Fall Fuel Fest Adrenaline for Gear Heads

October 24, 2013October 23, 2013 by Pit Traffic Staff

TPQ says GET SOME of This!!

I was the MC at this event last year and it was awesome. Not only because I was there but the 10,000 spectators made it pretty cool as well. There is everything to see here at this event and it is only one day. November 2 in just two weeks. SXS racing, Motorcycle Racign, Tuff Truck, Nitro Circus freestyle riders will be there. To top it off Ryan Piplic is going for a new World Record long jump in his new Polaris 1000 (around 150′). There are great payouts for the top SXS and Motorcycle racers. It pays $2500 to win each for a 45 minute race. That is huge. Get all the details at www.fallfuelfest.com or www.Facebook.com/fallfuelfest

Butter: All Moto Flavored

September 16, 2013September 10, 2013 by Pit Traffic Staff

We know most of you have already seen this. It’s been awhile since we’ve been truly excited about watching a quad video (or a bike video) and this combines the best of both worlds. The Guetter brothers (of film, photo, and freestyle fame) along with Luke Parmeter have been working at putting together a film of epic proportions. If the teaser vid doesn’t make you crave some butter of your own, you have no soul and should give away your dirt bike or quad. Seriously, check the teaser, watch for the release in October, and follow Moto Butter on IG, Facebook, or Twitter to stay up to date (and get some cool behind the scenes pics).

In Soviet Russia…

July 11, 2013July 10, 2013 by Pit Traffic Staff

Actually, I don’t think there’s a joke for this. They just get crazy for Colten Moore and a few other nutters going crazy on some motorized vehicles while bands play and girls dance. Precision Racing Products brought this video to our attention last week (they sponsor Colten) and we’d thought we’d share. Pretty Rad stuff. Also, if there is a joke for this, please share in the comments…we’d love to here it. Pit Traffic StaffThe Pit Traffic staff is made up of volunteers throughout the ATV community.

Why YOUR support matters.

July 2, 2013June 26, 2013 by Megan

Take a quick 30 seconds and name the top 5 sponsors of the series you run. Actually, just name any 5. Could you do it without cheating? Ok. Now of all the series sponsors , from which have you purchased a product? Any? Here’s where there is a problem. Riders are not supporting the companies supporting their series. And yes, I’m looking at you ATV racers.

See all those sponsors supporting your racing? When was the last time you ordered from one of them or thanked them for keeping your series going?

“Well I pay gate and race fees,” is ringing out right now in some of your heads, justifying your position. “Racing is expensive enough already,” and of course it is. But, for example, when a goggle company sponsors your series and you aren’t under contract with another company, why wouldn’t you buy their goggles? “I don’t like the fit,” “they are too expensive,” “I don’t need new goggles right now.” Those are all legitimate reasons, but are you going to say that for EVERY SERIES SPONSOR? And the fact they are expensive is irrelevant. Save $5 on a competing company that isn’t supporting your chosen race series, and what incentive does any company have to support what you want to do?

February 18, 2013February 5, 2013 by Megan

sethtires — Seth is a key component to GPS Offroad Products “I’m completely content with my role as a marketer, journalist, sales guy, tire changer or whatever else you could call me.”
