For Cross Country, Get the Maxxis ADvantage
You can always count on Maxxis for the best in cross country tires. And with the ADvantage, Maxxis exceeds expectations yet again.

New for 2005, the ADvantage is a high-volume, aggressive tire that offers great cornering on big side-knobs. It climbs and brakes with authority because of the opposing parallelogram center tread design. And the ramped center knobs lower rolling resistance, while the wide lug spacing sheds mud easily.

Aaron Chase Soars on Holy Rollers
A week in sunny Puerto Rico, combined with dirt jumping and street riding on Maxxis’ new Holy Rollers: for Aaron Chase, it doesn’t get much better than this.

In late March, Chase spent a week on the Caribbean island, with two days devoted to dirt jumping at the Medallia Light Ultimate Dirt Challenge. With a festival-like atmosphere, the event features a cross country race, music, and performances by Chase and other mountain bikers.

For Rock Crawling and Extreme Terrain, Trust the Creepy Crawler
If you’re looking for a rock crawling beast with claw-like traction on uneven terrain, check out the M-8090 Creepy Crawler.

The best rock crawlers ride Creepy Crawlers throughout the season, because they know that this tire offers serious traction even on the worst terrain. Thick mud and deep snow is no problem because of the Creepy Crawler’s large shoulder lugs. And this tough tire gives you all the durability you need: the Creepy Crawler features a rugged, square-profile sidewall, an aggressive tread pattern, and heavy duty bias construction.

Maxxis Pitches in to Help Dream House for Medically Fragile Children
Sharing time and resources to benefit our community is a top priority at Maxxis. That’s why, for the second year in a row, Maxxis sponsored the Dream House Family Fun Ride to benefit the Dream House for Medically Fragile Children. Located in Gwinnett County, home of Maxxis’ U.S. headquarters, the organization provides therapeutic, family-centered settings for abused and neglected children whose medical conditions prevent their placement with foster families.

Held April 24 at Aonia Pass Motocross Park in Washington, Georgia, the event raised over $35,000 for the Dream House. More than 200 riders enjoyed the park’s trails from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Telling It Like It Is: Lance Smail
There are many things that a racer does in preparing for and competing in an upcoming race. Whether it be a local race or a national, one can never be too prepared for the battle he is getting ready to embark on. Proper prep can lead to a successful race on the track. Yet sometimes all the work you do can't overcome bad decisions, weather, other riders, mechanicals or just luck. But all of this gets right down to the basics...having fun on dirt bikes. This article will give you my perspective on preparing and competing in a national WORCS race at the top level.

Shane Watts: A Champion All the Way
With a new baby on the way and a recently acquired real estate license, you’d think that Shane Watts has enough on his plate – but for Watts, motorcycle racing is still a top priority.

Watts, originally from Australia, had taken two months off at the end of 2004, spending his time visiting his native country and reevaluating his goals. He had considered retirement, but ultimately decided to return to racing in 2005.
