I am kinda new at this whole thing, But our local rider from PA was in HOUSTON TEXAS last week racing. Darryn Durham #159 placed 8th in the main. I think its great that he is doing so well!! And I am very excited for him!!
Ryan Morias and Ben Evans – 58MXLive -
The westcoast lites class has been getting interesting and we caught up with two of the top 10 guys Ryan Morias and Ben Evans. Ben Evans has been opening some eyes sitting in 8th place as a privateer and coming from the state of Idaho. Ryan Morias talks to the guys about his PC ride and how he came to know God, very cool interview.
Stepping in for Shand is Five8 Motocross own Alan “Sandbagger” Johnson. He provided a very good thought provoking insite with our Moment of Truth segment. Shand did make a full recovery from his man-boob surgery but lost his phone so did not get the updated recording time change. So while we recorded, Shand was at Taco Casa replenishing much needed calories from his Rio Bravo experience.
And finally, give us your comments on the shows if they are clean we may read them on the show or better yet, call the hot line share your feelings, prayer requests, eviction notices, whatever you want 972-784-4000.

Welcome to the pilot of 5.8Kbs (we may rename it 
)- Our new day-to-day updates with various motocross riders and industry personell. With this being the first one and being done by a behind the scenes kind of guy so there was a lot of post production work and music added to make it almost worth listening. I called Blake Sunday night after the Houston round and his first AMA Supercross to find out his thoughts on what its like from going from a spectator to a racer. I also asked how he dealt with the pressure and how God helped him through the day.

Here we are boys!!! Only two days left and the only SX in Texas this year rolls in to town. What are your predictions?
I have a feeling Bubbles is going to have his hands full with Reed this weekend. The Reed freight train has been looking better and better every weekend, while Bubbles still seems to be struggling with the bike. My boy Windham won last year, he looked awesome last weekend, can he pull off another podium this weekend?
I am expecting big things from the Wharton Bros this weekend. First SX, basically their home town race, and they are fired up! And guess what homies….so am I!!!
We will be out there in Houston, so stop us if you see us sporting the Five 8 shirts.
Saturday=SX
Sunday=Rio Bravo
YIPEEEE!!
Thank you Lord for an awesome weekend! It’s all about YOU!
OK here is your chance to be a podcast host. Next Tuesday we are slated to have Ryan Morias and Ben Evans on 58MXLive. What would you want to know from either rider. The most unique question(s) will be asked and if you list your name we’ll be sure to mention who was asking the question. So are you up for it? Let’s see your questions by entering and submitting down below.

On the cusp of their pro supercross career debut, Texas’s own Wharton brothers are prepared to bring the smack down, literally! If Houston doesn’t go well we think the Comedy Club might be interested in these two. Also we throw The Wharton’s buddy Kyle under the bus and asked the big question….which brother will place higher….hear the unbiased answer!
On a low note please keep Shand Garcia in your prayers as he had some reconstructive surgery on his man-boobs. It has been a very touchy subject so lets keep it on the down low. If you see Shand give him a big hug and tell him your thinking of him as he’s really feeling down in the pits. The beginning of the show is an actual recording of Shand looking for some support and guidance in this very trying time.
If your down in Houston keep an eye on the orange meat ball too…some of the Five8 Guys will be heading down for the race and doing a little Rio Bravo action on Sunday. And finally, give us a comment on the show(s) if they are clean we may read them on the show or better yet, call the hot line like our buddy Shand and share your feelings or prayer requests. 972-784-4000. PEACE – OUT!

Well gents and gentettes, who’s it gonna be this week? Will Stewart get everything together again this weekend to pull off another win? Or will the composed Reed inch his way by for his first win of the season? Can JGrant keep up this elevated self-assurance and be on the box again, since he has shown that he has the skills to be up there!
Will Lawrence make the main, and possibly win, or will he take himself out of contention. Too bad Canard won’t be able to make it this week, we wish the best for ya buddy and our prayers are with you! It stinks that we haven’t even been able to see him in the hunt so far this year. Will there been any drama in the Alessi vs. Villipoto saga? Alessi wasn’t too far from basically calling him out this past week on DMXS. Will the newly Fox clad Dungey take it to the top of the podium again this week? Will we ever get him on the show??? And how ’bout the Pro Circuit two headed monster named Weimer von Morais!!! Certainly a force to be reckoned with!
I can’t wait to see who graces the tiers of the podium this week, as it is shaping up to be one heck of an interesting season. Now if only Windham and Short would find that extra 1/4″ of throttle cable and put some stress on the Stewart/Reed freight train that always seems to lead the pack. And where has Millsaps been??? I was really expecting more from him so far, we know he has it in him, will he decide to let it out this weekend? Anywho….I will shut up now and sit back to see what the SX warriors of ‘09 have in store for us A2!
later!
Well we’re another week older and wiser…well some of us. It seems the plot thickens as the once seeminly invincible Lawrence has finally had a kink in his Black armor. Who is to say if God is mad at him but he finally choked under pressure or at least it may appear that way. Personally I really don’t like the kid, maybe he sells tickets but I’m more of a fan of shut-up and ride. Let your riding do the talking and then when you don’t make the main then you won’t look like an a$$.
Maybe just maybe in this low point in his life Lawrence will get down on his knees and seek after God, I doubt it but God can do anything right?
I have come to wonder how CHURCH got involved with motocross. When I say this I mean how come at a Saturday Supercross race they have chapel service? I guess one could say because the riders will be traveling on Sunday, or perhaps it’s because it’s a dangerous sport. Either way I know I’m going to get crap from this post but here goes.
It would really be odd for me to have a church service in the lobby of my work. To have a few business men in suits and a pastor next to the coffee machine throwing down the Word would seem really odd. For some reason motocross ministries have followed the example of organized church and brought full gospel sermons to the professional motocross arena. It seems to me if you’re a Christian motocrosser you should be following the Lord the other 6 days of the week and make Saturday your WORK day and honor God with your work. This is what I’m told over and over again while I’m at church, work as if your working directly for the LORD.
So I find it strange to have a holy man in the supercross pits saying 15 minutes of God’s word. In my experience from talking to people it gives them a false sense of supernatural hope. Like a placebo, I can listen to the pastor speak, I have earned bonus points with God. Yeah I know its powerful and life changing, I’m not disputing that, what I am disputing is let these guys race. If your trying to reach converts then go talk after the races or on Sunday morning. Perhaps just walking around the pits and getting to know the individual and investing in their needs. For some reason I seem to remember Jesus doing that.
Now if the pit pastor is there because it is an inherently dangerous sport then we all better get on our knees on MONDAY – FRIDAY. With the preparation that all these athletes do I wouldn’t think it’s more dangerous than the average Joe’s morning commute to work. More people have been killed or maimed on their way to work than all motocross activities combined.
So I don’t know, call me the eternal optimist that people will own their faith and not rely on the HOLY MAN. Sure it’s good to get fed and led by a pastor but with today’s technology is any less spiritual to listen to your pastor on iTUNES on the airplane? We seem pretty well occupied by movies and sitcoms with that time.
2 tim3:16-17 Says: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
I totally agree with the above verse the problem I have is why in the motocross industry do keep preaching 15 minute before someone has to go to hit a 90 ft set of triples for work?
Hey pit pastors can I come over and talk moto while your preparing your sermons?
Flame on!
