Best in the Desert’s 2010 Vegas to Reno race marked the one-year point in my motorcycle racing career. Over the last year I have raced about 10 races between District 37 and BITD, and I came into this year’s race with a much different game plan, and a different bike. Instead of the KTM 525 I raced last year I opted for my KTM 950 Super Enduro. What I could remember of last year was a lot of wide-open stretches that my 525 struggled on. Another change of game plan would be to try and pace myself. Last year about 150 miles into day one I wrecked pretty bad.

“This movie features my 8 year old son Alex Halank freestyling and flowstyling in beautiful Bonaire (including competing in the Starboard Prokids IFCA Freestyle World Championships where he won first place in the under 11 division).

This is THE place for kids to learn and love to windsurf”
When the Nokia Push project began back in September 2009, we helped re-imagine skating, kite aerial photography, city guides and more. But even we could not have imagined this.
In 2011, Nokia Push will be collaborating with the world’s biggest snowboarding company, Burton Snowboards, to create a new type of connected snowboarding. Work has already started between Nokia and Burton, and the collaboration will be run in the spirit of the Push project — transparently, and openly in beta. Throughout this time, regular videos will be published here detailing our progress so far, and counting down to our beta launch at next year’s Burton Euro Open in January
The 2011 Daytona 200 Motorcycle Week will have a radical new look from season’s past as Daytona International Speedway splits its two biggest races into back-to-back weekend events.

Now those two major motorcycle events will be held on different weekends during the traditional Bike Week time frame.
The first weekend of activity will focus solely on  … Details
