THE WEEKLY FEED: KURT CASELLI- BACK IN THE DAY
A HISTORY LESSON: KURT CASELLI CIRCA 2002
Back in 2002 Kurt Caselli was the son of a full blown desert rat- his dad Rich. Rich raced both desert events and enduros for years, and took his son with him to nearly every outing. Locals can remember Kurt burning laps on a KX65 and this turned him into a dirt biker who had a passion for…moto! Back in 2002 Kurt was just coming into his own as a racer and spent his race time in the WORCS series and the Big Six events that were track inspired. As the tale unfolds we all know that Kurt morphed into one of the ISDE stars of the decade and eventually took on the National Hare and Hound series along with embracing Dakar and Baja long distance racing.

2018 Trials Recap
By Shan Moore/Photos by Shan Moore
Sherco USA’s Pat Smage claimed his ninth national MotoTrials title, coming out on top of a series-long battle with Spaniard Marc Freixa. Freixa dominated last year’s series to win the 2017 title, but Smage put his nose to the grindstone this past winter and came out swinging when the series opened up in Texas. In all, Smage won five of the eight rounds and beat Freixa, who was at one time ranked third in the world, by 14 points in the final standings. Sherco USA’s Andrew Putt was third in the final standings, while Gas Gas USA team mates Bryan Roper and Alex Niederer rounded out the top five.
