The ELEMENTS have begun
January 11 2009
we have begun filming for our next video series, The Elements.
Our first stop on this year’s filming of “The Elements” was Ocotillo Wells, where my brother and I met up with friend and world famous freerider Ronnie Renner. Everyone feels that Ocotillo Wells is “played-out” or “overshot”. I will have to disagree on that one. There is so much stuff out there that still has not been ridden or filmed. On top of making new jumps just for our movie, that no one has ever shot or filmed before, It had rained only two days before we got there, making riding and filming epic, and a great way to start off the year! Maybe we will see you out there next time!

We are going to be working very hard this year to bring you all the very best freeriding video possible. I will keep you all updated on “The Elements” to let you know how things are coming and will bring some more photos and footage together to give you all a taste of what this project will be like in the near future.

The government to shut down more than 1 million acres of riding areas!!! This is REAL! Take some action!
More than 160 public lands bills from all over the USA have been grouped together by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The package would create more than 1 million acres of designated Wilderness land, which would shut out all motorized vehicles. The last-minute congressional maneuver would also make the National Landscape Conservation System permanent. This system creates an additional level of bureaucracy for the National System of Public Lands and would remove much of the authority of the existing agency in managing those lands. “Congress should put together a new package and pass it through committee rather than debate legislation carried over from the previous Congress,” Rep. Bishop said. “Poor process produces poor product, and this is an example of congressional process at its worst. Parts of this bill are good, and parts are very bad. Each part deserves to be discussed and voted on its own merits.”
The sign above wont say “private property” It will say, “Wilderness Preserve, no people, stay in your house and watch our mind numbing T.V.”
All AMA members and anyone else who enjoys outdoor recreation are urged to contact their U.S. senators and ask them to OPPOSE the OMNIBUS PUBLIC LANDS BILL! An easy way to contact your senators is in the “Issues & Legislation” area of the Rights section of the AMA website at http://www.AmericanMotorcyclist.com.

Witness history in the making as Red Bull rider, Ronnie Renner goes upside down 60ft above the ground on the first ever full metal 1/4 pipe on the Santa Monica pier. Go to Northern California to ride hill climbs, trails, dirt jumps with Nick Dunne, Andy Morgan and Scott Hayward. Practice Supercross with Andy Bakken Twitch, and Adam Chatfield. Camp out 8000ft up at the legendary Mammoth Motocross race. This moto propaganda video made by riders for riders will keep you entranced till the very end!
Well that is what it says on the box at least, but seriously, we put a lot of work into this video and you will like it! After all, we are riders, and we know what we like to watch in a moto vid, and we will only progress as time goes on. So go to http://www.videoxsports.com or your local motorcycle shop and buy it!
