Science in action that just looks cool! With enough momentum, even something as big and heavy as a SxS can skip across the water’s surface like a stone. The physics behind this? Lift – the same force that keeps planes in the sky. In this case lift comes in the form of the reactive force […] More »

Saving that crash with style. Once in a great while the laws of physics actually work to our benefit and when that happens, always best to look at the camera as if that were exactly what you intended to do.

The impromptu safety lesson. What a nice man we found this week. After playing hopscotch in the driveway with the kids all day, he was kind enough to demonstrate the importance of ramp chains for the rest of us.

Hope he rides better than his old man. We think the goal of this one was simple – blue smoke bomb in the exhaust to let the crowd know it’s going to be a boy. The pavement doughnut and subsequent fail were all improvised.

Don’t have a pond? Not a problem. As off-roaders, it’s our duty to look at things in our daily surroundings and imagine what it would be like to shred em up. Examples include imagining carving a hot lap through a perfectly manicured golf course, crawling over those dirt piles on the construction site or turning […] More »

Almost had him. Cut-offs on the sides of trails make for a nice opportunity to make a safe pass or, if the rider going around the outside doesn’t commit, a nice brake check. It was the latter for these guys and fortunately, an opportunity for a laugh.

When your kids know what to expect. If you’re wondering how a quad load-up results in a guy getting road rash from sliding down his ramps, this week’s specimen demonstrates. His kid working the camera knew how this was going to turn out before he did.
