Christophe Pourcel falls in the middle-ground on the chart of misunderstood-Frenchmen who come to the US to race.

We lost and I know it seems weird to USA moto fans but sometimes, that happens.

With one title still undecided, a virgin track and blistering heat, the Lake Elsinore finale had shaped up to be the pinnacle of uncertainty in a great MX2 battle. Oh, there was an MX1 race as well.

Much like last years MX1 title, Steel City brought a substantial shift in the points leading into the final round; this year it was the young guns providing the fireworks though. 

Every single rider out there had moments where it could have all been taken from them.

For as much as we hear people talking about the MXdN and how the US doesn’t have a National track that can even be considered prep for Lommel, the reality of Southwick this year was even less of a comparison…

Man this summer is just flying by. With round eight of this twelve race series in the books, we are 6 weeks away from the conclusion of the series. Don’t worry, I’ll pump my own brakes here before I get…

So much has happened in the sport since a year ago when my entire Swizcorner Millville column was spent chronicling Chad Reed’s legendary ejection and inspiring ride following the crash.

Round 6. The best dirt, an addictively fun layout, big air and sweltering heat… it’s Reddddd Budddddd!!!

It seems like a lifetime ago when in 2007 Ricky Carmichael was openly ripping the Budds Creek circuit for its degenerated and baked track surface.
