Top 5 Riding Songs

While I’m far from a music aficionado, who doesn’t like to listen to a few good songs on the way to the track, something to get you rocking? I’m assuming plenty of other guys have considered this (girls, as well, if you want to be politically correct), but I’ve thought of strapping my MP3 player to the top of my helmet so I can listen to whatever I like while I ride, and I say the top of my helmet as I figure that’s the least likely spot to suffer damage in the event of a wreck, which I do often.

I’ve seen my fair share of riding/racing videos, including The Great Outdoors: Another Perfect Season, which I believe ranks up there with one of the best racing videos made, and whoever edited the film did a fantastic job of compiling the soundtrack. What I’m trying to say is, certain music just makes you want to throw a leg over a seat and bang it up through the gears.

Respected in the Motocross Field as Physician and Fellow Rider, Dr. Mark Sanders Advises Young Athletes

HOUSTON -- When not racing along side, Dr. Mark Sanders is advising young MX riders on how to avoid common motocross injuries. Always accessible to his fellow riders, Sanders has earned the respect of motocross athletes across Texas with his unconventional approach to treating injuries that’s returning athletes back to their sport faster than traditional treatment - and stronger than many were before.

“It’s amazing to me that so many athletes with poor ACL surgeries were simply living with a limp and overall poorer quality of life. This doesn’t have to be the case. If they have the desire, we can get them back stronger than they were before. Our ACL athletes are back on their bike, not in a brace, in three months. And back on the bike is where someone with this kind of passion should be,

Another successful Thumper X round for Husky Chix

Husky Chix team rider Brooke Thiemann again impressed onlookers at Round 2 of the Thunder X Series held at Hervey Bay over the weekend, finishing equal 3rd on points for the round, keeping her in 3rd position in the Championship.

The Women’s Unlimited Championship was always going to be a tough battle, especially with the return of Tamara Gray fresh from racing in the US.

Thiemann’s consistency in the wet and rough conditions, saw her avoid any incidents as both championship contenders Jesse Slade and Rebecca Bateman came unstuck during the heats.

“I actually really enjoyed the conditions out there today. The track was well watered early in the morning, but as the rain came down later in the day the track became more challenging.

The hands that follow the eyes

I’m convinced that one of the largest keys to speed in motocross and supercross--and road racing too, I suppose, although I’m yet to throw a leg over a street bike--are the eyes, which follows the old adage, “The hands follow the eyes.
