Malcolm Stewart Wins 2011 AMA MX "Rookie of the Year"

Cheers to DC's Malcolm Stewart for taking home the 2011 AMA MX "Rookie of the Year" award. Malcolm had an impressive intro season due to his hard work and his mantra of refusing to loose. Malcolm is the younger brother of Supercross Star James Stewart, he was named ROY at the 2011 Motocross banquet held at Pechanga Hotel and Casino, unfortunatley he was not there to accept his award.

"I felt I did really well this season. Definitely had some ups and down, but I just kept my head up and worked through it," said Malcolm. "I learned a lot this year and know what to look forward to next year. I'd like to thank my mom, dad, brother, Suzuki City, DC, Bell, Oakley, and O'neill- everyone who got me here today. Thank you!"

Keep an eye out for Malcolm this SX season, starting January 7, 2012 in Anaheim, Ca.

RJ Says: US MX GP at Glen Helen - my thoughts

I was very impressed with the layout of the entire facility - the pits, the press, the track ... the entire presentation.

Everyone from Glen Helen Raceway - Dr. Bud Feldkamp (track owner) to Lori (track manager), their staff including Carl, Steve, Bob did a great job in representing the United States and California in having one of the greatest motocross tracks in America.

I sat with Dr. Wolfgang Srb, President of the FIM Motocross Commission, and he was very impressed with the preparation of everything as well, including the track, especially with the fact that the event was put on with 60 days notice. He thought everything was top notch, and is excited to have the event come back next year.

Motocross of Nations 2011: Saturday's MX action and qualifying

Saturday's Qualifying at the 2011 MX of Nations in France. The Motocross of Nations at St. Jean d'Angely, France is the most prestigious MX race of the year. In today's Qualifying Races it was the Americans: Ryan Dungey (MX1 class), Blake Bagget (MX2 class), and Ryan Villopoto (Open class) all led every lap of their respective motos. USA dominated in an almost unbelievable fashion, thus scoring 2 points for the day.

The Italian team surprised everyone with a second best overall for the day and scoring 4 points. Italy's Antonio Cairoli gave Ryan Dungey everything he could handle in the MX1 qualifier, finishing 2nd on the day behind Team USA's captain. The host country's Team France, finished third overall for the day, with Chrisophe Pourcel finishing 3rd in MX1, Marvin Musquin 2nd in MX2 and Gautier Paulin 3rd in the Open class. They received 6 points on the day. France is one of the favorites to end USA's reign as MXoN Champions.

Roger De Coster said, "We have two riders with experience, and we expected to be on top. I was impressed with Antonio Cairoli, he put some pressure on Dungey, and rode great in some sections of the track. What this guy (Blake) did is amazing. It's difficult to come race the first time in Europe. The French team rode good today, and the Italians were even better than I expected. Of course Cairoli will do well, but I was very impressed with the other Italian riders. Remember though, today is only Qualifying. Tomorrow is what counts. We should not be over-confident"

Super spy glasses? or cheap piece of crap?

I have a history of buying crap you see on television and then being disappointed in it. Ab Cruncher, Egg Rings, the Esteban Electric Guitar. Well recently at the Good Guys car show, we came upon a vendor selling products that are undoubtedly over-priced and destined to disappoint. But, one of them offers what quite [...]
