Although Bilko took a digger at the first round of the Dew Tour, you will still be able to see at least one Universal Rider throwing the Ruler Flip at this years Summer X-Games. Todd Potter demonstrates how this high risk trick should be performed. Tune into to ESPN2 at 9:00 -11:00 EST on Thursday August 2nd to watch the Best Trick Contest.

Gregg Duffy, Jr. will be competing in the 2007 Loretta Lynn’s Amateur National Championships. Thanks to the guys at Empire Graphics he will be going in their with the full factory kit. As long as Gregg can fit his swelled up head inside the helmet before the race, he should finish top 5 in the ultra competitive A-Class. Good Luck Gregg and have a beer for us Gregg, Sr!

Kyle Loza will be making his debut in the X-games in Carson, CA with his new trick, the Loza Volt. The trick is very similar to the X-Games winning Carolla that Chuck Carothers pulled a few years back. If Kyle can pull this one, he is almost guaranteed a medal.

Blake “Bilko” Williams took a digger at the Dew Tour this past weekend after busting out his new Ruler Backflip trick. He did however put in a good enough run to finish second behind FMX great Nate Adams. Many agree that Bilko would have won without the mishap. We all wish him a speedy recovery and that everything goes well. Check out this video clip of his new trick.

That’s right, long time Universal Amateur rider Kyle Engle laid the wood down at Mammoth. Kyle put on a show as he set a blistering pace for fellow fast 85 riders Eli Tomac and James Justice to follow. Lucky for the other two amateurs that Kyle’s bike took a dive on him in moto 2 or he would have had to put the spankin’ on them for a second time. Good work Ding Ding!

A few weeks ago, the guys from SNAFU invited us out to watch the premiere of Etnies’s new BMX video “Grounded.” The whole crew was hoopin’ it up while they got served up free drinks by Etnies staffers and watched SNAFU team riders such as Morgan Wade throw some super dope turn bar pocket airs over some wild SH%T.

UMX Suzuki rider Jarno Verhorevoort had a decent race in Heerde this past weekend. Jarno qualified in 4th in time practice and felt good on his Pol Suzuki. In the first moto Jarno left the first turn in third. He moved up to second but in the second half of the race he dropped back to 4th. Then he charged hard to grab 3rd place at the end of the race. In heat two Jarno had a crash with another

The Detroit SX performance of Mike & Jeff Alessi concluded the East coast SX lites season. The hint of greatness came when Mike Alessi holeshot heat race #1 and dissapeared. Simple as that! Mike won the heat with a nearly 10 second lead over the likes of Dungey, Hahn, and Laninovich, by turning the fastest Lites time of the entire program (practice, heat races, main event) which was a speedy

UMX rider Erwin Robins raced an IMBA race last weekend over in Belgium. These events have three motos. Erwin placed 13th in heat one after a little crash that dropped him back from 6th. In Moto 2 he had a bad start (23rd) but came back to 11th. In the last heat Erwin almost got the holeshot. He banged bars with the other rider and dropped back to almost 10th place. Robins fought back to 6th in

After the change from Honda to Suzuki Jarno Verhorevoort has been looking for the right settings of his RMZ-450. With track conditions changing it's an ongoing battle. Last weekend was the hottest April day in Dutch history. It suited Jarno well has he piloted his yellow ride to a third place in heat one and came back from behind to finish 4th in moto two at the race in Isidorushoeve. These

With the MX1 Outdoor MON nationals and IMBA races being the main priority, Erwin Robins races any race he can. The MX3 race in Zeeland was a race that counted for the National Championships and the Yamaha rider decided to enter that one. Because he had not raced any previous MX3 championship races this season he didn't have the best gate pick out there but Erwin managed to ride through the pack

While the weather is getting better the racing is more fun. Jarno Verhorevoort grabs every opportunity to hit the track whether there's a race in Belgium or The Netherlands. The race in Wuustwezel, Belgium didn't go as planned. Crashes in the first two heats meant end of race and a DNF for Jarno. In the third heat of the international MX race Jarno finished 25th.At the National race in Mill on 7

The last two weekends have been the most intense Night of the Jumps weekends ever. On the first weekend of April it was time for the event in my hometown Berlin.

At the MON race in Berghem Erwin Robins got Universal MX on the podium. After pulling start position ticket number 38 (second row) Erwin had to make it through the complete field to finish third in moto one. The start in heat two was a lot better as he left the first turn in 5th position. He moved his way up to the front of the race and just when he saw the leaders of the race Erwin crashed and

It was a tough day for Jarno Verhorevoort at the MON race in Berghem. The start in the first heat was okay when Jarno left the first turn in 6th. He moved up to 3rd place where he had to battle with Anton van de Wetering. This resulted in some pumped up arms so he had to let go to finish 6th.The start of moto 2 wasn't very good and Jarno started the race around 20th position. He moved up to 3rd

Both Erwin Robins and Jarno Verhorevoort qualified for the main event at the first round of the Open Dutch championships which looked more like the first Grand Prix of the season with all the factory riders present. On the rough sandy track it was hard for both riders to come back from mediocre starts so we don't have podium finishes to brag about this week. The coffee was good though.

