Driven to Ride: Episode 15

Tuesday, July 17, 2012 | 5:00 PM

Derek and Tucker recap their weekend at Millville and head west!

We are extremely saddened by the loss of our good buddy Art Jefferson. We always looked forward to seeing art ripping his scooter around! The races won't be the same without him.

Rest in Peace, Art.

Derek HUGE PROPS to you man! 10th is big time brother!

Tucker, keep pushin man, your attitude is awesome! It is amazing how good the competition is. I know you and Derek ride together all the time and I am sure you guys are close in skill and speed.

It is wild to think that you guys are so close and I am sure you acknowlege that Derek has the edge on you but then you show up to one of these events and find 15 or 20 guys that squeeze in that little gap that seperates you and Derek.

You guys show the world just how hard and how compettitive it is to try and make a living at this sport.

I never thought I would be hooked looking for results and watching guys that are not household names. Congrats Derek on your TV time and the shout out from Weege during Millville coverage!!!

You guys are my favorite guys to watch, not named Ryan! I am a huge RV and RD fan but I am proud to say I am also an DA and TS fan.

THanks for the great series and sorry about your boy Art, you guys gave him some video time and the proper send off to the moto pits in the sky.

Keep it up gents, good luck at Washougal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, great stuff. These mini-documentaries blow away ALL of the reality shows on TV right now. I'd watch full length episodes of these two guys (and other privateers) throughout the entire outdoor season. Hopefully Racer X does this again next year with two new privateers. I really like their positive and humble attitudes! Also, great to see Dunlop, Motosport, etc. helping theses guys out. It's the right thing to do and I will support those brands based on their good will. Keep charging guys!

You guys rock, very cool to see the struggles of the Pros we only see in the results. Sad to hear about Art, as a former racer I really loved guys who showed love to the no name guys..... Like me. Godspeed Art. Keep it up Derek and hope your arm gets better Tucker.
