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

Motocross Top Tip No1 Wet Weather Riding

Jack Hawkins attacking the wet conditions at a recent training day

There is a good chance races will be in wet conditions here in the UK , and before you even swing your leg over the bike and head to the start line the race could be won or loss with what is going through your mind. In the mudder conditions prepare your mind that the conditions are great, even with it hammering down with rain, make your mind think  its sunny and dry and your riding will reflect this positive outlook. If you head to the start line with all sorts of fears because of the wet conditions, your riding will suffer some what. The old saying positive mental attitude will help you no end. Attack the wet conditions as if it is dry, ok you ll need to lengthen your braking, never shy away from using all your brakes in the wet. With good throttle control, good body positioning  and working on getting the bike in to high gears to drive through the muddy stuff , you will find drive and momentum will get you through. As much as you possibly can  try to shift your weight over the back wheel to aid traction down the straights this will help keep front wheel light and add weight to the back wheel to help with the all important drive. You will find the muddy wet conditions are just as much fun! Don`t be afraid to get out out on the practice tracks to get use to wet weather riding. Practice makes perfect and train to gain!
