The father of the Lawrence brothers, Darren, is on to talk about his sons finishing 1 – 2 in Denver to make history and incredible rise  in general since coming to the US. Phil Nicoletti was in an especially sour mood this weekend but with only one SX to go, he comes on anyway to fill us in on his mood and to share some laughs with Weege and JB. Wil Hahn checks in because he is just a friend of the show and doesn’t need a reason. We take care of the PulpMX Yamaha Privateer Challenge YZ450 raffle during the show and with JB and Weege in studio, how could you ask for anything more. Head to ..read more

For this edition of Classic Steel, we are going to take a look back at Honda’s all-new 2000 XR650R. Honda’s all-new XR650R was not the WR426F competitor some had hoped for, but for XR enthusiasts it offered the reliability, quality, comfort, and performance the big red thumpers had become legendary for. Photo Credit: Honda In 2000, Honda set about replacing one of the most successful and iconic off-road machines of all time. Originally introduced in 1979 as the XR500, Honda’s big-bore four-stroke quickly became the preferred machine of desert rats and off-road four-stroke enthusiasts. The bi ..read more

When it comes to handlebars, it is very particular between each rider. However, I have and still am a big pain in the butt with a rider triangle. The height, width, rise, and position is very important to me between each bike that I test/ride. I find that you can’t run the same handlebar bend on every bike, even though I like a bend on one bike, sometimes it doesn’t feel as good on another. Every bike has a different rider triangle so sometimes you must adapt to different bar bends if you change motorcycle brands. As the years progress, dirt bikes evolve as well as their dimensions so don’t be ..read more

Jett Lawrence has led 181 out of the 394 total laps so far in the 15 rounds of the 2024 Supercross season. This is good for 45.94%.  This is a very impressive rate on its own and especially as a rookie and with the other competition that has remained healthy. So how does this compare historically? Unfortunately, we can only go back to 2003, as this is when laps led data is publicly available back to. However, we have over 20 years of seasons to compare to (but again we can’t compare to the McGrath era or early Carmichael premier class years). The comparison is based on laps led percentage ..read more

It’s crunch time and the points leaders in both classes are feeling the pressure as the championships come down to the wire. With Philly being a new venue, there isn’t a lot of notes these teams can take down for spec reference so getting these bikes dialed in for the type of conditions they faced is tough. However, from what I was told by a couple team managers was that the track didn’t break down as bad as they thought it would. The 250 class was a fun one to watch while the 450 class wasn’t quite as good. Here are some notes from the city of brotherly love. Chase Sexton: Looks like Chase’s ..read more
