Todd Bennick needs to write a book. You’d learn a lot from it. He dropped out of high school while racing motorcycles, but built a successful business—several of them, actually—by embracing risk, and then mixing in grit and street smarts. “Scared money don’t make money” is his motto, and he’ll tell you about buying and building houses, land, marinas, cars, motorhomes, and even a plane. Todd’s been there and done it. He’s also jumped it. Todd Bennick held a pro license in 1992 and ’93 and scored some top-tens in 125SX East AMA Supercross, and then launched himself into the freestyle world by literally jumping buses at local churches.
We are deeply rooted in Moto—We’ve been here all our lives. Back in 1998 when we turned an underground newspaper into a shiny color magazine, it immediately changed the game with its unprecedented depth of coverage, sense of humor, and access to the sport’s biggest names. Today, our readers know they can go to Racer X Online for all the news, race results, and event coverage they need, and then enjoy even more detail and perspective in the pages of Racer X Illustrated. The mag offers a chance to learn something new on every page and stay connected with the people and personalities that shape our sport—the competitors out on the racetrack, as well as the ones behind the scenes—through our exclusive deep-dive stories and columns.
Our trademark has always been insider knowledge from the experts who are at the races and around the sport. We have long prided ourselves on our unparalleled race reporting and detailed storytelling. We go deep with the riders and teams to provide comprehensive coverage you won’t find anywhere else—all with first-class photography and design. It’s a full education in motocross past, present, and future.
