f you did a double take when you saw the cover of this issue of Racer X Illustrated, it’s understandable. After more than 20 years with our original magazine cover design, we felt the time was right to give our magazine art director, David Langran, a chance to update our look. The new cover features a Simon Cudby shot of Team Honda HRC’s Ken Roczen, shown at sunset at the Honda SX practice track below Corona, California. Looking at the new cover side-by-side with our very first, which was designed by Marc Blanchard and featured a Jeremy McGrath shot by Chris Hultner from that year’s Bercy Supercross, there’s quite a contrast—as well as some similarities, even with 237 issues of Racer X Illustrated in between them.
For instance, both were shot at night, both riders were wearing Fox Racing gear with white boots, and both were doing look-away whips. But Jeremy was an American doing a race in Europe, while Roczen is a European now racing in America. McGrath is riding a two-stroke, Roczen a four-stroke. Roczen is wearing a signature Red Bull helmet; energy drinks barely existed in 1998, so McGrath’s big sponsor was 1-800-COLLECT.
I came across your article when I was attempting to locate info on another nationwide magazine, Motorcycle World. Any good resources to find any of these “gems” today? I have a single issue with eight pages removed. I think my dad grabbed it to read while waiting for my mom to deliver me at the hospital. Any info on these magazines [Dirt Cycle and Motorcycle World] would be appreciated.
Eric Miller // Racer X Online
Hi, Eric: I have a few issues of each of those magazines, as well as some other lost titles, like Modern Cycle, Popular Cycling, Cycle Illustrated, Moto Cross, and more. I got mine from an old friend who was downsizing, as well as some ones left over from the Dick Miller Archives. DC
Been reading the magazine for years, and it’s always one of my favorites. After reading the March ’19 issue, I have to say this has to be one of the best I’ve read—the personal stories, Reed, Brayton, Sipes, and Marc Marquez! Very insightful and it shows more what these guys are about. Also, the short story about Sipes and TP and what they did in Puerto Rico, and 2 Tribes—Swanepoel wins for the best response ever! How many tattoos do you have? “None, you don’t see bumper stickers on a Ferrari.” Print is not dead. Keep up the good work.

“I’ll tell you who seen God was one of the track crew guys, because I almost just T-boned him. T-bone steak and eggs. I cross-rutted, landed on a Tuff Block, face-planted in practice. Sorry, guy.”

f you haven’t had a chance to watch or listen to The Whiskey Throttle Show yet, I hope you’ll check it out. I wanted to introduce a long-form interview show that was filmed and edited, and also shot in front of a live studio audience occasionally, to give fans the opportunity to get to know the best current riders, as well as the legends of motocross. To date we’ve had Roger DeCoster, Rick Johnson, Adam Cianciarulo, Eli Tomac, Jeff Emig, Jim “Bones” Bacon, Cole Seely, Ryan Hughes, and Ben Townley on the show, and they have all been incredibly candid and open—even Eli, who doesn’t normally say much! Our guest list for the next six months is going to be incredible. Off-road legend Malcolm Smith is one of the guests I’m really looking forward to. We’re lucky being in Southern California, where many of the current and former motocross racers and industry personnel live; it’s pretty easy to get them in to the Troy Lee Designs Saloon for the show. But there are some riders we’ll never get to talk to, and I wish I could hop in a DeLorean, fire up my flux capacitor, and go back in time to bring them back.

’ve stayed at the Anaheim DoubleTree for 15 years, but I had never even glanced inside Trofi. Hotel restaurants, for some reason, have a sort of automatic positioning as second-rate organizations.
This year, I finally visited Trofi, and I found it was actually quite good. Certainly underrated based on previous misconceptions. That was fitting, because I was eating dinner there with the Smartop/Bullfrog Spas/MotoConcepts Honda squad. This team is scratching and clawing its way to respectability, but it’s under the same cloak as the restaurant: those only familiar with the usual Anaheim order might not even realize the good work being done.
The MotoConcepts team has not always had a great reputation. For a while, I thought that was how team owner Mike Genova wanted it. Genova always went his own way, and it was usually against the grain. He asked us to call his bikes MCR (MotoConcepts Racing) 450s, to avoid giving credit to the manufacturers that didn’t support him. He kept Vince Friese on the roster at a time when Friese was known more for on-track incidents than results. Then he made the Alessi family—magnets for drama—the lead members of his team: Mike and (at times) Jeff as riders, and their controversial dad, Tony, as team manager. Drama, of course, followed (remember Washougal #lasergate?), but Genova would double down on his people, struggling more as the ropes got tighter.

