This year’s FMF Camp Coker Bullet GNCC, held at Moree’s Sportsman’s Preserve, ended up being the largest event GNCC has held on the property in the past six years that is has been on the schedule.

Tuesday Toolbox: Ronnie RuschMarch 30, 2021This week’s featured rider, Ronnie Rusch, is about as perfect an example of motivation as you can get. He was already paving the way for a successful career in the world of GNCC, but the loss of a dear friend helped push him to the next level.

The General Youth Race ReportMarch 25, 2021Round three of the 2021 Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series presented by Specialized, an AMA National Championship, took place on March 13th and 14thth in Washington, Georgia. The Specialized General GNCC held at Aonia Pass MX turned out to be, as the kids are saying, a gnarly one! A very technical track with an old school GNCC vibe made for some exciting racing action.

Wild Boar Youth Race ReportMarch 25, 2021Round two of the 2021 Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series presented by Specialized, an AMA National Championship, took place on March 6th and 7th in Palatka, Florida. The Moose Racing Wild Boar GNCC held at the Hog Waller’s Mud BOG & ATV is arguable one of the toughest tracks of the season.

Tuesday Toolbox: Steward Baylor Jr.March 23, 2021The picture-perfect script: The sun is shining; birds are chirping, the sky is a perfect Yamaha ‘blu’ and Stu Baylor has won all three rounds to start the 2021 season and easily sits atop the points chase. Life is good for Stu Baylor…

The Specialized General GNCC held at Aonia Pass MX turned out to be, in some opinions, even tougher than round two in Palatka, Florida.

Tuesday Toolbox: Jessica ElioffMarch 16, 2021Morgan Freeman once said, “Challenge yourself; it’s the only path which leads to growth.” Couple takeaways, one is personal for me. As a guy who makes a living with their voice, Morgan Freeman is, as the kids are saying, #VoiceGoals. Alright, I don’t really know if the kids are saying that, but I am. Anyway, more important is the second takeaway from what Morgan said.

Tuesday Toolbox: TJ FineFebruary 16, 2021One of my favorite movie franchises is Rocky. Except for Rocky V, obviously. Any true fan knows you just pretend that one didn’t happen. Anyway, in Rocky Balboa, the 6th installment (or 5th, because remember, we’re not counting Rocky V), Rocky has a very deep heart-to-heart conversation with his son. If you want the entire back-story, watch the film. You can’t deny how motivational Rocky’s words are to his son...

Tuesday Toolbox: Dominick StevensFebruary 9, 2021Glass half full? Glass half empty? 2020 wasn’t easy on the large majority of folks. Lives were turned upside down and whether you were a student in school or an adult in the work place your schedule and daily routine were likely affected. How each of us approached our “new normal” (Side-Note, who’s ready for “old normal”) depended heavily on self-motivation. This week’s Tuesday Toolbox features one of those young men who decided to look at things from the “glass half full” perspective. Everything from balancing school, competing and finishing the season 2nd in the College B (16-21) ATV Class, starting his own business at 17 and wrapping up the season with a jump into the College A (16-21) ATV Class. Here’s a glimpse into the life of a former GNCC Schoolboy Jr. Champion and business owner at 17, Dominick Stevens.

Tuesday Toolbox: Ben FricksFebruary 2, 2021This week’s featured rider, Ben Fricks, is one of those people. He’s “one of our own” as the phrase goes. A student, a worker and a rider. A rider that finished 8th in the 250 C College (18-24) class last season that also happens to be a recipient of the Kurt Caselli Scholarship courtesy of The Kurt Caselli Foundation. We had a chance to catch up with Ben about how he balances an education, work-life and still manages to run a full season of GNCC.

Tuesday Toolbox: Mark NotmanJanuary 26, 2021Johnny Gallagher, Drew Landers, Cole Richardson and the obvious one, Walker Fowler. Just a few of the big names this week’s featured interviewee has worked with as a mechanic over the years. Obviously, we’re talking about Mark Notman. Many who attend the GNCC’s regularly are well aware of who Mark is and what he means to Walker Fowler’s success. We had a chance to catch up with Mark and learn a little bit more about him, his success as a rider and his journey as Walker Fowler’s right-hand man in all six of their GNCC Championships. Oh yeah, he also had a very big life-event just a few weeks ago!
