12/31/08- Robbie Maddison is one of the craziest human beings on the face of the earth. Tonight Maddo is going to step up 96 feet onto the Arc De Tromphe in front of the Paris Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Sure that sounds nuts, but once he lands the massive step-up, Maddo is going to then jump of the Arc! Be sure to tune into ESPN tonight at 8pm PT/11pm ET.

12/29/08- I am back in CA...for about 5 more hours. This afternoon I am driving to Vegas for the Red Bull Experiment. I will be shooting the event again for Red Bull. The Experiment is going to be an amazing, featuring the first back flip in a truck and Maddo's absolutely insane 100 foot step up and step down. Red Bull always has the craziest and most ground breaking events. Be sure to tune into ESPN New Years Eve at 11pm EST!

12/11/08- What's up everyone. I haven't really been up to much lately. Right now I am back in NJ. I will be heading back to the West coast for Maddo's jump on New Years Eve in Las Vegas. I will be there shooting the event for RedBull. The jump is going to be absolutely insane! In case you don't know what I am talking about, click this link to see what Maddo is doing on New Year's. http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto?post=3760597. Other then that, stop by your local news stand or dealership to pick up the January 08 issue of TransworldMX. It features my cover shot of Jeremy Lusk, 2008 FMX Rider of the Year.

11/20/08- The day after I posted photos from Deegan's house, the video card on my computer took a shit on me. This is the first time I have been able to do anything since I just got my computer back today. So last week I went with Josh Grant to snap some photos of him on his new JGR Yamaha at the Yamaha test track. Josh looks right at home on the 450 and turned the fastest lap time of the day. Check out the photos of Grant, Cody Cooper, and Broc Hepler by clicking the image on the right!

11/10/08- Wow a new update! I am back from my trip to the East and am now back in CA. Today I went to Deegan's and shot photos of the guys. It has been a really long time since I have shot photos there. It was good to get behind the lens again in a non-contest setting. Check out the photos!

10/21/08- Congratulations to Adam Jones for winning his second AST Dew Tour stop and first ever AST Dew Cup. Adam had a rough year and missed all of XGames. Not a bad way to end the year. If you watched the broadcast on TV you might have noticed Beau Bamburg sporting a Tedescophoto sticker on his helmet. Thanks for the TV time Beau. You rock.

10/20/08- The Orlando Dew Tour was a blast! Right now I am recovering from the event back home in NJ. I am back in NJ because I was supposed to shoot the radical new racing event Red Bull Metalicross in Atlanta on the 1st. I figured why not go back and visit the family for a week then go to Atlanta. Unfortunately, the event was canceled for reasons unknown and I was left with a plane ticket to NJ. The good news is that TSSUUU NIII, Mike Mason, is in NJ with me and we are looking forward to the time away from the West Coast scene. I am working on photos from the Dew Tour now and will have them up tomorrow. For now, you can check out my shots on EXPN.com, MetalMulisha.com, Osirisshoes.com, and Foxracing.com.

10/11/08- Life has been a blur lately for me. I was in Cincinnatti last weekend for Red Bull Soap Box. That event was a blast. Red Bull really knows how to put on an event. Then it was my 25th birthday on the 8th. I went to Perris Raceway with the Mulisha guys and turned a bunch of laps. Chill Will Topete came out and shot some photos of everyone. Check out his gallery here http://willtopete.com/photos.php?set=Perris_MX_Tedesco_Birthday. I am the stud on the YOT Yamaha in the sweet ass 09 Shift Faction gear. Thanks for the new threads Brian!

Right now I am in Vegas for the US Open of Supercross. It is hard to focus at this event because....well you know, it is Vegas. Haha. Probably doesn't help that I am staying with Mason and Jorge. Good thing I brought a bottle of Advil with me. I get back from Vegas for around 48 hours then head to Orlando for the Dew Tour. What a life.

9/30/08- Photos from the LG FMX World Championships are now posted. Click the image on the right to view all the action from Pomona.

9/28/08- The LG FMX World Championships took place this past weekend in Pomona, CA. The course was really technical featuring a dirt 6 pack, a ramp to dirt double double section and one straight ramp jump. This wasn't the kind of course to show off big banger tricks. Smooth style and linking together tricks in the rhythm sections were key to finish on top.

