DC SHOES: MOTO - DEFINED BY DC

DC promised to drop this video on the 15th January so we've been waiting with bated breath to see what would be in store when the like of Pastrana, McGrath, Maddison, Canard, Stewart,Cianciarulo and other DC athletes got together to have some fun for a big promo movie.


In the office, the final result has divided opinion. Some have declared it "One of the most epic moto movies they have seen for a long time", with "Great riders, great locations, massive hucks, Pastrana and fireworks!" Others feel like such a build up has left them slightly underwhelmed. What's with the random clay pigeon shooting? Could the only afford about four rockets for the fireworks scene? Why so little bike sounds?

Take a look at the video and make your own decision. What do you guys reckon?

Rockstar Racing Supercross Team: Training Day

This is the second episode of Rockstar Energy's Beyond The Finish Line series, which give us more insight into the world of it's Motocross athletes: Jason Anderson, Ryan Sipes, Daniel Baker, Nico Izzi, Blake Wharton and Davi Millsaps. We thinks it great to get an insight into what these riders have to go through away from the circuit and, for anyone who fancies themselves as a racer, an indication of the level of commitment and hard work that they have to go through every day to be ready for a race. It's particularly interesting to see the little differences between all the riders when it comes to their training regimes. Even within the Rockstar team, big man Millsaps can't spend too much time at the gym for fear of bulking up and Ryan Sipes likes to ride BMX because it gets his heart-rate up better than cycling on the road. Either way, it looks like a lot of effort. Where'd we put those Krispie Kremes? If you want to see more, check out the first episode of Beyond The Finish Line here

Ronnie Mac At Anaheim 2



Are you still keen for some Ronnie Mac action? Once a viral video star, now an officially signed 'athlete' for FMF racing, the hard-drinkin', overall wearin', redneck good rider headed out to Anaheim 2 recently to sign some autographs and make a scene in the pit area. Don't get us wrong, it's great that the moto community has accepted the parody character as a bonafide celebrity but we can't help feel that the joke has run very thin now. There is only so long someone can pretend to be an asshat without everyone just believing it. Maybe we're getting hipster about it. We liked Ronnie Mac before he was cool.

James Stewart Announces His New Official Motocross Gear - Seven MX!



Rumours have been circulating for a while but James Stewart has finally announced his official line of MX gear, created by Troy Lee Designs. As the man himself points out, this isn't a lazy collaboration with his name attached - this is a custom range that he claims will be "sports driven and performance balanced... Seven brand will be completely different. If you're a serious motocross racer or just a guy that wants to have fun, Seven brand is going to give you a benefit over everything else."


Bold claims, Bubba but we've got to admit that the kit looks sick! Fingers crossed that we'll get some for the FreestyleXtreme store very soon. Keep an eye out and we'll let you know as soon as we get our hands on it! In the mean time, you can follow Seven MX on its Facebook page
