There is an underground trend happening right now in R&D departments across the globe within the sport of motocross. To many, that revolution is out right scary! The thought of replacing the heart pumping "thump" of a four stroke engine with the "silence" of an electric motor is less than appealing to hardcore Chronic MXer's. Evolution, however, cannot be stopped. It is one of those things that is bitte ...

Just as in any booming market, monopolized by a single company, the motocross action-video market is finally getting some fresh new competitors to join in and compete with GoPro.

Thanks to James Stewart's hype and a host of ultra picky magazine test riders, almost everyone has heard that the new Yamaha YZ 450f chassis has room for improvement in the handling department. The claim is that the YZ450f has a tendency to get a bit loose heading into the entrance of certain turns. Ironically, those same complaints come from individuals that also confirm the new YZ 450f is without a doubt, ...

A new recovery drink named 'Kill Cliff' has successfully entered the motocross market. We could consider them 'the little guys' when compared to the billion dollar industry giants of Red Bull and Monster Energy. However, placing Kill Cliff in the same category as those sugary, caffeine loaded, giants would be a mistake. Kill Cliff is not an "energy drink"... it is a "recovery drink". Kill Cliff is much more ...

It's always a great feeling to finish off a perfect day of motocross riding, by watching an epic MX film or video...especially on a fat wide-screen. This tradition has actually been around since the best of them all was released, Bruce Brown's 1971 gem "On Any Sunday". Then came the early 80's trend via David Bailey's classic 'Inside David Bailey' showing off the early days of wicked slow motion in his 'Rid ...

One thing is certain, running out of gas while cranking out laps or blazing off-road trails is definitely no fun. Unfortunately, it is becoming all to common to see motocrossers run out of gas these days. I can personally count half a dozen times in 2011 that pro riders ran out of gas while racing. Ryan Dungey, for example, experienced a heart breaking crawl to a stop while leading the 2011 Freestone outdoo ...