Last years winner and birthday boy, Jeremy "Twitch" Stenberg, came out swinging in the finals against Adams Jones and Beau Bamburg. Twitch was the only rider to flip every jump on the course. This gave him the edge he needed to take home his second LG Championship. Beau Bamburg rode great finishing second followed by Adam Jones. I am still working on photos. For now you can view photos on MetalMulisha.com and Osirisshoes.com.

9/15/08- Photos from the Salt Lake City Dew Tour are now up. Click the image on the right to view the photos. For more info on the event, check out EXPN.com, MetalMulisha.com, and Osirisshoes.com.

Lately I have been working for a lot of companies and the content on my site has been lacking. I am not happy about this but I have to pay the bills some how. The last thing I want to do is deprive you all of my photos, but it is what it is. To see my coverage from the AST SLC Prelims, check out EXPN.com, MetalMulisha.com, and Osirisshoes.com. Don't worry, once I get home and make all my clients happy, there will be a fresh new photo gallery from Salt Lake.

9/3/08- Can time please stop going so fast? Seriously, it is already September. Wasn't XGames last weekend? It sure feels like it was. Since I got back from Mason's, I did a shoot with the Mulisha for their new team autograph poster. I also did two EXPN blog updates. One was of Robbie Maddison's new house- http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto?post=3565974 and the other was a bike overview of Potter's bike- http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto?post=3554483. Tomorrow I fly to Philly for Red Bull Soapbox Derby. This isn't the kind of soapbox racing you did in the boy scouts when you were 10. There will be some crazy hand made engineless carts on hand to navigate a soapbox course only Red Bull could build. You will be able to see photos from the event Saturday night on Redbull-photofiles.com.

8/20/08- I am sitting here enjoying my final few hours here at Mason's house. I tried changing my flight to stay longer, but the flight was sold. This morning Mason and Bubbs rode at Miller's house. I snapped some shots of the two of them. The session ended with side by side whips. The shots turned out pretty cool. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

8/19/08- My trip to Mason's house is winding down. Tomorrow evening I head back to BroCal. I am so sad because I don't want to leave. It has been a lot of fun hanging out with the whole NV/HC! crew. A special thanks to Mason for letting me crash on his couch for the past week, and to Philly for the amazing home cooking. Nothing cures a hang over like breakfast burritos with 3 kinds of meat! Check out my behind the scenes look at all the great times we had while I was here. Be prepared to laugh your ass off. http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto?post=3543231

8/15/08- The content from the NV/HC! keeps on flowing. Check out this interview I did with Adam Jones about XGames XIV and his plans for the rest of the year- http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto

8/14/08- Hi Everyone. Now that XGames is long gone and the next Dew Tour is a month away, I finally have some time to relax. Since I am apparently incapable of relaxing and doing nothing, I booked a plane ticket to Reno, NV, destination Mike Mason's house. I will be out here for a week doing some things for EXPN's Brap Haps. It didn't take long before we did a funny update on Mason and Brian "Bubbs" Foster. Check out their secret talent by clicking this link- http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto

8/11/08- Check out the Brap Haps Moto blog on expn.com for an interview I did with Ronnie Faisst about landing his first 360. He went through a lot to finally land that trick and had a lot to say about it. Click the link to read it. http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto

8/4/08- I am working really hard right now on getting photos done for the site. I have over 2,800 photos to go through. Sadly, I have only gotten through around 250. I have a lot of clients that need photos and it is taking up all of my time. Hang in there folks. You will get your XGames fix soon enough provided my eyes balls don't fall out first.

8/2/08- What's up everyone? I finally have a moment to sit down and take a deep breath. I have been working like a mad man here at XGames 14. I have been supplying all the FMX content for expn.com, so check out the site to see some of my photos. You can also find my shots on metalmulisha.com, osirisshoes.com, and foxracing.com. Ok, time to get back to work. Be sure to tune into ESPN and ABC for the live broadcast.

7/25/08- Yesterday my first EXPN Brap Haps blog was posted. I went to Blake "Bilko" Wiliams and Cam Sinclair's new pad to get a tour and to interview them about living together in the US. Check it out here http://expn.go.com/expn/blog/moto.

