Faces at the Races – Toronto SX and Houston Party By Billy Rainford Photos by Bigwave and Tyler Spikman @spikman The 2016 Toronto Supercross is now in our rear view mirror. After being off the schedule in 2015, 50 605 fans filed into the Rogers Centre to prove that Toronto deserves a round each and every year. Getting non-Canadians across the border may prove to be one thing we fight

McThoughts: Toronto Supercross 450 Class

McThoughts: Toronto Supercross 450 Class By Jeff McConkey Supercross made its return to Toronto this past Saturday night, and 0ver 50,000 Canadian fans came out to show their support. The dirt held up really well and gave us some great racing. It was a little slippery in spots, but these guys are the best in the world and make it fun to watch. The familiar faces were up front and

McThoughts: Toronto 250 East SX

McThoughts: Toronto 250 East SX By Jeff McConkey The 250 East riders came to Toronto this past weekend, and it was anyone’s game. Current points leader, #49 Martin Davalos, was not in Toronto due to personal “family reasons.” That meant that the red plate was going to a different rider for the first time this season. Heading into Toronto, we had a few riders capable of wins. There was Daytona

Dave Blanchet Update

Dave Blanchet Update By Billy Rainford He was all set to perform in front of his home country this past weekend at the Rogers Centre in Toronto when he got out of shape in the tricky whoops section.

Frid’Eh Update #10 Presented by the Toronto SX By Jeff McConkey and Billy Rainford Welcome to the biggest (arguably) weekend on the Canadian motocross/supercross calendar. After being absent from the Monster Energy AMA Supercross Series schedule in 2015, the event has returned to Toronto. More on that later… Week #10 goes out to a rider who became as big a part of the fabric of our Rockstar MX Nationals as

Faces at the Races: Daytona SX

Faces at the Races: Daytona SX By Billy Rainford Photos by Billy Rainford and Brendan Goldstein The Daytona SX has come and gone and we were there to check it out in person. There is a pretty good chance we were treated to the best 2-main evening we’ve seen in a very long time. With 4 riders going for the win in the 250 main and Eli Tomac and Ryan

McThoughts: 450 SX Round 2 – Daytona

McThoughts: 450 SX Round 2 – Daytona By Jeff McConkey Photos by Billy Rainford It wasn’t the best Daytona track, but the racing was still pretty good. Many people were complaining about the design, but they all had to race the same track. Eli Tomac picked up his first win since having double shoulder surgery in the off-season and switching teams. He looked very good, but I still don’t think

McThoughts: 250 East SX Round 2 – Daytona

McThoughts: 250 East Round 2 – Daytona By Jeff McConkey Photos by Billy Rainford Daytona went off this past Saturday night. The track wasn’t great and kind of looked like a game of follow the leader, but that didn’t stop the top 4 guys from putting on a great race. I, honestly, don’t think I’ve ever seen the top 4 that close for the entire race, especially at Daytona. 250
