Here's comes 2012

2011-12-29T22:13:00.001-06:00

We are 2 days away from celebrating the new year and a week away from the beginning of the 2012 AMA Supercross season. Exciting times. More so for me as I am moving to something new, exciting (bis repetita), challenging, super cool, different, rewarding and what will be some kind of a change in our family life. I have left AGV Dainese, after 4 great years there, achieving a few good things like

Annual pilgrimage to High Point

2011-06-12T13:10:00.000-05:00

One of the MX races not to miss, in my opinion. Weather was great, despite a huge rain that last 15 minutes, right before the start of 450 moto 2. Sunny, big crowd, good racing, good time. Davi rode great and showed a lot of heart despite a big crash in the last moto, on the very rutted and muddy track. We really enjoyed visiting Morgantown and always promise our friends there to come back on a

Enjoy this little teaser of things coming for us Motocross fans. It is Saturday January 8th 2011 and it is the long awaited opening of the 2011 Supercross season at the legendary Angel Stadium in Anaheim. A1! It's on and it's mega packed. I think we need to go back to 1985 or 1986 to have 4 to 6 riders who can potentially win races and the title, all healthy and lining up behind the gate. It's

and the new season is here. Yeah! Flew in last night. Can't wait for the first gate to drop tomorrow. Very hard to say who will win the first Main. JS, Reed, Dungey, RV? In my own opinion, James Stewart still has it and has the come-back motivation too. Cool video by Racer X

The Red Bull Catalina Grand Prix

2010-12-16T08:36:00.000-06:00

How is it that Red Bull always get involved with the coolest events. Or is it that the right promoters put up the right program and Red Bull believes in them. They rock though and the revival of the famous Catalina GP, 52 years later, is another example of ultimate dirt bike coolness. One of those off-road race, like the Dakar, like the Touquet sand race, like the Alligator Enduro, like the

2010-07-12T19:43:00.001-05:00

This is one motocross race I try to never miss. The weekend in Morgantown, WV, is our favorite of the year. It's not only a great MX race to attend, it's also a very nice town, with cool little restaurants. In the end it is a great social weekend and one of those where the industry as a whole has a good time, socialize, talks business and is overall happy. After having a great first AMA Outdoor

Too bad, the Sea Otter trip wasn't only for the fun part of the MTB industry but also because it is an industry I enjoy working in. My plans were therefore set for the weekend, with visits to dealers,

Slacker! Well, don't think I haven't been traveling since the Indy SX. I actually think I haven't stopped traveling, be it for race-support of the business side of our industry. After Indy I travelled to the Atlanta SX where Davi got 3rd behing Trey Canard, then to the Dallas SX where he scored a great 2nd, ahead of Trey. Winter has gone it seems even though the temperature and the rain don't

Davi looked very good in practice, despite a small crash on a tuf box and really fast in Heat 1 when he came back from a holeshot crash he almost saved and dead last to 8th. With a 16th gate pick on the outside, DM managed to pull out an incredible holeshot in the Main, giving us a great battle with K-Dub before ending 5th. Positive nights.

I’m half-way through my American Airline flight 1425 from O’Hare to Orange County-Santa Ana Airport and listening to Steve Matthes’ podcast of Honda Red Bull Racing’s Andre Short. I think that I was pretty lucky to get out of Chicago this morning, ahead of the heavier part of that huge Winter Storm that’s hitting the city. My drive to the airport was pretty slow but not too bad despite the 2

Thinks are getting heated. We are 5 days before the first SX races and still rumors are flying around. Apparently Josh Grant crashes hard this afternoon while praticing for A1 and was sent to the ER. Yesterday the Nike MX boots finally came out in the open with confirmation that both Ryan Dungey and James Stewart will be wearing them at A1. very surprising for JS7 since he was under contract

MotoGP and WSBK are going to offer some good racing with new riders, new teams and the same for the FIM World Motocross and the AMA Supercross and Outdoors Motocross series.

Here is a pretty cool video of a race run recently where electric bikes were used. Even five times World 500cc Motocross Champion Joel Smets had a go and finished on the podium. Check it and the comments from the many riders involved. Imagine the future of off-road riding...

I'm all for the electric-revolution

2009-12-07T09:32:00.000-06:00

For sure, I don't believe that the electric bikes can yet replace our athmospheric-engine powered motorcycles but the recent evolutions seen in the electric-bike segment are very promising. I, for one, have been very much interested and hoeful that we have better electric-bikes on the market by 2011-2012. The Zero bikes are cool and working pretty well already (despite a minor recall a few months

US Open of SX 09 - Friday practice

2009-10-09T19:49:00.000-05:00

It's good to see some racing again even if the US Open is not looking close to what it was. The pits are small, there are much fewer semis and top 10 riders than ever (as many are here but without a ride like Chad Reed, Josh Hill or IT). The track is extremely disappointing and I would say shitty compared to previous years. It looks easier than the usual Arenacross tracks, but of course James

Off for a peacefull easy flight to Las Vegas.Spent most fo my time listening to some of Matthes' podcasts (Metcalfe, Barcia, Leisk) a bit of the last DMXS show, especially Josh Hill who's always good in those

Well, another very slow time on this blog. I have been very good at not writing recently, despite traveling a lot. From Parts Unlimited's NVP (the dealer showcase where they introduce most 2010 products) where I had the chance to meet Jeremy McGrath, to the Indy MotoGP to traveling around the Midwest and California, for sales, I have been on the road a lot. This makes time spent with family and

Congrats to Chad Reed for clinching the title at Budds Creek today. From the beginning, I never doubted that he would win this title. Come on people, who wouldn't believe he could: he's Chad Reed! One of the 3 fastest guys on Earth on a dirt bike, one of the 2 most trained, fittest (unless illness as we saw) guy in the world.

Endurocross 2009 Round 1 - Las Vegas goes nuts

I was among the people who lost it by not attending the Las Vegas Endurocross this year, round 1 of the 2009 Endurocross series. Once again racing was epic, once again they went to the last lap, last corner, last jump.This is the kind of discipline I really want to ride and race but really think I'll get hurt. :)Round 1 Endurocross video
