XDL SPORTBIKE FREESTYLE CHAMPIONSHIP

Chris “Teach” McNeil gives you the inside scoop from Round 1 of the XDL Sportbike Freestyle Championship at Lake Havasu, AZ.

By Chris McNeil

The first round of the 2009 XDL National Championship kicked off in Lake Havasu, AZ - the perfect setting after a long winter consisting mostly of cross training on my new BMW G450X. The addition of a new toy hauler made the trip down very easy and also continued to up the professionalism of XDL’s appearance – although the rig would cause problems later on with a couple of tire blowouts.

Movie cars. There's the Batmobile (seen here getting a hand wash at a SoCal carwash, love the 2-handed technique BTW), the Ecto-1 Ghostbusters-mobile, the General Lee, Will Smith's Mustang from I Am Legend and now this . . .

Personalized plates. Some are creative, others just seem to be a confusing secret code of letters and numbers. Many believe that by excluding vowels, you can save room and make your personal plate convey an even deeper meaning. No, it just frustrates the hell out of the person behind you trying to figure out what it means.

If you're in the market for a personal plate the DMV's Personal License Plate Inquiry is as useful as it is entertaining.

Here is the second installment of interviews from Stuntwars. This is a short little interview that I did with "Crazy" Dan Jackson in front of a cop car. They were trying to arrest him for being too crazy! haha so maybe not really but check this interview out and Dan's account of how his Stuntwars played out.

At Stuntwars this year I was handed a mike and was told to run around and perform some interviews. Well here is the first of several interviews I did with some of the top pros that were in attendance this year! Check out this one with Kane and Ill be back with more from some of the top stunt riders in the game!
