From profiles of the hottest names in the sport to insightful takes about the changes in the sport from up and coming young guns, it’s all here in the stirring words and images of the biggest names in Supercross.

Billy Ursic grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania with dreams of one day becoming a professional motocross racer. He succeeded in 2000, but after qualifying for two 125cc MX Nationals, he quickly realized how hard it would be to actually make a career of racing. So on to plan B: college. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing in 2003 and was hired by one of the leading motocross/Supercross publications, Racer X Illustrated. Ursic is currently an Associate Editor and Online Editor with Racer X, and his writing can be found both in print and on their website, www.racerxill.com. Ursic still finds plenty of time to ride, and he continues to compete locally at the expert level.
