Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | October 2023 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans, Someone that I used to know once told me, “You can’t build a house without a few splinters.” And here I thought, as long as we focused on constructing a solid foundation we’d be all right!

By Billy Rainford The recent passing of Wally Levy got me thinking about some of what’s really important in life. Although Wally left way too early, he had a very positive impact on everyone who knew him or even just met him once. And it’s definitely not just because he’s gone that people are saying nice things about him; he was genuinely a good dude. What a nice legacy to

By Billy Rainford I had two of the coolest days I’ve had in a long time this past weekend. The Vet and Vintage event at Gopher Dunes was one for the ages, as Frank Schuster, Lawrence Hacking, and Glen Nicholson all put their heads together and gathered some huge names from our sport’s past. If you’re too young to remember the names that were there, it’s no problem because I’ve
By Billy Rainford Welcome to another Monday Morning Coffee. Hey, when does daylight savings time end anyway? I have to admit that I took a little bit of time away from moto this past week.

By Billy Rainford OK, I have to admit it, I completely wimped out this passed weekend. I went into it planning to head to Gopher Dunes Friday for Supercross practice, head back again on Saturday for the races, go home for a few hours, and then head to catch the final day of the Corduroy Enduro up in Gooderham, ON.

By Billy Rainford Next time I say I’m going to drive 12 hours to a race and then turn around and come straight home afterward, punch me in the face, please. I hopped into the DMX Van again this past weekend and drove all the way to Z Max Dragway in Concord, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte for round 1 of the inaugural Supermotocross Playoffs. I told myself it wasn’t

Off the Cuff with Jacqueline Ross | August 2023 By Jacqueline Ross Greetings, Humans, A significant playwright, essayist, and screenwriter of the 20th Century, Arthur Miller once said, “The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.” He was correct!
