Riding at Factory Phils SX Compound

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Spent the last 3 days up at Factory Phils in Cottonwood, Ca. spinning some serious laps. Me, Tiger Lacey, Topher Ingalls, Robert Noftz, Brian Alquist, Jake locks, and Bryar Perry put in some good riding and I honestly am starting to feel like I did a year ago before I got hurt. My bike is awesome and I think we have found the perfect settings for next year’s AX season. My conditioning is probably the best it has been my entire career. I have been shredding up the gym the past few months and even sort of kind of dieting. haha. But seriously I feel great and I am excited for next year.

I will be heading over to Germany in a couple weeks to do the German SX series for EBS Kawasaki. I was supposed to ride for them last year but I got hurt the week before the first race and had to miss out. The team was cool enough to give me another shot this year and I am stoked to be with them. Tiger Lacey will be my teammate over there and we have already been training and riding together. We are gonna do some damage for sure.

Keep posted for big announcements regarding our AX team and the release date on our new CD. The Main Event is going to take over the world very soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AX 2011 Update

Monday, October 18th, 2010

So far preparation has been going great. We rebuilt our Supercross track into a full blown to spec Arenacross track. I have been busting 30 lap motos for the past couple weeks and surprisingly feel in really good shape already. Vincent has been going to the gym like a mad man for the past 3 weeks waiting for his bike to come in. Well the bikes came in today so we will be able to really step up our training program. We plan on racing each other a lot to help get ready for the intensity that Arenacross brings. We will be ready!

Special thanks to Motosport Hillsboro on the bike support this year. Stay tuned for some big announcements in the next week or so regarding sponsors.

Saturday, October 16th, 2010

The Blair Brothers – Vincent & Daniel – have joined forces to contest the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series.

In addition to their notoriety and successes within the world of Motocross, the Blair’s band, “The Main Event”, will also be releasing there second EP in January of 2011. Daniel (vocals) and Vincent (guitar) formed the band in 2004 and have developed a strong fan following. Their musical talents have seen them perform at Warped Tour, as well as numerous International tours.

Daniel Blair’s (#25) race resume is as impressive as any in the AMA Arenacross Series. Daniel finished 9th in overall points for the 2009 East Coast Supercross Lites class and has numerous top-10 finishes in X Games. Daniel, 28, has qualified for countless AMA Supercross Lites and AMA Supercross main events in his career.

As an amateur, Daniel won three AMA National titles and he’s the first rider in AMA Pro Racing history to qualify for both a 125cc and 250cc Supercross main event in the same night aboard a four-stroke motorcycle.

Joining Daniel Blair will be his longtime riding companion and younger brother, Vincent #27. With podium finishes and consistent top 5 finishes, Vincent, 23, will look to be an instant threat on the AMA Arenacross Series tour. Having qualified for a number of Supercross main events, Vincent also won three amateur AMA National titles.

Aboard Honda CRF 450’s, the Blair Brother’s will be supported by top brands that include Bully Dog Technologies, One Industries, 661, Renthal, Dunlop, EVOMX.com, MotoreX, Works Connection, Scott Goggles, EVS, AiRide Suspension, No Toil, DVS and many more to come.