7/22/08- There has been a serious lack of photos on this site lately. Working for clients and my brief hiatus in NJ has taken time away from my free shooting time. Flugtag was amazing. You can see my work on redbull-photofiles.com. Deegan set up a ramp at his new house that everyone has been sessioning. I shot there yesterday and today. I am working on photos, but I need to head back over there shortly to shoot some catalog stuff for Mulisha. To top it all off, starting Thursday, I will be helping out Ryan Leyba with the EXPN.com Brap Haps moto blog as the West Coast correspondent. For now, click the image on the right to view photos from Deegan's new house.

7/17/08- What's up everyone? I still haven't made the server switch. My hosting company is lagging and it is taking them over 2 days to get me log in info to the new server. Tomorrow I fly to Tampa to shoot Red Bull Flugtag. I am really excited to go shoot something that doesn't involve motocross. It will be a nice change of pace. Check out EXPN.com to see an interview I did with Brian Deegan about his predictions for XGames 14. Here is a direct link to the interview, http://expn.go.com/expn/story?id=3491670.

7/15/08- The site will be down for a day or two. Everything should be back up and running by the weekend. I am switching the site to a new server. Sorry for the inconvenience.

7/2/08- So what have I been up to lately, other then not updating the site? Let's see, I am still back east in NJ. With the current ridiculously high flight prices, it was financially smarter for me to stay here for the month instead of flying back a forth from West to East Coast. I have this weekend off for the 4th, sorry no Red Budd, but I will be going to Budds Creek the weekend after. Following Budds Creek I am going to Tampa, FL for Red Bull Flugtag. I am really excited for that event. It will be a great opportunity for me and a change of pace from the typical moto event. After that I fly back to CA and before you know it, XGames is in town. Stay tuned for more.

6/24/08- The first round of the AST Dew Tour kicked off this past weekend in Baltimore, MD. There was a stacked field of talent, but unfortunately, only 10 riders would make it into the finals. New for this year, riders ranked in the top 3 in points get an automatic spot in the finals. Nate Adams, Adams Jones, and Mike Mason did not have to compete in the prelims to make it into the finals because of their 2007 series rankings.

The little nugz, Blake Williams, was back for redemption. You may remember his scary get off after time in his second run last year, which wiped out the remainder of his 2007 season. Bilko was on fire in Baltimore, throwing huge real 360 variations and a massive back flip cliff hanger over the 70 foot dirt table top. He set the highest score of the day in his first run, turning 2 time Dew Cup winner Nate Adams into the hunter instead of the hunted. Nate gave it everything he had, but was unable to better Bilko's score. He would settle for second, followed by Matt Rebeaud. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

1st Williams, Blake 90.33
2nd Adams, Nate 89.33
3rd Rebeaud, Mathieu 89
4th Pagès, Thomas 86.83
5th McNeil, Jim 86.67
6th Jones, Adam 85.77
7th Lusk, Jeremy 84.67
8th Maddison, Robbie 83.73
9th Danielson, Nixey 83.5
10th Mason, Mike 82.97 .

6/14/08- Howdy Y'all. Today is the day for the first Red Bull XFighters on US soil. The course has been very challenging for the riders. Unfortunately, Eigo Sato and Dany Torres suffered crashes during practice and will not be competing this evening. Charles Pages had a scary mid air get off. I have never seen someone bail off the bike that way, only to get up and ride off. It was incredible. Jeremy Lusk and Robbie Maddison also went down. They are both ok and ready to compete.

I am shooting this event for Red Bull, with 4 other amazing photographers; Garth Milan, Christian Pondella, Rich Van Every, and Flo Hagena. yesterday was a long, grueling 15 hour day. If the photos weren't turning out so great, I might be mad that we were spending so much time at the event. Haha. Check out all of our work at Red Bull Photo-Files. It is constantly being updated with our work throughout the day.

You can also tune in live tonight on ESPN360.com at 9:30PM ESTfor a live webcast of the event. Be sure to watch, because the event is going to be EPIC!!!!!