SEEING RED | PHOTOS BY SIMON CUDBY, RICH SHEPHERD, AND JEFF KARDAS hrough six rounds of the 2019 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship, the red plate changed hands five times among four different riders in 450SX. The red plate to signify the current points leader was introduced in 2012—and only nine riders have held it! Thanks to @sxresearchdept, here’s a visual history of the red plate.
5 Things We Like About
Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 2 | BY CHASE STALLO
n February, Milestone released Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 2, which focuses on the 2018 Monster Energy AMA Supercross season. Here are five things we liked about the second iteration of the game.
1. GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is certainly different than the first edition, and the changes have really added to the user experience. One major difference we noticed is the use of the clutch. YOU DON’T NEED IT! Which, for people who actually ride, is difficult to get accustomed to. The jump physics have also improved. There is definitely less of a feeling of floating through the air, and the bike feels heavier. Cornering is much different as well—you need to hit your marks perfectly, use throttle control, and slow down to go fast. A much more realistic experience. The whip/scrub technique certainly could still use some work, but the gameplay is much better overall this time.
2. Customization
Milestone says there are over 3,000 customizable options in the second game. You have more options in regard to your rider—from height and weight to name and number size and more. The additions are great and really allow you to personalize your look. There are also tons of options to customize your gear, helmet, goggles, boots, neck brace, and bike parts.

As with all bike models, there’s a high-end all-carbon S-Works Levo that’s over $12,000 but the base aluminum-framed model is just shy of $5,000. Yeah, sure, it’s lots of money, but there’s lots of tech involved with an e-bike. There are three models of “help” with a Levo: the assist is 15 percent on the low end and an incredible 90 percent on the high end. You want to have some serious fun? Put a Levo in the top assist mode and you’ll have a huge smile on your face.
These are great bikes to get started if you’re out of shape, have a physical condition that prevents getting too high-stress, or have a parent/spouse you want to hang with you on rides. Steve Matthes
Operating the feature-loaded app (available for iOS in the iTunes App Store) is seamless, and you’ll find all the tutorials to get running and ready to lay down heaters. LapKing offers the ability to track your lap times through patented course-mapping software by recording your position with either your iPhone or their new GPS unit.
Every user can request to record a new track path, so the location database grows as more users sign up for the $2.99 monthly service. The price of admission to “The Home of Social Racing” is a bargain when you smash your friends’ times and jockey over who’s buying dinner later. Jeff Crutcher

Fun Bikes: KTM 1090 Adventure R | WORDS AND PHOTOS BY SIMON CUDBY
here’s no doubt that the KTM 1090 Adventure R is a chunky bike, but it’s specifically designed for off-road action and eating up highway miles at a rapid pace. If you have the wanderlust and you see a big adventure in your future, keep reading.
Introduced in 2017, the KTM 1050cc twin has plenty of grunt, with 125 hp and a wet weight of just over 500 lbs. Off-road handling on fast fire roads is surprisingly good due to the front and rear WP suspension, and this bike can handle a lot of abuse. The suspension was custom-developed in the California desert by KTM’s R&D team based in Murrieta, California.
Personally, I try to avoid too much sand and single track, but that’s because I’m just an average guy in terms of skill level. Riders like KTM’s Quinn Cody, Mike Lafferty, and Chris Birch can really do amazing things on these machines, though. (Just do a Google search for “Chris Birch KTM.”)

ump for show, corner for dough . . . right? Well, that’s what we thought when we chose this sequence for our first Motocross 101 segment. This new feature will show various motocross and off-road sections and narrate the most technically correct way to negotiate them.
For this installment, we shot a technical right-hander that dropped down in elevation and had a decreasing radius. It was tricky because once you commit to sitting down and putting your leg out, you don’t have use of your rear brake.
Generally speaking, always try to enter a turn from the outside of the previous straight. That opens the turn up and allows you to carry more momentum in and through the corner. You can see I’m on the brakes, looking where I want to go and engaging the clutch slightly to keep from stalling. Don’t pull the clutch all the way in—the engine brake is your most consistent means of slowing, and it keeps your front end planted.
You’ll notice in this image that my foot is plowing through the dirt on the inside. This is another reason to stay standing until you reach the actual apex of the turn. When standing, you have better control of the bike through bumps and ruts, and you also have use of the rear brake.
Casey Cochran: This year has started off great. I traveled out to SoCal for the kickoff of SX. Suzuki had us out to A1 for the 2019 team kick-off. The next two weekends we traveled to Glendale and back to Anaheim 2 to race the SX Futures events.
Do you prefer indoor-style racing over outdoor? Or what do you like about both?
That is a hard choice. I like them both. In past years, I would have definitely said MX, but now that I’m on the RM85, I’m really starting to enjoy SX. I had an opportunity over the winter to train on real SX tracks, and it has been huge for my SX confidence. The Futures races have been a blast. I love racing in the big stadiums, plus JGR has been providing us great support at these events. They have made us really feel like superstars.

