Well, 2011 came and went just like every other year- except for the fact that I'm an effing CHAMPION!!! This past year's TSCEC (Texas State Championship Enduro Circuit) Enduro season was a blast. I had a great time recapping some of the races as my 7th beer dribbled down my beard and onto my tattered VB Racing shirt at last night's champion dinner with some friends. It was a good night of sitting

Our drive condensed to a 1 minute time lapse. Some nose picking, napping, laughing, yelling, and a punch to the face. Our wives can handle anything! Timelapse to Cycleland : 1.14.2012 from woodybepierced on Vimeo. Big Thanks to Seattime.co for the footage!

Re posted from the boys over at Seat Time: Video of Cole and Cameron Kirkpatrick riding in Post, Tx. The snow all week made for epic conditions. It was the first time that Cameron and Cole have gotten to ride at their place in Post since the fire in April. They gave big thanks to John Hughes for braving the cold and shooting.

I am VERY excited about these. It's a design I've been dabbling with for a while now. The shirts are on a tri-blend fabric with a slim/ athletic cut. It's a very fitted shirt with a comfortable, soft feel. If you're right on the line between two sizes, bump up on these. They feel amazing and breathe great, so this will be a shirt you reach for often! They're available in the Gear store on the

I have no clue how this actually came together with little to no resistance, but I'm VERY glad of it. My pops and I have wanted to get to this event for years, and we decided this was the year to make it happen. Strangely, though, the weekend fell on the same days as both my wife and I's first anniversary as well as my birthday. Hells yeah I wanna go for my birthday, but I tiptoed a little when

What a Race!!! Enduros are always tough. Every single one of them. It doesn't matter if it's the rockiest, nastiest, toughest terrain or a cart path- you ride them all as hard as you can, and you know it at the end. This particular course, the Caney Creek Enduro, is put on by the Trail Riders of Houston. It winds through the Sam Houston National Forest, full of trees, sand, whoops, and some

As cool as everything seemed, I eBayed it. Here in Texas, we have a little heat to deal with. That said, when it's time to get a new lid, I pay very close attention to venting and weight. I'm a sucker for murdered out black graphics and tough looking helmets, but after having my brain boil in a few, I've come to appreciate the better things in life- like a well vented and light helmet.

24 Hour Race was CANCELLED!!! It took a lot of wind out of my sails, so I went off grid for a little while. Did some camping, spent a lot of time with the crew, and I've been back to the designing board with some stuff I'd like to release in the fall. I'm looking at doing another nice fitted shirt with a design that I'm steadily falling in love with. I'd like to pair it with a batch of military

Alpinestars Tech 7 Boots! Time for a review! There's not much out there on these boots yet, so I thought I'd chip in. Aside from a little paragraph in Dirt Bike Magazine, I couldn't find a thing on these when it was time to replace my trusty old Tech 8's. If you're anything like me, you want to make sure everything you buy is worth it, especially when it comes to something as vital as boots!

Only 32 more days until the Texas Xtreme 24 Hour Challenge! We're coming into the last month of prep time for the big race, and it's about to get nutty. I'm trying to think through every possible issue, detail, and scenario. We're gathering all the little goodies like lenses, socks, gloves, etc. We're also testing more gear and setups, as well as trying to dial in the nutrition. Looks like this

59 days and an undisclosed amount of money later... SHE'S ALIVE! What you see here is a bike that died a brutal death in a mud/ water/ pit of despair at the Train Robber's National Enduro. When she took her last breath, water was about 3 inches over the seat. The motor was completely trashed in the process, as well as every seal and bearing: Luckily, that was the last race for a while on my

Missed the three month update! That's alright though, been a steady grind of prep work. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, VB Racing has entered The Tejas Xtreme 24 Hour Race in East Texas this September. I'll be lining up in the Ironman class and trying to hammer out as many laps as possible in the 24 hour time period. I decided a while back that the preparation was definitely key, so

HUGE props to Leeland Sinclair for his performance at the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hillclimb! He edged out the rest of the 450 Supermoto Class and took the win this last Sunday at Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs. A great follow-up to last year's "Rookie of the Year" award which he also won. His brother, Stuart Sinclair, also had a great day and took the win in the 750 class aboard his

Whoof. Take a race that is usually good for a 50% dnf rate in good conditions, and add nearly 2 feet of rain. My personal first DNF since I started racing enduros. Saturday started well with a nice drive to Bismarck, Arkansas with Bloody J on board and picking up Kiwi a little east of home. We rolled in early to catch the 1st ever Awesomeness Competition that Seat Time was putting on. Absolutely

And I signed up for Ironman. It's really starting to feel real now, and I'm seeing the impending beat down just around the corner.

First off, Happy Mama's Day to all the mommies out there! We had a helluva weekend ourselves. Once again, bachelor party time was upon us! But with amount of relentless debauchery that is our daily lives, we opted to do something a little different for our boy Kiwi. We went back to our roots and planned out an Arkansas trip to the very campground where a lot of us met, got to know each other, and

I'm usually a nut when it comes to product research. But when it came to this brace, there was no real world review of it yet to ease my mind. I'd seen it at the Parts Unlimited Dealer Expo on Supercross weekend and got curious. The features seemed solid, carbon fiber always trumps reasonable judgment, and my poor EVS web sounds like the tin man when I walk. Blinded by the bling and re-assured by

Tuesday night was the night! My helmet lights finally came in last week, and I hadn't had the chance to really set them up and try a lap around Mullet Mountain yet. (Mullet Mountain is my trail here at the compound- business in the front, party in the back!)

Yesterday was the TRIC (Trail Riders in Christ)/ RRDR (Red River Dirt Riders) Enduro in Muenster, TX. I love this place, it's by far my favorite riding spot! It's got great terrain, TONS of trails, and a section where quads aren't allowed. Not to mention that it's only 40 minutes from my house! And in North Texas terms, 40 minutes is basically around the corner. Loved the course they mapped out

Cycleland 2011! Last year, as I was laying in the sand exhausted and pinned underneath my bike, I thought to myself: I'm so glad this race is only once a year and I don't have to do it again for an entire season. Well, guess which race was scheduled first when the new series was announced! For my first race in my new class, and my first attempt to complete the long course at an enduro, we were

Welcome to Thunderdome! It's going to be a great year for Vita Brevis! Racing is in full swing as we finish the TORO series and start in with the Enduro series. Hopefully we're all ready for the relentless beatdown that's sure to come! This last weekend was TORO at Bonita- a 14.5 mile loop of sand, whoops, and man-sized jumps!

Tons of racing, some great trips lined up, and some unbelievably cool new gear coming out this season! We brought in the new year with style with a gathering at Woody's place, then rocked a great camping trip up to Beaver's Bend! Hated to miss the Bowie Race, but Kiwi
