I will make no secret that we fans of the POD MX Knee Braces at MXDaily. We had the first generation of the POD brace for years and although there were things on that brace that you would have like to maybe be improved, it was still a great knee brace at a really affordable price. In my opinion, the first generation of the POD's made high quality knee protection available to the average Joe. Instead of resting on the product they had spent years developing, POD went to work on make the brace eve

Taking third in Lierop’s heat one while runner up in the Championship Ken Roczen pulled out, 20 year old French Marvin Musquin became the 2010 MX2 World Champion and collected his second consecutive World Title. With KTM 350 SX-F mounted Cairoli winning the MX1 Title in Brazil, KTM got a full score today as they collected also the MX1 and MX2 Manufacturers’ World Titles. In 2010 KTM won Titles in both classes for their first time ever.Exploiting the experience of his first sea

It was a crazy day of racing at the penultimate day of racing at Steel City with Kevin Windham taking his first overall win since 2007 and Trey Canard edging out Pourcel in both moto's to cut the championship points race down to 7 with only two moto's to go. It was a tough day at the office for all of our Aussie/NZ/Scottish friends, all except Metty who was able to land himself on the podium again in second. Metty looked like he might take his first moto win in the first race but Kevin Windham w

Due to the injury he picked up in Brazil Shaun Simpson has been ruled out of the British team for the 2010 Red Bull FIM Motocross of Nations. This now opens the door for a possible return for Billy Mackenzie who came close to winning the Australian Motocross Championship this year. The British team lost Tommy Searle this week and now with Simpson also out they will depend on new recruit Dean Wilson, Jake Nicholls and possibly Billy Mackenzie or Brad Anderson to get the team in

A mini invasion of US Soil is taking place in the US at the moment with a strong contingent of Aussie regulars heading over to the US as well just as our US regulars are starting to find solid form in the closing rounds. While Ryan Dungey may well wrap up the title this weekend in Southwick, the battle between the Red Bull Honda rider of Andrew Short and our very own MXoN Captain, and GEICO Honda rider, Brett Metcalfe is heating up with Metty starting to chase down his fellow MXoN; MX3 rival!

After more than a week of training and testing since the Motocross Outdoor National race at Unadilla, a difficult decision was reached today by James Stewart and Team to withdraw from the remainder of the Outdoor National race series.  Due to his abbreviated Supercross season, Stewart, with the full support of his Team, had hoped to return to the track much earlier in the Outdoor National Series.  But a slow healing injury kept Stewart out of the series until recently, when he r

Kade Mosig has been working hard in 2010 to try and recover from an injury riddled 2009 season and hard work has been slowly paying off. Kade got better each weekend and was a great rep for Suzuki, Byrners, SP Motorsports and Rockstar Energy Drink... Kade has an image that is all his own at the races and a style on the bike that he owns! Kade has shown a bunch of improvement this year and he is looking to better his results again for Super X. We always love filming with Kade and here is a c

With three rounds left in the 2010 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championships, we've yet to see Ben Townley atop the podium, a feat many thought possible before the gate dropped at Hangtown earlier this year.  With Dungey's dominance and the extremely fast pace of this year's 450 class Ben hasn't quite been able to hit his stride and is still working harder than ever to make a win a reality.  We caught up with Ben in south Georgia last week while he was training with the GEICO Powers

The Brazilian Grand Prix handed overall winner Tony Cairoli and KTM their first success in the MX1 class since their association started at the beginning of the 2010 season, marking also the debut of the revolutionary KTM 350 SX-F which Cairoli exploited fully to win his fourth World Title in a hot day at Campo Grande. Ken Roczen took victory in the MX2 class after two battles with series leader Marvin Musquin, ending second overall.   Cairoli topped the podium from Italy fellow rid

The Tech 8 is one of those boots that will go down in moto history. It has been around what seems like forever and has won more races than probably any other boot on the market. It seems like Alpinestars had the opinion of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" for a long time with the Tech 8's as they only received minor upgrades over the years. For 2010 though, Alpinstars has gone to town on the new re-designed Tech 8 with a massive amount of visual, structural and performance changed that make th

It's not very often that a new company will step up to challenge the big tyre manufacturers like Dunlop, Bridgestone and Pirelli; but that is exactly what Blackrock Tyres is doing. While you may not have heard too much about this new company I expect that you will be in the coming years. Lusty Industries has just landed their first shipment of the new tires and we have been running a set on our Rising Sun Honda Project bike for maybe the last 5 rides as well as another one of our test bikes whi

James Stewart made his return to the outdoor series last weekend at Unadilla in an effort to secure a ride on the US team for the MXoN next month in Colorado. Stewart was told that if he was able to contest the last 4 rounds of the series then he would be open for selection in the team. However when he got to the track he learned that the team had been selected and he had missed out on a spot to Andrew Short... Here is an open letter from James on JS7.com   As many of you already know, las

MX Sports Pro Racing has released the pre-entry list for this Saturday's Rockstar Energy Unadilla National from New Berlin, N.Y., and as expected, a familiar and highly anticipated name is on the form. It's been 23 months since he last completed a lap at an AMA Motocross national event, but in just six days, San Manuel Yamaha's James Stewart will return to the sport for his Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship debut on Saturday, August 14.

Billy Mackenzie is back with Mac211 after a solid weekend at Coolum. After a season riddled with set backs, Billy was able to take the championship fight to Jay Marmont down to the last moto of the year. Although Jay got the best of him in the championship, Billy Mac was gratious in defeat and congratulated the 3-time champ. While this was the last Rockstar MX Nationals round for 2010, this won't be the last Mac211 Video you'll see! Mac211 Video: Coolum from Jason Macalpine on Vimeo.

The Open class Warriors of the Rockstar MX Nationals did battle over two days at Coolum to determine who would walk away the 2010 Champ. Despite a broken arm at round two of the series and a chest infection at the previous round in Moree, the flying Scott, Billy Mackenzie; still managed to take the championship down to the last round. All the major players are in this Redux video to finish out the season... Billy Mac, JM1, Waters, Simmonds, Boyd, Ferris and Cooper. Enjoy! MXDaily.com.a

The 2010 Rockstar MX Nationals is done and dusted... The last piece of roost has been thrown, tear-off pulled and gate fallen.

Unit caught up with Serco Yamaha racer Ford Dale practicing at his Sunshine Coast MX track. Ford is one of Australia's fastest, but a string of bad luck and injuries has stopped him from reaching his full potential. 2010 has seen Ford score some great results, and show he has what it takes to mix it with the best. Coming in strong to the 2010 Super X season, he will be looking to make a stand and put in a fast and consistent effort.Courtesy: Unit ClothingProducer: Allan HardyMusic: 'It's Funky'
