The motocross whiz kid has been riding -- and falling off of -- motorcycles since he was 4, when his parents bought him his first bike (a Honda Z50). Now 23, the Davidsonville resident wows fans with his daredevil tricks, among them landing the first- ever double back flip at the 12th annual X Games this summer. (Pastrana's recent motocross exploits can be seen during the Jeremy McGrath Invitational, airing today at 4:30 p.m. on NBC.) You know, it's funny, a lot of the stuff that is the most fun to do isn't necessarily the highest scoring or the biggest. For instance, the double flip is 99 percent scary and, like, maybe a half-percent fun.

We went from a small laundromat-turned- Husqvarna shop with 1 employee to our current multi-building motocross empire in Southern California with over a hundred employees. We have seen two-stroke motorcycles rule the sport to now seeing four-strokes rule the sport, riding spots come and go and we’ve watched some eight hour days at the shop turn into all- nighters. No matter what we have faced, we believe the hard work we put into our products and services is all worthwhile when we hear praise from our customers. We have built pipes, tuned suspension and modified engines for legendary riders such as Rick Johnson, Jeff Ward, Damon Bradshaw, Jeremy McGrath, Photo: @EvilCameraGuy Ricky Carmichael, Kevin Windham, James Stewart, Ryan Villopoto and current stars like Eli Tomac, Chad Reed and Cooper Webb. Whether a product is for a factory guy or a recreational rider, we make sure both receive our 100% effort in giving them a product that is above the rest.

  • For His Monumental Contributions to the Early Years of Motocross, Dave
    For his monumental contributions to the early years of motocross, Dave McCoy is being honored as the 2015 recipient of the Edison Dye Lifetime Motocross Achievement Award! As its newest inductee, Dave will join the ranks of Roger Decoster, Rick Johnson, Bruce Brown, and others in recognition for his contribution as a pioneer in the sport of motocross. Dave also has the distinction of being the oldest inductee, as he celebrated his 100th birthday on August 31st! Amazing! Back in 1968 Don Rake and some friends decided to put on a motocross in Mammoth Lakes, California. They built a world-class track 8,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Dave McCoy came along and offered the backing of his Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and the rest is history. Every summer racers have flocked to Mammoth Mountain for this classic event. It is the oldest continuous running motocross in the USA. The track has changed a little over the years, but the fun hasn't. Year after year, Dave McCoy was instrumental in the continuing development of the "destination" races at the annual Mammoth MX. Many of the top racers in the world have honed their skills at this event. There have been some epic battles over the years and many racers have made a name for themselves on this track. Little did anyone of present day know that Dave created a fitness training center for dirt-bikers at his ranch in Bishop, CA. He also built a moto track right in his yard, so that everyone could ride there.

It’s July Fourth weekend in Sin City, time for the opening round of the 2008 AMA Maxxis EnduroCross series, presented by :Lucas Oil. Showtime is but a few hours a way, yet Peronnard is relaxed, talkative, and eager to explain what it is that he does. They say it’s a long way to the top in show business—professional motorcycle racing is show business, after all—and Peronnard, now 48, has been on the road for most of his life. Born and raised in France, he’s dreamed of making it big in the American motorcycle industry since he was a teenager. And he has. In fact, he may be one of the most innova- tive motorcycle racing promoters the sport has ever known. He built and still maintains the Bercy Supercross in Paris, and he launched the Las Vegas-based U.S. Open, along with EnduroCross and other niche events. He has accomplished a quite a bit, and he’s not finished yet.

Based on S the ABC “Superbikers” television show, which was filmed at Carlsbad Raceway and featured Steve Wise, Eddie Lawson, Danny Chandler, Kent Howerton and a host of dirt track, motocross and road race stars, the sport came into its prime in the early 2000s when the AMA started with its AMA Supermoto Championship. When the X Games jumped on the Supermoto bandwagon, it looked like the sport was on the verge of taking off. The 2000s were the heyday of Supermoto, and it attracted stars like Jeff Ward, Doug Henry, Jeremy McGrath, Travis Pastrana, Chad Reed, Kurt Nicoll, Micky Dymond, Ben Bostrom, Nicky Hayden, Carey Hart, Mike Metzger and more. Red Bull got involved, the pits were packed with semis, and the racing attracted a unique blend of top-tier athletes coming from motocross, road racing and freestyle to face off in the hybrid sport. Some guys were serious and competed in the whole season, while others would just show up for a race here and there.
