What Is More Entertaining, MotoGP or World Superbike? – 07/18/17

As a racer, I love watching a wide variety of racing over the average casual fan. I’ll enjoy just about any race that has good coverage you can follow from world level down to local club racing. I believe you can learn something from every catego...

Why I’m not racing – Blog Post

I did this post a little differently this time. I wrote out a blog post, then I recorded a video of me reading and talking about it a little bit. Check out the video: https://youtu.be/Zrp8GFzepJQ" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Zrp8GFzepJQ
