Feature Info:
The Fast and the Damned
MXGP heroes Jeffrey Herlings and Tim Gajser have five FIM Motocross World Championships apiece—largely because they’re rarely both healthy and racing at the same time.
Travis vs. Daytona
“I was like, ‘If we’re going to do it, let’s do it in the best vehicles we can. And let’s earn our way in, too. If I can’t qualify outright, I don’t deserve to be in the race.’” Travis Pastrana on his Daytona 500 adventure.
Privateer Math
“Any time you beat a factory guy or are in the mix, feels like a small win.” Behind the scenes with the privateer heroes of AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross.
Class Leader
“Graduating was a huge personal accomplishment for me because high school was the one thing I left unfinished.” Ricky Carmichael finds some personal closure thanks to On Track School.