Is Mike Alessi getting faster in Supercross? The answer is a definite YES! Last week Mike was fast at Daytona, this week in Orlando he was nearly the fastest! This week Mike didn't win but he was racing to win! Mike started outside the top five and worked his way to second, and went for it on the final lap, catching the leader Brandon Jesseman the 2003 AMA 125 sx champion. However

This weekend was bike week in warm sunny Daytona beach Fla. , which was quite a contrast from last weekend in St. Louis. This year's Daytona supercross saw Mike Alessi on the podium, ( the first KTM rider to get on the podium this supercross season) with a solid third place finish despite a hectic heat race where another rider got their leg lodged into the rear wheel of Mike's bike.

UMX riders Jarno Verhorevoort and Erwin Robins entered a few races last weekend to get ready for the first Open Dutch outdoor national in Gemert this upcoming weekend (18 March).

When it's too cold and too wet to ride at home and the season is about to begin there are a couple of options. The Swedes like Magnus Lindfors (Carla Pro Shop/UMX) move down to Holland where the Dutch are looking for the sun and go seek for dry tracks over in Spain.Universal rider Jarno Verhorevoort spent a couple of weeks riding on hard pack terrain but at least he was riding. The Suzuki held

The season has started for Erwin Robins. The undefeated 2006 champion of the MON MX1 class entered his first race in Boekel, The Netherlands and claimed a 4th and a 12th place finish for 8th overall on his 2-stroke Pro Circuit tuned 250cc Yamaha.In the first moto he almost hit the gate which messed up his start. He did his laps and made it to 4th place. The start of the second moto was a lot

Here we are ready to embrace another year of the Indianapolis Dealer Expo and these final 48 hours are killing us. Besides all of the good times we will enjoy with dealers, distributors, and international customers that we rarely get to see, we actually have some stuff that we have been working on for over a year and we finally get to roll it out.

One of the perks of getting good on the bike is sponsorship. When you've reached a certain level, companies start flowing you free parts. Freestyle Motocross guys start being asked to do a show left and right and sometimes end up in amazing places. Recently German Universal MX rider Busty Wolter made a trip to New Zealand for the X-Air comp. He managed to get 4th place. Not bad, but it's the

Today marked the one year anniversary of Jeff Alessi's 2006 season ending crash, which took away his ability to walk for most of last season. 365 days, and three surgeries later Jeff retraced his roots, and competed and was victorious in the opening round of the CMC Golden State nationals, at perhaps the nation's premier race track Glen Helen cycle park. Good to see you shred again Jeff!

Now that the holiday season is over, we are sure you are ready to hit the tracks. When you picked up your new bike, the first question in your mind may have been... will Universal have clamps available for my bike early in '07? Yes!

Because we work in an industry that is supported by people who like to play, we decided to take advantage of the Holiday season and take the week off. The Universal office is shut down from 12 noon Friday, Dec 22nd through New Years Day and returning to work on Tue, Jan. 2nd.

You can call it training or you can call it having fun. Mike and Jeff Alessi rode a lot last week (when do they not ride?) at the 2007 KTM photo shoot and the Motocross Action magazine Industry day.

The first IFMXF round in Poland is over. First of all: all my cars, bikes and gear is still in my possesion! Yeah! The track was difficult to ride, since the area was pretty small and the dirt was really wet. That caused a lot of wheelspin for all of the riders, in spite of the metal in the in-runs! After I nearly had two bad crashes because of that I decided that I don’t want to risk my life by

Okay, we admit it. It's probably not our Factory Orange KTM Monocoque stands that helped Martin Davalos post the fastest MX2 lap time at the opening round of the 2007 Amp’d Mobile World SXGP season. But it's nice to be associated with winners and we're glad to be part of the KTM program again for 2007. Next to the factory KTM Red Bull supercross team, MX, Offroad and Supermoto program, you can

Erwin Robin's championship party was a good one. Fans, sponsors, fellow riders, family and friends showed up to celebrate a perfect season that captured the 2006 MON MX1 title. Erwin himself was enjoying the party but stated that he had already started training for the next season.

The Universal Samson Bedrack is a simple way to help carry your bikes in the van, the trailer or in the back of your pick-up. It takes 15 minutes to install. All you have to do is drill three holes in the back and attach the Universal bedrack with the three (loophole) bolts that come in the package. A short Mercedes Vito van (pictured) fits two bikes in case you were wondering. Get one.