6/11/08- Yeeeeeehaaaaaaaw! Howdy partners. This update is coming to you from Forth Worth, TX. I am staying in a small little historic cowboy town for the first ever Red Bull Xfighters on US soil. It is so hot and humid out here. Good thing the event is being held at night. To get you all in the FMX mood, I have a new gallery from Fitzpatrick's house. Click the image on the right to view the photos. Be sure to visit redbullxfighters.com for more info on the event. The contest will also be aired on ABC on Sunday, June 22
at 3:30-4:30 p.m. ET / 12:30-1:30 p.m. PT, immediately following the
IndyCar Series race from Iowa City.

6/5/08- I can't believe it is already June. Weeks are starting to feel like days. Where has the time gone? Tonight I am doing a sunset photo shoot with Jimmy Fitzpatrick at his place for the next Osiris Shoes ad. The weather today is awesome, so we should get some great stuff. I'd like to give a special Birthday shout out to Derek Garland. He turns 23 today. Boy do they grow up fast! Here is a special surprise for everyone, some wallpapers from the Glen Helen National. Enjoy.

5/28/08- I am off on the road again. This weekend is the second round of the outdoor series, but I will not be attending. Instead, I am off to Cabo to take photos at a fellow MX photographer's wedding, Cameron Baird. I have never been to Cabo before so I am pretty excited, even if it is for work. Wish me luck. I don't want to miss the shot and have the bride kill me.

5/26/08- The AMA Motocross Nationals picked up where they left off last year in San Bernardino, CA. For the first time in 2 years, Glen Helen motocross track hosted the opening round of the series. After missing the end of the 07 MX series, and majority of the 08 SX series, James Stewart returned in full force, sweeping both motos. Mike Alessi looked very solid, as he went on to finish second behind Stewart in both motos. Davey Millsaps and Tim Ferry battled for third all day long. Millsaps edged out Ferry for the 3-3 finish for third overall.

West Coast Supercross Champion, Jason Lawrence, came out swinging in the first moto of 2008. The Yamaha of troy pilot held off a hard charging Austin Stroupe for his first career moto win. Defending Lites Outdoor Champion, Ryan Villopoto, started outside the top 10 and made his way up to fifth. Ryan Dungey led early in moto two before being passed by Villopoto. Austin Stroupe was hot on his tail until a small mistake left him on the ground. Stroupe was able to salvage a third place finish for his first career Outdoor win. Villopoto and Lawrence shared the same results, but since Villopoto had the better second moto finish, he finished second ahead of Lawrence. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

5/21/08- Yesterday was a pretty mellow day at Deegan's house. That is if you think back flipping dirt bikes is mellow. Jimmy Fitzpatrick got off two really good seat grab flips and Twitch is getting great extension on his KOD flips. Lusk is working hard on lazy boy flips, which is why you won't see many photos of him in this gallery. You may notice Deegan looks a little bit different. His long movie star hair is gone and the mohawk is back. Watch out, because Little Deegan is sporting the same hair cut as his dad. The kid is barely 2 years old and is already popping wheelie's, doing nac nacs, and jumping his bike with training wheels. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

I also had Deegan, Faisst and Lusk in the studio yesterday. The guys pealed their shirts and threw on a Mulisha New Era hat for the upcoming Mulisha/New Era ads. You will be very happy ladies when you see Faisst in his "300" the movie pose. Haha.

5/17/08- Here are some new photos from Deegan's House. All the boys were out there riding and working on new tricks. Derek Garland has been perfecting his super flips and indian air flips. Twitch has been working hard on seat grab and lazy boy flips. They aren't perfected yet so you won't see any photos of them in this gallery. Potter and Fitzpatrick have also been working on seat grab flips. As soon as they get them dialed, there will be photos of it on the site. Until then, click the image on the right to view photos from Deegan's house.

5/9/08- Exactly one month ago I stopped by Nate Adams' house prior to the Navy MotoX World Championship. Nate, Bilko, and supercross racer Andy Bakken, were out hitting the ramps. I almost forgot all about all these photos since things got really busy and hectic for me after I shot them. I know there hasn't been much new content on the site lately. That is because the majority of the things I have been shooting have been exclusive shoots for clients. I hope to get some new stuff this week if the clouds would finally go away. Until then, check out the photos from Nate's.

