I recently did an interview with MotoAmerica Junior Cup rider Nic Swensgard. The 17 year-old Arizona native is a privateer of the highest order, balancing school, a part-time job, and racing along with social activities like being a youth leader at his church. The full-length article is here on the Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorneys Blog. … Continue reading Industry Spotlight: Nic Swensgard
The world of sidecar racing is pretty small, but there are still 100's of names out there, each with dozens of stories. Dick Hawes is a name I did not know until today, when I came across this piece about him on the Steve English website. The Isle of Man TT is quite well known … Continue reading Dick Hawes: The End of an Era

If the weather is no good for riding, or you find yourself with a free half-hour, I recommend spending it by meeting David Sanchez, the mastermind of BOTTPOWER and their Pikes Peak Project. This episode of Power Art goes to the BOTTPOWER shop in Valencia, Spain, to figure out how a Spanish engineer ended up … Continue reading Video: BOTTPOWER at Pikes Peak
The folks at Iron & Air turned me onto this killer animated short. Awesome detail that compliments the mood in a perfectly twisted way. It's a great Halloween share: lonely roads, unknown riders, the supernatural... oh yeah. Check out The Horde from Brutus Collective:
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.
