Busy weekend!

This weekend is jam packed! X-Fighters kicks off the 2011 series in Dubai Friday, Supercross races through Seattle Saturday, Global Rallycross Championships holds stop 2 also in Seattle this weekend and if you're a music fan Coachella is going down too. Geesh, that's a lot of exciting things! And I'm not going to any of them...

Here's my plan though, if you aren't jet setting either feel free to follow along.

1. Watch X-Fighters coverage here. It airs at 1:15 ET.

Here's a little preview from ESPN.com/action

2. Follow @racerxonline and @twmxdotcom on Saturday for race play by plays since I don't get SPEED TV but it is live this weekend if you do, airing at 10:30 ET

3. Text my buddies working GRC for updates and watch the ESPN 3 broadcast Friday and Saturday afternoon at 3:30 PT

(ps here's a preview)

4. Dress up like a hipster, sit in the sun, turn up my Coachella band playlist...which I have yet to make.

Should be a fun one!

Peace, Love & Moto

shhhh

Yay!! The secret's out! It's been killing me trying to keep it in because it's beyond exciting. For the last few months I've been on hiatus from X Games and working on a top secret project. Now I can finally share! I've been working with Mattel on a world record stunt (with a still secret driver). Sooo check the video and mark your calendars for May 29th so you can watch us attempt this live at the Indy 500!

Brap Brap!

SICK! Fun edit from GoPro. Thanks JK for sending it my way!

AFMXA 2010

So this post is way late, I edited these videos for work and they never made it up during the hustle of starting Winter X season and our new blog I've been writing for "The Road to X" (xgames.tumblr.com)

But I decided these videos deserved to go up somewhere so here's a peak at the 2nd AFMXA national comp and Ramp Awards.

Also want to thank all my friends and followers for supporting my little adventure that is Lil Miss Moto. Hope you guys have enjoyed and look forward to more blogging and more moto fun in the future!!

What's on TV?

So I owe this blog and you readers some quality time, I just haven't had it. Working with X Games this summer was a blast and a dream come true and I can't even begin to describe how amazing, crazy and busy it was. I have full intentions of eventually posting photos of that and maybe a post... but right now we're all getting ready for Winter X (January 27th -30th in Aspen, CO!) So it might have to wait.

Anyway, moving on from the past, presently FUEL TV seems to have some cool new moto shows. I'm currently cable-less so haven't been able to watch Crusty's Dirt Demons but the trailer is killer and I might have to try to track down some episodes for myself. I believe the season ended this week. Anyone get to watch? What did you think? Here's the trailer for those who haven't seen it yet...

In more up to date news, Bubba's World is back on FUEL TV!! Returning December 2nd, this season seems to be a little more serious and intense than last season's antics. More about the sport and his training.. It looks good and I'm definitely hoping to have my cable situation figured out by then...

Anyway, I'm hoping I'll be able to post again soon. Just got my computer upgraded and it moves sooooo much faster so I feel like I've added an extra hour to my day!! So pumped! Oh but if you miss me, I'm doing mini-blogs daily for the X Games MySpace page at myspace.com/xgames so check it out!

As always,

Peace, Love & Moto

X and Y

So here I am again, a neglected blog, left without new content for what seems like ages. To be fair I've been off traveling and enjoying the beginnings of summer but more importantly I've started a new job over at ESPN helping market the X Games! Yes, it's as cool as it sounds. And this years X Games is going to be NUTS. So excited to watch it all come together and can't wait to see it all in action. The athlete lists are stacked, the courses are super gnarly and having it all in downtown LA this year is going to be mad fun. But while X is still about a month away (but buy your tickets here now!) I'll be out with the marketing crew spreading the word and passing out some sick swag (as seen on my twitter). So I'll be keeping you posted here on where we'll be and where you can pick up an awesome Bilko poster or a sick X Games sixteen skate deck.

First stop is the Long Beach Hood Games (although there won't be any of those Bilko posters I just mentioned, but we're gonna have lots of our skate poster featuring Bob Burnquist on hand. It's in Orizaba Park THIS SATURDAY (aka TOMORROW!!) from 11-4. So stop by, do a kick flip or two (or not) and grab your X Games 16 swag.

Oh and did I mention I'm still working for Group Y?! Not only that but they're having a moto panel discussion on the future of the industry next Wednesday June 30th!! And it's being held at the La Jolla Group headquarters (they're the big company Metal Mulisha is a part of) and being co-presented by Transworld Business.

group Y!

Hey everyone!

I know content has been slow over here, but I've been busy with a new job! I've been working on some rad industry profiles over on the action sports networking group, Group Y's website. Go check out groupYnetworks.com and you'll see my first two interviews, Stephanie Weber of SnL Communications and Blair Young from Boarding 4 Breast Cancer and get a look at the people BEHIND the brands and athletes.

Keep your eyes open there for weekly profiles (which I'll probably remind you of here too!) and I have some videos that will be over there soon as well!

And if you aren't familiar with group Y I HIGHLY recommend you check them out while your over there. They are THE networking group of the industry. Come by next time we have an event and mix and mingle (you can check out some of the amazing past events here). I'll be sure to post info here too!

Digitally Re-Mastered...

So some of you all might remember my first video of Ross Rides Day that I put up on this site where I did an interview with Mulisha general Brian Deegan... the video was WAAAYYY grainy and there were lots of awkward gaps and pauses. But now, as my editing skills continue to improve I'm proud to present to you the newly re-mastered video, where you can actually see our faces!!

So if you want to see the video in higher def and with quite different editing and composition of clips and such I hope you take the time to enjoy it again! If you haven't seen it, well then just enjoy!