5/6/08- Spending a week in Vegas may sound like a lot of fun, but I must say I am so happy to be home. Nothing good can come from being there that long. There are far to many ways to spend lots and lots of money. Unfortunately, my Vegas activities will have to stay in Vegas. I was there working for DVS, shooting photos of Carey Hart. I went everywhere possible with him to get photos of his new DVS Hart signature line. By the time we got everything done, I was wiped out and thought it would be amazing to watch a supercross for once. I had totally forgotten what it was like to be a spectator at an event. Look for new freestyle photos this week.

4/22/08- I was hoping to be able to put together a gallery of photos from our Baja trip, but it turns out a certain moto mag will be running a story on it. I need to keep the photos under wraps for now. I even had to pull some of the teaser shots down. Sorry about that everyone. I will post them as soon as I get the OK to.

Today, I am shooting Twitch in his new signature Mulisha clothing line. Be sure to buy lots of it when it hits stores. Next week, I am going to Vegas with DVS Dano, yeaaaaa brooooooooo!, to shoot photos of Carey Hart at his new moto facility. If I am lucky, I might get to turn some laps on the track when the shoot is done.

4/21/08- Here they are, what you have all been waiting for...photos from the Navy MotoX World Championship. I think this is the longest it has ever taken me to get photos up from an event. It isn't all entirely my fault. I had to work for clients on Monday, Leave for Mexico Tuesday, then recover till Sunday. Haha. Click the image on the right to view all the photos.

4/18/08- I have a lot of respect for the riders/drivers of the Baja 500 and 1000. I never knew what went into competing in it and how hard it is on your body. Our get away ride/photo shoot was a little over 300 miles and I feel like I was beat up by 10 people. It was unlike anything I had ever done on a dirt bike before. Riding 4th gear wide open a YZ450 down the beaches of Baja was amazing. Everyone had a great time, and the best part is that no one got arrested! The only bad part was that I now have over 3,000 photos to go through. Wish me luck. Here are a few sneak peaks at the ride.

4/15/08- As much fun as the Navy MotoX World Championship's were, I am really glad they are over. I run around like a mad man at these kind of events, trying to get shots of everything possible. Mix that in with 90 degree temps. and power hungry security guards, and you have borderline heart attack stress levels. I thought I was going to get to unwind after five, twelve-hour days of shooting, but now I have to go to Mexico for three days to document a Metal Mulisha baja ride. Sounds like fun, right? The bad news is that I won't have time to go through all 2,400 photos until I get back late Thursday night. I will be cut off from the world until then. For now, here are a few photos to hold you over till I return. If that isn't good enough for you, check out my work on EXPN.com. There are event recaps, blog's, galleries, and videos.

4/9/08- I stopped by Qualcomm Stadium today to check out the course layout for the Navy MotoX Championships. There was supercross practice early in the morning, followed by a quick FMX and Speed and Style practice. Not everything is completed yet. They still need to build the whoops and set up the rest of the FMX ramps. Here are a few preview photos. Check back through out the weekend for updates and for up to the minute coverage, stop by expn.com.

4/1/08- My quick stay at Mason's house is just about over. I am heading to the airport in a hour to head back to Temecula. It was nice to get out of the SoCal/BroCal scene and shoot at a different spot. Thanks Did. I would be staying here longer, but tomorrow Mason is going to Pablo Escobar's home country, Columbia, to do a show. A special thanks to Philly (Mason's mom) for all the great home cooking, especially the buffalo chicken strips. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

3/30/08- I got back to CA from NJ for 2 days and thought I was going to have some time to relax. Boy was I wrong. I got a phone call from Mike Mason's to head to the airport because he got me a plane ticket to come to his house. So here I am, writing this update from Carson City, Nevada. Stay tuned for photos from the NV/HC Compound. I did manage to get some photos of the Mulisha guys during my short stay in CA. Click the image on the right to view them.

3/17/08- It is time to play catch up, since I have been MIA for the past 10 days. Right after the last photo update, I flew to the Lake Whitney amateur national to shoot photos of the Red Bull Jams team. From there, I flew back to CA for 12 hours, packed some fresh clothes and got on a plane to Minneapolis for SX. Now I am back home in NJ for ten days. It is great to finally have a short break.