e’ve all been there before: the dreaded mud race. If you’re not Aaron Plessinger or Justin Barcia, you’re probably not feeling stoked about it. Here are a few tips to make sure your bike is ready for the challenge.
The first thing we did was pack foam anywhere we thought mud, dirt, and rocks might lodge. The foam creates a barrier so debris can’t get caught. We put a piece down in the skid plate, we ran a piece behind our brake pedal, and another around the water-pump case. (Rocks can actually get stuck and wedged between the brake pedal and the case, holding the brake down.) We also put foam behind the shifter, freeing it of debris and allowing for smooth shifting. And here’s a pro tip: you can secure your foam with zip-ties and cut the ends really sharp in order to stab through the foam with ease.
After that, we put a little piece of foam (with glue) in each end of the axle so mud and water can’t lay in them.
kay, more like Two Races, One Page. When Fox Raceway at Pala returns to the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship on May 25, Memorial Day weekend, it will mark the third time that the Southern California venue has been on the schedule. Back in 2010 and ’11, what was then called Pala Raceway hosted the final round of the series in September over Labor Day weekend. It’s pretty hot in that area late in the summer, but hopefully the move to the front of the schedule will bring cooler weather for both riders and race fans.
One rider who hopes he stays hot at Pala is Dean Wilson. While Ricky Carmichael holds the record for race and moto wins at pretty much every track on the schedule, it’s Wilson who ranks as the best ever at Pala. (Okay, RC actually retired in 2007, so he never raced at Pala, nor Ironman, or the new Florida round at WW Ranch—but he’s the GOAT at the other nine tracks on the current schedule.) Riding for Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki back then, Dean swept all four 250 Class motos at the two Pala Nationals, giving him the edge over Ryan Dungey, who won both 450 nationals at Pala but dropped a moto to Ryan Villopoto in 2011.

CS: Probably my dad when he walked me down the aisle.
AH: My husband.
Which one of you could destroy a golf cart faster?
CS: Probably me. I’m the cautious type, but put me behind the wheel and my inner Jimmie Johnson pokes through and it’s game on.
AH: With my driving skills, probably me.
Most ridiculous person in the pits?
CS: People probably look at me like I’m the ridiculous one. “Here comes that lady and her dog again.”
AH: I’ll bite my tongue on this one.
Best part of being a racer’s wife?
CS: Just having a part in something so special. I like to think we can use Ken’s story and platform to help spread inspiration to others.
AH: Getting to support your man doing what he loves! Watching him succeed is even more rewarding.
Most annoying part of being a racer’s wife?
CS: The injuries. And seeing people tug and pull at him like he’s an object. It gets kind of ridiculous at times.
AH: Injuries.
Favorite motocross movie of all time?
CS: The Great Outdoors—all of them. Can someone please do those again?
AH: Motocrossed.

Best part of being a racer’s wife?
CS: Just having a part in something so special. I like to think we can use Ken’s story and platform to help spread inspiration to others. I love seeing the smiles on people’s faces who come out to cheer on Ken, and to listen to the stories of when they’ve looked to Ken when they’ve needed strength.

CS: My mountain bike. The poor thing just sits on the wall, and the boys always give me such crap about it.
AH: Our TV.
Favorite food?
CS: Homemade burgers.
AH: Anything Greek, or sushi.
One place you would like to travel to?
CS: South Africa.
AH: Bora Bora.
Will Posey: The day I raced X Games was one year and one day after my accident. I had just gotten my bike from Chad Sanner at Eleven-10 Mods. We were doing some testing and I wanted to do some motos. I went straight over the bars in the whoops. I don’t remember anything because I was knocked out, but they said I landed on my head and folded like a taco. I broke my upper back, T3. I had feeling and movement, but it was laggy, like my legs were asleep. At first they were transferring me from a smaller hospital to a bigger one so I could get surgery to stabilize, but then they told me with a back brace I’d be good. So I went home, and after a while I noticed when I was laying in bed it was kind of hard to move my toes. I tried to get off the bed and collapsed—my legs wouldn’t work. So I was back to the hospital, and sure enough I was straight to the surgery room, and there it went.
