Sidecar Racers: Hanging Out On The Job

With no coverage of sidecar racing here in the US, we try to make our own. Some organizations have rules about what can be mounted and how it's mounted, limiting what we can capture on camera. No such problem existed when the SRA-West met up with MotoAmerica, the national Superbike series, at Utah Motorsports Campus. … Continue reading Sidecar Racers: Hanging Out On The Job

This old advertisement for a Taiwanese bank came through my suggestions recently. I first saw it at a moto-filmfest and I'm embarrassed to admit, it was the most memorable film of the event (after the Outlaw Emmett Deemus of course).

My favorite project, Sarn, was fronted by my close friend Jay Bartell (aka Jay Walken). Jay was majorly influenced by … Continue reading Chris Cornell: RIP 2017

Interview: Flat Track Champion Bryan Smith

I recently got some time to talk with Bryan Smith.

The interview is pieced together in this piece that is now live on Motorcyclist Magazine's … Continue reading Interview: Flat Track Champion Bryan Smith