Now, onto the stuff you all really care about, Minneapolis SX photos. Chad Reed's string of bad luck continued. The birthday boy, who was sick as a dog, got a bad start in the main, fought his way into second behind Josh Hill. It looked as if Reed was going to get a birthday victory, but went down at the end of the whoop section. He would have to settle for 7th, losing more valuable points to Kevin Windham. 450 class rookie, Josh Hill, made an early pass on Ryan Dungey for the lead and never looked back. Ryan Dungey put in an amazing ride to finish second, followed by Kevin Windham.

The Lites class show cased a battle that will be one for the ages. Josh Grant and Ryan Villopoto battled for 14.95 laps, before Villopoto made the final pass for the win. The final section of track featured an off-camber turn that sent the riders into a step on, step off jump. Villopoto had the inside line, and Grant was on the outside. Grant attempted to square off the corner to cut underneath Villopoto. In doing so, Villopoto nearly landed on his head, forcing Grant to lay the bike over in the air. Martin Davalos finished third, followed by series points leader, Trey Canard.

3/7/08- It is time to get excited people. Here is your first FMX update of March. Ok, so maybe it isn't that exciting, but there still are some pretty cool photos in the gallery. I combined photos from 2 different sessions to make it. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

Be sure to tune into Fox Sports Network tonight at 11pm PST for the Best Damn Sports Show. The crew stopped by the Mulisha compound on Wednesday and they will be featuring the bad boys of FMX on the show tonight. For photos of the behind the scenes action, check out Metal Mulisha.com.

3/3/08- This post is dedicated to Useless Airways. Photos would have been up yesterday, but this amazing airline allowed me to get the full experience of Indianapolis and Phoenix airport. Instead of getting home at 11am, like my itinerary said, I got home at 8pm. On a lighter note, Chad Reed was back on top of the podium. He got the main event hole shot and checked out. It looked as if Davi Millsaps had second place in the bag, but a crash in a rhythm section late in the race, left him on the ground. SX class rookie, Josh Hill, put in the best ride of his young career to finish second. Andrew Short rounded out the podium.

Trey Canard was given a gift, when Ryan Villopoto went down while trying to pass him for the win. The two came into the final turn side by side. Villopoto was too far inside and clipped a tuff block. This sent him in a nose wheelie up and over the berm. Canard has now won his first two ever SX Lites races. Villopoto remounted and charged from eighth place, passing Nico Izzi with two turns left, to finish second. Izzi made his first podium appearance, finishing third.

2/28/08- Today Potter, Lusk, Bamburg, Twitch, Taka, and racer Derek Mahoney went to Fitzpatrick's house to hit the ramp. Everyone is starting to finally be able to reach deeper in their bag of tricks, since the rain has stopped. Click the image on the right to view the photos. Now I need to get my things together for the Indy SX this weekend. Check back ater this weekend for photos.

2/25/08- On Saturday, Potter, Fitzpatrick, Fluffer, and Ebanol put on a FMX demo for the fans of Nascar at the California Speedway. The weather was looking great until the last jump session. The pretty blue skies made way for dark storm clouds. The guys got their last jumps in before the rain hit. This was a major disappointment because it canceled Sunday's demo and the Sprint and Busch Cup races. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

2/22/08- All the rain here lately has made hitting ramps impossible. When the guys can't ride FMX, they fire up the 4-strokes and head to the hills for some trail/freeriding. The Mulisha, Jason Lawrence, and friends hit the trails for some fun.It was a nice change of pace from the usual tricks and flips I am always taking photos of. Click the image on the right to view what went down.

2/20/08- The other day a world class group of riders including Twitch, Sato, Potter, Rebeaud, Lusk, and Pages, gathered at Jimmy Fitzpatrick's for a practice session. There were so many riders waiting to hit the jump that it looked like a line at an amusement park to ride a rollercoaster. Instead of waiting in line, the guys could hit the new 120 foot valley jump. The pictures don't do it justice. Stay tuned for photos from a trail ride through Temecula with the Mulisha and Jason Lawrence. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

2/18/08- Houston, TX was a night of new winners for 2008. Kevin Windham designed the track and it wasn't that much of a shock when he posted the fastest lap times in practice. In the main event, Davi Millsaps got the hole shot and led early before going down in a corner. Windham took over the lead and never looked back. This was his first win since Anaheim 1, 2005. Chad Reed suffered a mid pack start, and couldn't;t come through the pack fast enough to catch Windham. He would settle for second, followed by Tim Ferry.

