For our ’23 GasGas MC 450F Garage Build, we hooked up with former pro mechanic Eddie Laret. Eddie spent many years working with up-and-coming riders like Ryan Villopoto, Blake Baggett, Austin Stroupe, Mike Alessi, and Nico Izzi. After five years on the amateur tour, he decided to move to the pro supercross/motocross series. Eddie went on to work for the Rockstar Suzuki, MotoConcepts, Valli Yamaha, and Star Racing teams. He had a group of elite riders through the years, and they had some success. After starting a family, he decided it was time to find a 9-to-5 job. He’s a family man now who loves to ride dirt bikes and build beauties like this one. He has always been a mechanic who pays attention to detail and takes a lot of pride in his bikes.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
