RiderDown is pleased to announce that once again you will have a chance to help your fellow riders when they need it most and also have a chance to get something back in return. Stop by the RDF booth and get your raffle tickets, place your bids, row a few meters or simply make a donation to the cause. Several years ago RacerX and RiderDown teamed up to bring you the Passion Tour and Loretta’s is one of the premiere stops on the schedule.
This year we’ll be raffling off a custom Loretta Lynn’s ’09 edition helmet, designed and painted by HotHedzDesigns, a pair of Asterisk children’s Germ knee braces, a Leatt Sport neck brace, an RXR chest protector and more! All proceeds from the raffle will go directly to the RiderDown Foundation in support of its efforts to assist injured riders and their families. Raffle tickets are only $2 and will be available throughout the week. The drawing will be held Thursday. Stop by the RDF booth for more details!
Want to get in better shape? Check this out – Concept2 Indoor Rowers has donated a brand new Model D rower to RiderDown and we will be holding a silent auction for this machine to raise money for our injured riders in need. Bids will be taken at the RDF booth or you can bid via email to info@riderdown.org (make sure to mention the rower in the subject line). Here’s a link for more info on the rower itself: Concept2 Model D Rower. It is the same rower used by Milsaps Training Facility, KTM Muscle Milk, MotoSport Kawi, Kurt Caselli, Heath Voss, Destry Abbott, Travis Pastrana, RacerX staff and more!
And if you’re feeling it, for the 3rd year in a row the guys at Concept2 and RacerX Virtual Trainer will be giving away rowers to the winners of the 500M challenge! There will be a men’s and a women’s division and the competition will be tough! Last year the head to head row off in the ladies class was tight!
Also, keep an eye out for our friend David Bulmer,that crazy media guy from across the pond. He’s been travelling to all of the Outdoor Nationals with some of the crew from VurbMoto and running a lap at each track to raise money for charity. RiderDown Foundation and Wings for Life are fortunate to have his generous support! Give him a cheer!
"We're pleased to be able to help support the RiderDown Foundation at the Loretta Lynn Amateur Nationals," said Event Director Tim Cotter. "RiderDown's diligent work has helped many racers and their families recover from injuries and the associated medical costs.”
“We are extremely thankful for all the support that the great folks at MX Sports provides to RDF and the injured riders we help,” says Bruce Vermeulen, President of the RiderDown Foundation. “We are extremely grateful for everyone’s generosity and willingness to help. We’ll be at Loretta’s all week, so if you are in Tennessee stop by and find out how you can get involved!”

Darryl Atkins at X Games 15
July 30, 2009 – Farmingdale, NJ – Bel-Ray is
proud to announce that 7-time New Zealand MX and SX
Champion, Darryl Atkins, will be competing at X Games
on a Bel-Ray sponsored Honda CRF 450, Saturday,
August 1, 2009, live on ABC from 3–6 pm EST.
Atkins will be one of 20 riders invited to race for gold at
X Games 15 as he goes head-to-head with some of the
best SuperMoto riders in the world like James Stewart,
Jeff Ward, Brandon Currie and Micky Dymond. He has
been absent from the SuperMoto scene for the last six
months as he announced his retirement at the beginning
of the 2009 season. At X Games 15, Atkins returns to show the world he still has the speed and determination
to stand atop the podium with the help of Bel-Ray lubricants. His pit area will provide the opportunity for fans
to get a signed autographed poster from Darryl himself and talk about the Bel-Ray products he is using.
“I’m excited to have Bel-Ray as my title sponsor for X Games,” says Atkins. “This is giving me a great
opportunity to build a one-of-a-kind X Games specific bike. After dominating the AMA SuperMoto Unlimited
Series, and winning my last National, I feel very confident going into X Games 15. I’m right where I want to be
jumping back into pro racing where I left off, and look forward to the festivities!”
Bel-Ray’s Channel Marketing Manager, Carter Olcott, adds, “When Darryl approached us to title sponsor his
X Games SuperMoto efforts, we jumped at the chance to back him 100%. Darryl is a professional on and off
the track and the ideal representative for our brand and he still has the speed to bring home gold in front of
the millions that will be watching on ABC.”
Originally from New Zealand, Atkins is no stranger to the world of competition. After a 1994 car accident
that left him with detached nerves in his neck, Atkins surprised his doctors by returning to racing capturing
multiple national MX, SX and SuperMoto Championships in New Zealand and the United States. More
recently, he raced for the Factory Aprilia SuperMoto Team through 2008 and had several race wins under
them.
Bel-Ray has been a part of the motorcycle industry for more than 30 years. Bel-Ray is one of the world’s
most recognized high performance lubricant brands thanks to outstanding products like the unique Bel-Ray
Thumper 4-Stroke Racing Motor Oil, Bel-Ray Super Clean Chain Lube, and the exceptional Bel-Ray Foam

