What’s better than racing A Day in the Dirt? Not much of anything I can think of… But a distant second may be racing the exact same track with a fresh track prep and a fraction of the racers; and being able to be home before noon. Yep. Its awesome.
This last weekend the TransWorldMX crew [...]
If you have read any of Swap’s or my blogs, than you probably know that I have taken up racing as of late. And as you know, racing can put some damage on your gear as well as your pocket book. Well, its done exactly that with me. With all of the driving, race entry [...]

I just returned home from my Thanksgiving jaunt to the annual A Day in the Dirt, and although I hurt to my core, I am beaming with satisfaction. It seems more often than not that no matter how great an event is these days, you just can’t convince people that it compares to “the good [...]
Last weekend I raced, once again, with Swap out at LA County Raceway. And again, it was a lot of fun. I had horrible arm pump and I finished both motos in the back of the back, but I did enjoy myself. I liked the concrete starts and I jumped off the line in both [...]

So there I am, sitting on my 2009 RM-Z250 watching Swap prep my gate, and all I can think about it is, Maybe I should have crapped first…

Qualifying at des Nations kept the crew more than busy today, but we had a blast doing our job. The weather was, yet again, quite nice and the track was fun to shoot. Swap had the video rolling and Lutes and I shot stills while the American team reminded the rest of the world just [...]
So after a long journey speckled with treacherous airline food pitfalls and mind-bending traffic riddles, Swap, Lutes, and I found ourselves at the threshold of the Thistle Hotel, just minutes from the Donington Park race facility in the U.K.
Unfortunately for the TWMX crew, we were five hours too early to check in, so off to [...]
Today marked the first time that our entire edit staff rode together this year and, I must say, it was quite emotional. Okay, so it wasn’t much different than any other day riding, but it was, indeed, nice to have everyone on the track together. Elmo finally strapped his Gaenres around his freshly healed ankle [...]

Remember the Tony Hawk Boom Boom HuckJam a few years ago? It was the crazy choreographed jam session with skate and BMX riders flowing a huge halfpipe while FMX stars flew over the ramps in timed fluid unison while bands like Social Distortion laid down a blaring soundtrack to the sensory overload. It was actually [...]

We’ve started a war. But this war may be able to clarify some things for you, so perhaps its a good thing. Swap and I have declared a PROP war. The guy who has more PROPS at the end of the month owes the other dinner. It is SO on! PROP my sh@% people!
I’m sure [...]