In the Lites class, Ryan Dungey got the hole shot, which Lawrence three positions back. Dungey's streak of miscues continued when he went down in the whoops early on in the race. Austin Stroupe and Jason Lawrence exchanged the lead a couple of times, with the victory going to Stroupe. Lawrence finished second, picking up 4 valuable points on Dungey. Lawrence has a 6 point lead over Dungey going into the final round in Seattle. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

2/10/08- Jason Lawrence and Chad Reed both kept the ball rolling this weekend in San Diego, winning their respected class. Ryan Dungey had another weekend he would like to forget about. His 6th place finish allowed Lawrence to take over the West Lites points lead. Reed had to work for the win this weekend. First having to pass Millsaps, then later battle him again after falling in a sand corner. Reed has extended his points lead to 45 points over Kevin Windham.

2/7/08- I took a break from watching Sportcenter replays of the Giants ruining the hopes and dreams of the Patriots and from training for Glen Helen 08, to update the site. There are two new FMX galleries. One is from Deegan's and the other from Fitzpatrick's. Click the images on the right to view the photos.

2/3/08-  Congratulations to Jason Lawrence and Chad Reed for their wins last night in Anaheim. Check the photos from last night. It is Superbowl time.

WAY TO GO GIANTS!!! Superbowl XLII Champions!!!!!!!!!!!

1/30/08-  I have been having some email issues the past 2 days. It seems I have been getting a large amount of spam mail and my hosting company has suspended my email temporarily. I have set up a form to send me emails, so things should be working now. I apologize to those who have tried to contact me and had their messages bounced back to them. Please click the CONTACT link to resend the emails.

1/27/08-  I hate to break it to you all, but i skipped last night's San Fran mudfest of a SX. After watching it on TV this morning, I wasn't too upset about missing the race. Haha. Congratulations to Jason Lawrence for nailing down his first career SX victory. I am pretty sure this is going to be the first of many, now that he has the monkey off his back. Reed looked good in the mud despite a mediocre start. Smooth riding and mistakes from the riders in front of him allowed him to capture his third win in four races.

You can also check out Ryan Leyba's MotoX blog on EXPN.com. Leyba was nice enough to include me in his latest update, talking about new sponsorships for 08. Look out, you might see me on the gate for A1 2009! Check out his blog here http://expn.go.com/expn/story?id=3159777.

Not a whole lot has been going on out here in socal. It has been raining almost everyday here, making it impossible for the guys to practice FMX. However, it has left us with some great conditions for motocross. Twitch, Taka, Garland, and I have been taking full advantage of the wet conditions. Maybe one of these days Leyba will come out and snap some photos of us turning some laps...hint hint Leyba!

1/23/08-  Yesterday Garland and I bought ourselves some 450's. Garland picked up a CRF450 and my homie, and quite possibly the best team manager ever, Chris McAvoy of YoT, set me up with a YZ450F. We went motoing with Twitch, Taka, and Ailo Gaup on our top secret outdoor track. It is a lot of fun being back on the bike again after 4 years of being off. I sure need to work on cornering with the tractor they call a 450. Thanks to Leyba for the shots. Click for a larger view.

1/20/08- GO GIANTS! BRING ON THE PATS!

Last night was 1986 throw back night in Anaheim. All the greats were on hand to meet with fans and sign autographs. The most inspiring moment of the night was seeing 1986 Anaheim SX winner, David Bailey, ride out onto the track for his introduction. To top it all off, Carmichael, McGrath, and Reed did a parade lap full of whips and Nacnacs.

Despite all the high notes of the night, James Stewart made a tough announcement to the crowd that he would not be racing due to lingering knee injury. Stewart re injured his the same knee that prevented him from finishing the Outdoor Nationals series, while preparing for the SX season. With Stewart gone, Reed was able to cruise to his second win of the season. Premier class rookie, Josh Hill, landed his first podium in 3 races, finishing second. Rounding out the podium was Kevin Windham, who now sits second in the points.

