Well, Pala is in the books and so is another Motocross season. I got to give it up to the boys in green, RV2 and Deano killed it this year! I will be honest, being Canadian and not ever really having anything to cheer about has kind of turned me off to the MX Des Nations. Sure the Monster Energy Cup will be cool but it is only 1 event and unless Lil’ Hanny can run the table...I won’t even watch it! Which means I only get to look forward to this beautiful thing we call...“Silly Season”.

First things first, congrats to Mike Mason for winning the weekend’s Speed and Style event on the Dew Tour. Second off I would like to pat Brian “Bubbs” Foster and myself on the back! I got to give Bubbs a pat on the back for the strong return to competition and myself another pat for guessing he would get a 4th at last weekend Dew Tour stop.

Now...”Silly Season”! Because I don’t make any agents, teams, or media mad...I would like to make one thing clear. Some of the things I am about to type are true, false, speculation, confirmed, denied, guessed, or lies.