Pirelli's Tarah Gieger Returns to Action to Defend X Games Gold Medal
Rome, Ga. - One year ago, Tarah Gieger made women's motocross history by becoming the inaugural gold medalist in the Women's Moto X competition at the ESPN X Games. Injured since May with a broken wrist suffered at the FIM World Motocross Championship, Gieger will make her 2009 U.S. motocross debut on Saturday inside The Home Depot Center defending her gold medal aboard Pirelli Scorpion MX tires.
Pitted against some of the world's toughest riders last year in five-time WMA champion Jessica Patterson and perennial front-runner Sherri Cruse, Gieger outlasted the competition and kept the bike on two wheels to take the biggest win of her young career.
The Puerto Rican native will showcase Scorpion MX hard 90/100-21 front tires and Scorpion MX Hard 120/80-19 rear tires made especially for four stroke machines. The top-quality structure and unmatched durability give Gieger an advantage on the hard-packed, slick surface she and her competitors will face Saturday afternoon.

STARS COME OUT TO CHEER AND JEER TRAVIS PASTRANA AT RED BULL TOASTED Action Sports Icon Celebrated in Hollywood on Eve of X Games

HOLLYWOOD, CA (July 28, 2009) – Travis Pastrana is one of the most successful and most beloved figures in action sports, but tonight it was time to put Travis on the hot seat. A full house of fans, athletes and celebrities gathered at the Avalon Hollywood to pay tribute (and to poke a little fun), at all that Pastrana has contributed to the world of action sports at Red Bull Toasted. The event was a surprise to Pastrana until he arrived at the venue in a restored English double-decker bus, but the presenters were more than ready to give Travis a ribbing (with love, of course).
Travis took his licks in good spirits, saying “It was epic to have so many of my friends and family come out tonight. When Red Bull does something, they do it huge. It was a roast and it was funny, but there was a lot of respect. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Going into X Games, all I’ve been thinking about over and over is Best Trick, the Rodeo 720, if you will, and tonight distracted me in a really good way.”
Red Bull Toasted featured special appearances by several iconic friends and family members of Pastrana. Video montages showcased his life and career – his highlights and even his goofier moments. Roasting and toasting Travis included: Arj Barker (Flight of the Conchords), Tony Hawk (skateboard legend), Sal Masakela (Host of E! Daily 10), Brian Vickers (Red Bull Racing NASCAR driver), Greg Giraldo (comedian and Comedy Central roaster), Dan Levy (comedian), Ryan Sheckler (skateboarder and star MTV’s Life of Ryan), the cast members from MTV's Nitro Circus, including Andy Bell, Jeremy Rawle, Gregg Godfrey and Jolene Van Vugt, Kelley James (singer), Debbie Pastrana (Travis’ mother), Robert Pastrana, (Travis’ father) and Carey Hart (motocross star).
Spotted at the event were Audrina Patridge and Brody Jenner from MTV’s The Hills, Verne Troyer, Ryan Cabrera and Steve-O.
Fellow athletes in attendance included Robbie Maddison, Ronnie Renner, Mat Rebeaud, Ashley Fiolek, Tarah Gieger, Levi Sherwood, Lance Coury, Ian Walsh, Sandro Dias, Daniel Dhers, Kevin Robinson, Parks Bonifey, Corey Bohan and Corey Martinez, in addition to Vickers and Sheckler.
Highlights of the night included a fierce thrashing of every celebrity in the room by comedians Dan Levy and Greg Giraldo, most of which cannot be repeated without a “bleep.” Kid Rock (via video) recounted a New Year’s Eve party which ended with Travis BASE jumping from his suite in the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, a bewigged Troyer made a surprise appearance on-stage and almost every roaster made a point to describe Travis’ amazing motocross ability…and complete lack of skills with women.
The guests in attendance were also the first to hear “what’s next” in Travis’ career. He was passed the torch – or in this case, the steering wheel – and will be the star of the 2009 Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. New Year’s Eve event, live on ESPN. Look for more details on how Travis will take over New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles in the coming months.

