WMX Rider Insight: Vicki Golden's 2010 Season Review
When Vicki Golden turned pro in 2009, she went into the season open minded; she just wanted to see how she'd do in the Pros. It worked out pretty well for Vicki as she consistently finished in the top 4 in the first 5 rounds of the 2009 WMX season. After a season ending injury to Trey Canard, Geico Honda gave Vicki an opportunity to ride Trey's bike the remainder of the season of the Women's Motocross Series. It was a great experience as she finished 4th in Colorado, but her season ended prematurely as she injured herself in a practice session at Perris Raceway before the 6th round in Washougal.
In 2010 Vicki came back healthy and was picked up by Moto Concepts Yamaha. She wasn’t as consistent as she expected, but she did finish the season 4th overall points, with a 3rd place finish at the Pala Raceway National. In 2011 she will be running the #4 plate in the AMA Women's Motocross Series.

RJ Says - Supercross Safety 2012
Anyone who saw what happened with Trey Canard and Ryan Morais at Dodger Stadium Saturday night knows that it was a horrendous crash. Nobody likes to see that. Unfortunately that’s part of our sport, and crashes do happen.
I’ve heard opinions from everybody about how it could have been prevented. What it comes down to is that two guys were trying to occupy the same space at the same time and wound up going down very hard. It was a scary crash - it affected a lot of people in addition to the two riders.
What I would like to talk about is how Feld Motorsports, the AMA, track personnel, and the Asterisk medical crew handled the whole situation.

Rutted Corners
There are two obstacles you will always have to face on the track: ruts and corners. Combine the two and traversing themcan be frustrating. The power and torque that modern four strokes produce is pretty incredible and lines get dug out quickly. Corners are the backbone of speed which makes it essential to be extremely [...]

The Winter from Hell, and the first ride of Spring
I was beginning to think this Winter wasn’t going to end. Seriously, we had snow flurries as recently as Thursday of this past week. That’s APRIL, y’all, and that hardly ever happens in Iowa! (It does happen though… way back in 1973 when yours truly was 10 years old, we had 18 inches of snow in early […]

Long Ruts on Straights
Nothing reminds me of motocross more than a rutted up, fast, flowing track. This is the pinnacle obstacle that separates the men from the boys. If you watched Southwick this past weekend, then you saw the insane ruts in the moist New England sand. Most beginners find themselves nervous approaching long ruts and often end [...]

A diet program to prevent arm pump
I stumbled across this program that claims to get rid of arm pump. It appears to be based on a strict diet regime so it may be hard to stick to so I’m a little skeptical. Has anyone tried this out for themselves? It’s written by former state Australian motocross champion Steve Smith. You can look […]
