Hammerhead Designs was launched with the intent to provide new and better parts and innovative accessories for motocross bikes. One of our goals has been to design entirely new and unique products with improved ergonomics and the shift lever was the first part that we felt could be dramatically improved by providing a feature that would allow for the shifter to be repositioned to perfectly suit the riders size, shape, and preference.

It’s that time again… Let’s delve deep into the minds of the riders, Toronto style.
Lap 1
Ken Roczen: I wish I had my cell phone for a holeshot #selfie!
Justin Barcia: I think I’m in 2nd but I can’t see shit! I do see orange though and it looks inviting.
Justin Brayton: This is more like it! I bet Weege is fist pumping the press box like The Situation.
Ryan Villopoto: So, after the first turn we go left? Don’t leave me Brayton, I need directions!
Ryan Dungey: Hey RV, you lost? Hey, by the way, the race is only 10 laps this week. Just head back at the 10 lap mark and we will all meet you back in the pits. Don’t worry, its all kosher.

Dean Wilson: If I get stuck here again for a month, I am going to be PISSED. Weston Peick: I don’t believe in 7th place. I hope all of you factory pansies choke on your millions. |
Mike Alessi: Hey Weston, go beat those dudes up and we can be podium buddies! Hug?
Ivan Tedesco: This bike is FAST. Weird.
Andrew Short: If Nate draws a cat on my pit board, I am going to lose it. Although, he is a superb person and an asset to all of humanity. I love everyone.
James Stewart: Yawn… You dudes ready to learn how to ride this track yet? Lemme know, I am hanging out back here for a bit.
Josh Hill: 12th place is nothing to backflip about.
Matt Goerke: Is Canada in the USA? It’s cold here. Why does everyone talk funny?
Wil Hahn: Hey KW, thanks for the help with the starts! I should have listened to LaRocco. Oh, wait…

Jimmy Albertson: I have a British wife named after a former Russian territory/American peach state, a dog named after a British magical wizard and am linked to a PBR drinking redneck Oklahoman named Ronnie Mac. How in the Hell did I pass customs? |
Adam Enticknap: I’m in 16th place, yo! This track is the sickest! I wonder how RV is looking out here? Dude is a BEAST!!
Nick Wey: Should have switched that shock! Dammit!
Nick Schmidt: Hey Seven Deuce Deuce, where you at fool? Hold up a sec and lemme get next to ya. You think Subway is still open?
Cody Gilmore: 3 out of last 4 son! I survived cancer.. You think a bad start will bother me?
Daniel Meynet: My first main event! How many laps is this deal?
Preston Mull: 21st isn’t a good start but I will take anything over the stands. Main events rule!
Ronnie Stewart: Hey Preston, this main event thing is cool, right? I could get used to this.
Lap 10
Justin Barcia: I was blind.. But now I see! This supercross thing is easy when you can see where you’re going.
Ken Roczen: Barcia, seriously. If you whip it in my face tonite, I am going to blitzkrieg your funky ass.
James Stewart: Hmm, I have 10 laps and only need about 3 to end this. What’s on TSN?
Justin Brayton: I’m still here. Anyone notice me? I’M RIGHT HERE!
Dean Wilson: Please don’t pump up, please don’t pump up, please don’t pump up, please don’t pump up…

Andrew Short: I love Canada. And everyone… And everything.
Jimmy Albertson: Ok, to clarify, my wife loves Harry Potter and he’s a really cool dog. I don’t have any weapons in my bags and won’t be visiting a farm or livestock in the next 10 days. Can I go now?
Nick Schmidt: Hey Matthes, how much do you think my hair is worth on the open market?
Cody Gilmore: My numbers are huge!
Adam Enticknap: Halfway to Subway! This rhythm section is like cheese! Really, really, really, really, wack!
Wil Hahn: That hurt. A lot.
Lap 20
James Stewart: I am not sure if you guys are aware of this, but I am #2 on the all time win record for a reason.
