Paul Whibley Race Report: Mountaineer Run GNCCSeptember 27, 2017Conditions were a little warmer than the NZ winter we have just come out of, but I’d rather it stinky hot than freezing cold any day! The down side to hot weather is dust; and we had plenty of that. Add in a huge helping of rocks and we’re set to go GNCC racing.

Racer X Insight: Ryan SipesSeptember 27, 2017Ryan Sipes switched from full-time motocross and supercross to off-road racing in the Amsoil Grand National Cross Country Championship for the 2014 season. Ever since he decided to make the move, he was considered a man with the speed to win a race, but a victory proved elusive—he’s put together a few strong runs, then a few tough ones, and eventually nearly four full seasons had passed without Sipes getting to the center of the podium.

Ryan Sipes Race Report: Mountaineer Run GNCCSeptember 26, 2017The Mountaineer GNCC is always a tough race. It's one of our rockiest venues, and it also seems to be dusty every year, so when you combine those two it gets tricky. Even so, while it isn't one of my favorites, I've rode well there in the past.

Marvin’s Mountain Top of West Virginia welcomed Team UXC and the racing nation family. The weather was hot and there wasn’t a sign of rain anywhere, which was thankful given the rocky nature of this track. Early track walks showed that the boulders and rocks were still big, the dust was going to be a factor and it was going to test rider and machine to the limit.
