Q&A with the the top riders, industry players, and celebrities connected with motocross and supercross.
- 5 Minutes with... Kyle CunninghamFebruary 22, 2011Cunningham talks Josh Hansen, his up and down season, and more.
- Monday Conversation: Chad ReedFebruary 21, 2011We chat with Chad about his breakthrough win in San Diego.
- 5 Minutes With… Ryan VillopotoFebruary 18, 2011Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto has been a consistent front-runner in the past two years’ Monster Energy/AMA Supercross Championship. This year, he has gone back and forth atop the points leaderboard with former champ James Stewart, and after the Houston round – where he came from outside the top fifteen to finish third – Villopoto holds a nine-point lead in the championship with eleven rounds left to run.
- Privateer Profile: Bruce RutherfordFebruary 17, 2011Bruce is a real privateer, driving to the races in a borrowed pickup truck and supporting his racing out of his own pocket. He is beating factory supported riders with regularity now and it’s just a matter of time that he starts getting support.
- Between the Motos II: Jimmy ButtonFebruary 16, 2011Button will be gearing up for a long ride from San Diego to Daytona, Florida on a bicycle trying to raise a million dollars for spinal cord research, a cause that Jimmy knows all too much about. It was at San Diego’s Quallcomm Stadium in 2000 that Button crashed and had his career-and life-altered.
- Between The Motos: Tim CotterFebruary 16, 2011Ricky Carmichael University Event Director Tim Cotter talks about this year's event.
- Monday Conversation With... Trey CanardFebruary 14, 2011I’m just in shock right now. Man, I feel like I didn’t even ride as well as I did in the last three races, but I was coming from the back in those. I really needed that, to get up front and ride up front.
- 5 Minutes with... Dean WilsonFebruary 11, 2011Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Dean Wilson was absolutely flying in the off-season. And everyone knew it. Including Dean. Just after hearing from Mitch Payton that he was slated to take on the Lites West championship, though, Dean went down and separated his shoulder. The immediate concern was how bad it was, so he could figure out if he could get healthy in time for the Lites East, and we talked to Wilson to find out how he’s coming along, since the Lites East starts up this Saturday night in Houston, Texas.
- Privateer Profile: Gared SteinkeFebruary 10, 2011Oh, I was pumped. Me and my mechanic were going crazy back at the pits after we found out I made it. It was the coolest feeling.
- Between The Motos: Matt BoniFebruary 9, 2011After a tough 2010 season, Matt Boni nearly found himself out of racing altogether.
- Monday Conversation: Josh HansenFebruary 7, 2011I just told myself, it’s only 15 minutes out of my life of pain. Everyone has always told me that I was soft in the past, so I figured if I was ever going to harden up, the time to do it would be when we were going for a championship.
- Monday Conversation: James StewartFebruary 7, 2011Yeah, I just felt comfortable. And when you’re on your game like that, you can get into those things perfect.
