Carey Hart is one of the most recognized names in all of freestyle Motocross. His father bought him his first motocross bike when he was only four years old in hopes of spending some quality time with his son. However, what had originally started as a father and son pastime quickly turned into Carey’s passion. By the time he entered his first local race as an amateur, he was hooked and by high

I was at the gym yesterday morning, watching the mindlessness of the Today show--hey, its good for not falling off the treadmill--when this story came on.What has sparked the sudden re-interest and media feeding frenzy is that the prosecution is now claiming that

If you have a moment, check out this article I happened across on Target. I am not an avid reader of Fortune Magazine, but I am a fan of Target's Marketing and Branding strategies, so this cover story caught my eye when perusing the greasy, dog-eared magazines at the gym this morning. It was absolutely worth the read, sweat stains and all. I pulled the nice and shiny e-version for you all here.

Unfortunately the two news items of note today are both downers.First, EXPN has announced they have canceled Vert Skating for this Summer's X Games (along with killing BMX vert as well). This seems like a strange decision to us. While it can be accurately argued that kids don't really do much vert skating, it still seems that the Vert comp is/was one the banner X Games events.