Jason Lawrence was the third fastest rider out of both classes. Unfortunately, he was unable to take advantage of his speed in the main event due to bike complications. Rookie, Austin Stroupe, led early, but was passed by Ryan Dungey. Broc Hepler was in tow, also making the pass on Stroupe. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

1/18/08-  Despite being sick, I went with Garland to Deegan's house this morning. It has been awhile since i have been out there. Since it is winter time here, even if it is almost 70 out, the mountains are covered in snow and make for some great backgrounds. Click the image on the right to view the photos. Anaheim 2 tomorrow. Get your mullets ready for retro night.

1/13/08-  Normally I would do a little write up on last night's race, but the Giants just beat the Cowgirls and I am too excited to write anything. Good thing the fans didin't bring a lot of popcorn for TO. HAHA! Enjoy the photos from Phoenix SX by clicking the images on the right.

1/11/08-  I went back to Fitzpatrick's house this morning with Derek "Pretend to get ready to go out, but really go to sleep" Garland. I had to shoot some photos with Robbie Maddison for a magazine. You will notice photos of a crash involving Maddo. He went for an Underflip and his steering stabilizer locked up. He was unable to straighten his bars, sending him sideways into the ground. Maddo walked away with just a nasty scrape. Time to get ready for Phoenix SX. Click the image on the right to view the photos.

1/10/08-  Riding in Temecula was back in full force today. The week of rain did a lot of good for Fitzpatrick's free ride playground, leaving us with moist dirt, and patches of green grass. The Mulisha boys, Nate Adams, and special guest, Josh Grant, came out to do work. You may notice some of the guys riding 4 strokes. Don't worry, everyone is staying on a 2 stroke (for now) for FMX, but while riding in the hills, the 4 stroke is a lot more fun according to Twitch. No one hit the ramps today, just the many perfectly sculpted dirt jumps. Josh Grant was throwing some of the biggest whips I have ever seen. Enough talking, click the image on the right to view the photos.

1/9/08-  Lots of rain makes for some great free riding out in the desert. Opportunities like this come along only a couple times a year, so we all packed up Twitch's motor home and headed out to Ocotillo. Derek Garland got the hero of the trip award for being the first to hit a new line on a huge step up and over jump the heck out of it. Twitch, Lusk, Bakken, and racer Mike Lapaglia were going off on it, throwing huge whips.

We adventured further out into the vast landscape, covering as much ground as we could to find jumps. Taka got his first taste of natural terrine riding, going long on a table top jump. The end result was a tweaked back. It was a successful trip and everyone had a lot of fun being able to get away from the ramps and go back to where FMX started. Click the image on the right to view all the action.

1/6/08-  It usually never rains in Southern California, except when Anaheim Supercross is in town. Some of you may remember the 05 mud bash. The rain came down, but luckily, stopped early in the morning. Mid day practice/qualifying was postponed till 5pm and cut down to one session per class. The track was slick and muddy, despite being covered all day.

Reed and Stewart both won their heats, setting the stage for a great main event. The two entered the first turn in the front of the pack, but only Reed would emerge, with Stewart down on the ground. Stewart was able to cut through the pack and move into second, but Reed had checked out. Ferry finished third.

The Lites main event started off with a six way battle for the lead. New comer, Dan Reardon, led early un till Lawrence and Dungey got by. The two swapped the lead, and as Lawrence was about to make a move, he lost the front end. Dungey would cruise to the win, followed by Lawrence, and Justin Brayton.

1/2/08-  Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe another season has gone by. I remember writing my first update from CA 2 years ago. Anyway, Robbie Maddison's jump was a great success. He was unable to go the distance he wanted to because of a bad head wind. The previous night in practice, Robbie was able to go 350. It was an amazing sight to witness. I was there shooting for Red Bull, so I can't post up a gallery like I normally would. I will see if I can throw up a few teasers, or you can go to www.redbull-photofiles.com to see what the staff and I came up with.

T minus 4 days till Supercross. The preseason buzz hasn't been running wild like usual. Not much talk about rivalries and who might be the spoiler. Does the entire motocross community all seem to agree that Stewart and Villopoto are both going to clean house in 08? We will see soon enough.
