Seat Time | A Dirt Bike Podcast

If you’ve kept up with the Seat Time videos, you know the Astra Offroad Handlebars I had on the Sherco were one of the parts that truly changed the way I rode the two stroke. When I got on the GasGas, I knew I also wanted to ride with the low-rise Astra handlebars. I learned the hard way that the weight and rotating mass of a four stroke changes the handling characteristics of the motorcycle, crea...

The White Rock Enduro was exactly what I was looking for in a technical enduro. The roads were dusty, but the rocks and roots in the trail were still slick as all get out. I was on row 28 again, this time following Dylan Souther from Colorado. We went back and forth all day. When it got tight, I would catch and pass him. The other times, he would either out ride me, or I would crash myself into ob...

Alan "Doc" Cotton is a Race Tech Suspension tuner out of his shop, 812 Suspension , in Round Rock, Texas. This is th...

A left Rotator Cuff injury, a right MCL injury, a chainsaw to the left forearm and now a left fractured Scaphoid; it's been a rough 10 months. I can't let these injuries get me down though.