MX Sports is pleased to announce that AMSOIL, the presenting sponsor of the 2009 Air Nautique AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship is again offering free generator oil changes to all riders and teams that qualify for the National.
"The top amateur riders have prepared themselves extensively for the rigors they will find on the track at Loretta's," said Jeremy Meyer AMSOIL Race Program Manager. "But in all of that preparation, something as simple as changing the oil in their RV generator might have been pushed aside. The oil in most RV's at Loretta's has been pushed well beyond its intended use, so AMSOIL is providing a helping hand during a time when a team's focus should be on winning."
If you are interested in having your generator serviced during your stay at Loretta Lynn's, you may pre-register by going to www.amsoil.com/generatorcontact.aspx.
The cost of the program is free, and the Amsoil crew does the work for you. They just need to know the brand name and model number, along with the oil filter number to ensure the proper products are being used in your generator.
If you don't wish to pre-register, a registration table will be in available at the AMSOIL Arena when you pick up your rider packets, or you can stop by the AMSOIL Trailer at anytime during the week.

Stewart confirms Best Whip, Super X and Supermoto
Stewart confirms Best Whip, Super X and Supermoto
July 28 - Los Angeles, CA - Defending Supercross Champion James Stewart confirms that he will be competing in X Games 15 in Best Whip, Super X and Supermoto racing. “I’m pumped to have a chance to attend and compete,” says Stewart. “I have always wanted to do the X Games, but this is the first time that it has actually worked out contract and schedule wise.”
In fact just hours before showtime, Stewart and his team are hard at work in California dialing in his hybrid roadracer/dirtbike Yamaha YZ450F Supermoto race machine. “Obviously I’m at home on a supercross track but I’ve never raced Supermoto before so this is all new to me. I can’t wait though; it’ll be a blast!” As for Best Whip, “That’s in the bag,” he laughs.
“Honestly, I’m pleased that James is finally making his debut at X Games,” offered former AMA Supercross and Motocross champion Ricky Carmichael, an X Games Step UP Gold medalist in his own right and the winningest rider in motocross and supercross history. “X Games fans deserve to see the best of the best so it’s a natural that guys like Stewart, Josh Grant and Kevin Windham would be there. They benefit from tremendous exposure and being able to position themselves with the other elite athletes that X Games attracts.” Today the former motorcycle champion is pursuing a NASCAR career behind the wheel of the #4 KHI All-Stars Monster Energy Chevrolet Silverado.
Team Manager Larry Brooks says James will be racing the same Yamaha YZ450F that took him to this year’s Supercross season title. “But we haven’t decided yet if he will do the Best Whip on the 4-stroke or compete aboard a YZ250 2-stroke.”
The L&M San Manuel Band of Mission Indians-sponsored team is approaching X Games 15 with the same single-minded determination they used to capture the 2009 AMA Supercross championship. “Although James has never raced a Supermoto event before now, he was incredibly fast in our first test and he plans to be a major factor at the X Games,” says Brooks.
Keith McCarty, Yamaha Racing Division Manager, had this to say about his team: “We are very excited for people to see James Stewart competing in multiple classes at X Games. Its a great way for more of them to witness his talents. We also have Brandon Curry racing Supermoto and Nate Adams has added his name to the competition.” Josh Hill currently is injured.
“This is important to the entire team and James even had the X Games built specifically into his contract for this year. Let’s face it, in terms of media value alone for team sponsors like San Manuel, the X Games reaches even more fans than the Supercross and Motocross seasons together,” concludes Brooks. “A chance for James to show his amazing talents on live television before the world is invaluable. Our entire organization is really looking forward to it.”
The fun begins this Thursday as fans can see Stewart in the Best Whip competition starting at 5:15 at the Staples Center and in the Supermoto Final Saturday, August 1 starting at 1:30 at the Home Depot Center.
