something I’m going to call “Bigwave’s Briefs.” If anyone can come up with a funny graphic for this column it would be

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | March 2022 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans!  Inspired by a training session from the other night, allow me to introduce two of my lil homies; Kai McCullough and Ryder Robertson.  I’ve worked with both of these boys for about two years.  When it comes to personalities, they are two polar opposites.  Kai is so high strung, he gives me a run for my
