Freddie Noren, who, despite missing three mid-season rounds because of a wrist injury, finished out the series 19th in the final 450-class standings. We asked the likable and friendly Swede now living and racing in the U.S. for his take on the 2021 outdoor season and what's in store for "Fast Freddie" in 2022. Here's what he had to say.

Christian "CD" Dresser is a rider on the move—both literally and figuratively. The Oviedo, Florida native and former racer-turned-freerider has experienced tremendous growth recently with his social media following thanks to his silky-smooth style and massive physics-defying whips. But as a talented upcoming freerider living and riding in Florida, he realized the time was now for a change of scenery to keep his momentum going. So he packed up his bike and belongings and moved his base of operations from Florida to southern California to take his freeriding career to the next level. We were curious to know more, so we called up Christian and asked him about the move, what it's been like adjusting to his new west coast lifestyle, and what's ahead in the future.

With the Summer Olympic Games recently ending, we asked #TeamEVS athlete Payton "P-Nut" Ridenour about her experience representing the United States as a member of Team USA BMX.

With the 2021 Loretta Lynn's Amateur National Motocross Championships in the rear view mirror, we looked back at the great week we had in Tennessee supporting #TeamEVS athletes and hanging out with some of the best Amateur riders and their families in the country.

Motocross, and athletics in general, to the public can often be deceiving.  The general public doesn’t see the amount of ‘work’ that gets put in for riders at the top of the sport to race at the level that they do.  That ‘work’ can come in various forms…obviously there is a large amount of actual riding being done on the motorcycle, but there’s also a large amount of off the bike training and exercise that’s all done to help a rider race at the highest level.

We check in with Team TiLube/Storm Lake Honda Racing rider Grant Harlan to see what he's been up to lately and how his recovery is going after his crash at the Daytona Supercross earlier this year.

For those participating in action sports, shoulder injuries can be a common occurrence. That’s why EVS created a line of shoulder braces and supports for action sports athletes for dealing with and helping to prevent shoulder injuries. This article provides a brief, high-level overview of the various models that make up the EVS line of shoulder braces.

The EVS design team is driven to create products that protect action sports athletes. It's one of the main reasons we continue to do what we do and create protective equipment to help keep our enthusiast customers protected no matter what the activity. For the latest installment in our 'Why Wear' series, we interviewed motocross racer Josh Tracy to ask him why he uses EVS Knee Braces when he rides moto. Here's his story.

Crashes are an inevitable part of riding dirt bikes, and as racers, we inherently know each time we suit up, there’s a chance of going down, especially when other racers are added to the mix on the same track. For EVS athlete Zachary Pope, one minor miscue led to what he describes as a freak accident and one of the wildest rides of his life. The crash, captured by photographer Mike Vizer, went viral on Instagram with 235,000+ views to date. So, I called up Zachary Pope to ask about his crash, check in on his recovery, and find out when he hopes to get on the bike and riding again.

Before the series kicked off, we caught up with R.J. to ask him about his outdoor preparation and goals coming into the 250 MX Series this summer.

As 2021 rolls on and we begin to get into the meat of the 2021 Amateur motocross schedule, our Marketing Coordinator and Athlete Manager Jackson Halsmer decided it was time for another installment in the ‘How to Talk to Sponsors’ series.  Motocross is an expensive sport for all of us and support in any capacity can be hard to find.  Thankfully, there are many avenues and methods on how an amateur rider can gain support from a brand outside of just what they do on the track.  One of those major avenues is social media and in this article we’ll touch on some major dos and don’ts to go off of with social media and how it can help represent a brand you have support from and potentially earn support from new sponsors. 

Innovation is at the heart of EVS SPORTS. Our history of success has always been led by the forward-thinking ideas of our talented Product Design team. Our award-winning engineers continue to be on the forefront of safety and protection design. And while many product advancements have come from the knowledge we’ve gained through experience, much of our success can be attributed to the active partnerships we have with our sister brands LIFT Safety, LIFT Aviation, and LIFT Airborne.

For dirt bike riders, there’s no question that the knees are one of the most complex and vulnerable parts of the human body. Here's a brief overview of knee braces versus knee pads and the pros and cons of both that will help you make a more informed decision.

EVS is proud to offer its latest evolution in technology by introducing the Hex Pro Knee Pad. Hex Pro Knee Pads offer heavy-duty protection in a lightweight package using EVS’ new Hex Pad impact technology to provide CE EN 1621-1 level protection from knee impacts that extends impact protection zones to the sides of the knee and upper shin. A unique U-lock ring design surrounds the impact pad’s upper interior to lock it in place and limit migration during impact.

It’s a given that EVS products help protect riders, but something that’s often overlooked is gear bags to protect your protective equipment investment.

The 2021 Snocross season came to a close at the World Championship Derby Complex in Eagle River, Wisconsin, and #TeamEVS athletes across all classes closed out the season on a high note.