Mike made the trip to Sheffield, England and took on the competition on the Dirt Wurx designed track. Japan GP winner Billy MacKenzie (UK), Colton Falcotti (Canada) and South African Nevil Bradshaw were his main competition but Mike showed good speed and won the Lites

The Lierop MX circuit is considered one of the heaviest race tracks on earth. The 2004 Motocross Des Nations took place on this track and it also hosts an annual Grand Prix race that is feared by those riders who love hard pack tracks. Mike D. walked one lap when he was over and had to puke when he crossed the finish line. Oh wait, that's when we went for a mountainbike ride... Back to racing. A

Universal MX rider Jarno Verhorevoort was planning on finishing in the top ten in the Open Dutch standings going into the last championship race in Mill. Although one-lap time practice isn't his specialty, Jarno clocked the 14th time that gave him a decent spot on the gate. In heat one Jarno dove into the first corner in 15th place and stayed around that position during the race and wasn't able

The move from the National Federation (KNMV) to the MON this year has turned out well for Erwin Robins. The competition might be a little less but it doesn't hurt to win week in and week out. The Dutch championship series is 11 races long, meaning the riders have 22 motos to score points. Once the MON MX1 title was in the pocket for Erwin, he had another goal to reach; a perfect season!In a

Universal has been a believer in the concept of Vital MX from the beginning. If you have not signed up for an account, you could be missing out. They are into rewarding members by handing out gear to those that help keep content relevant and, ummm... Vital.This time around, member Tiki scored a Universal Monocoque stand and T-Shirt.

A quick thanks to the Universal International distributors who took the time to sit down with us at the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany. We met up with Madison (UK), JTR (Australia), Paul's Boutique (NL), TNT Offroad (Germany), Sano Europe (Belgium), Set-Up racing (Spain) and Speedfreak (Portugal). We found the ultimate motocross bike at the booth of a Chinese vendor; THE PEACE. American flags

Fabian Baersachs and Busty Wolter did some great shows with the Upforce crew during the Intermot motorcycle show in Cologne, Germany last week. Doing four shows a day is a bit rough but none of the UMX riders showed any slack. They just used it to get ready for the IFMXF Night of the Jumps that was taking place in the Cologne-Dome on the weekend. Enjoy the photos of Fab and Busty.Pics: BdJ

If you are contemplating becoming a professional freestyle motocrosser, you might want to think again. Universal rider Busty Wolters demonstrates the mindset you must have before heading off to attempt the level of tricks that are being performed these days... take a close up shot of yourself in the mirror and if you dont look quite as crazy as Busty... you are probably like most of us, and

Well, it turns out that our Brand Manager Mike D is out partying with the Europeans this week, possibly celebrating the victory of Erwin or learning some freestyle maneuvers from Busty. Either way, he will likely come back with a palate that appreciates a finer lager than he is used to here. It is unlikely that he will beat the record of 4 - 8.6s by McGoo, but will probably be giving it a go.If

Universal MX dealer Jan Heusschen (JH Service) over in The Netherlands is one of the main sponsors of Jarno Verhorevoort. Jarno rides as much as he can and entered a beach race in Vlissingen this past weekend. The rider from Helmond finished 5th in both heats. The race was a good way to prepare for the second to last Open Dutch MX National championships race this upcoming weekend in Harfsen.We

Busty Wolter from Germany just stuck his second big flip on dirt. The first one happened over a year ago. It's such a mental trick that it takes the right settings to go for it. Busty reports that he's going to write this trick on his Universal bar pad for the upcoming comps.Next few shows will be at the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany next week where Mike D. and Bart de Jong will meet up with

Yeah we've been advertising our Universal product in the big mags and we hope you've been checking them out. The latest ad shows a Tig welded and heat treated white Monocoque stand that has a MSRP of $ 99.95.

If you have not yet had the priviledge to use our new Hot Start Button for your 4 stroke then you should take a close look at the thought that has gone into the one product that truly stands out from the rest. The OTP design that replaces the bracket on your front brake lever and includes a nylon rotator sleeve are only two of the points that make it ultra trick. The aggressive knurling on the

If you've been following the Universal News section you have noticed that we do sponsor Erwin Robins. The Dutch Yamaha rider has been winning all championships races in the 2006 season. With three races to go Erwin had to finish with a 1 - 9 in Horst to claim the MX1 title. Erwin rides a 2-stroke 250YZ and the bikes are supposed to be slower on the first straight coming out of the gate. In Moto

If you have called into the office at Universal, or received a message through our myspace page, you have probably been in contact with Amanda whether you knew it or not. Amanda does some modeling on the side and as you can see, looks great in a pair of netted stockings. Mike D shows you kids what life in the MX world is all about.

Okay, okay, congrats to Team USA for winning the Motocross des Nations in England. Although they did not win one moto, the team showed consistency which helped them beat the Belgians (2nd) and team New Zealand (3rd). Over in Switzerland Universal's Erwin Robins scored a 6-6-8 for 5th overall in the 2006 international Imba standings. Good job Erwin! This upcoming weekend Erwin can win the National

Universal is all about showing support for their riders and giving credit where it’s due. Today we give props to SX Lites Superstar, Jeff Crutcher. In this photo he celebrates with a fist pump in honor of the special needs children he helps out on the weekends. Good work J-Bone!

Winning never gets boring. Just ask Erwin Robins and Jarno Verhorevoort. Erwin went to Stein and won both motos for yet another MON win in the MX1 class while Jarno went to St. Isidorushoeve (say that ten times fast!) to score a 1 - 2 finish for first overall. Now you try a set of Universal handlebars and you might win too!
