By Billy Rainford Welcome back to Standard Daylight Time where it gets dark before 5:30pm. This crazy angled axis and living this far from the equator make for an exciting ride as we make our trips around the sun. What do “flat earthers” say about this, anyway? It was also Halloween Weekend but it didn’t feel like it around here. We never get a single kid dressed up in a
By Billy Rainford It felt great to be a the races again this past weekend. Hell, it feels great to ANYwhere these day, doesn’t it?! The COVID-19 rules are more relaxed out here in BC than they are back at my place in Ontario. It feels great to have a little more normalcy in my life again, even if it’s only for a short time before I head back later
By Billy Rainford Good Monday Morning (time change got me) from the west coast. It’s been a great few days out here in BC for the Future West Moto (FWM) Canadian Arenacross Championships, 2020 edition. It had been too many years since I had the chance to check out the indoor racing that has groomed so many of our top Pro racers over the years. This was also the first
By Billy Rainford Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada reading this. I hope you are able to visit with the important people in your life over this extremely abnormal holiday weekend. We’re supposed to be having dinners and drinks with family but in true 2020 fashion we are still needing to keep the older and compromised members of our population at arm’s length.

By Billy Rainford As I sit here trying to think of something relevant to talk about now that our Rockstar Triple Crown Tour has come to an end, I find myself going down the rabbit hole of Twitter. I don’t even know why I follow some of the people I do – it just makes me angry every time I end up scrolling through the comments. If you’re like me,
By Billy Rainford It’s over! We put a fork in this weird 2020 season on Saturday afternoon at Gopher Dunes. We just did our 2-week stint at the outdoor Supercross track just outside of Tillsonburg, Ontario. What did you think?

By Billy Rainford Usually around this time of year we’re getting ready to head somewhere super cool for the annual Motocross of Nations. Sure, there have been years in the past where the politics of the whole thing have gotten in the way of our sending a team, but that wasn’t the roadblock this year. Chalk up another win for the Coronavirus. It’s also around this time when I’d be
Things to Watch for at Round 5 |The Final Round By Billy Rainford It’s hard to believe but we’re heading in to our final weekend of racing to decide the champions in the 2020 Rockstar Triple Crown Tour MX Nationals. We’re back at Sand Del Lee just outside Ottawa, Ontario. There are two clearcut favourites in Jess Pettis (250) and Dylan Wright (450), but there are other stories to keep
Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans! I take early morning walks almost every day. Sometimes they take place a little later than others and I’m not cruising the streets till around 7 a.m. At that time in the morning, the cars are always whizzing by. People are on the way to work, dropping their kids off at school, heading to the gym, or on their
