The Frustartion, the Emotion, The Desire...

Privateers make the Best Case for why Motocross is THE Sport.

You make us very proud.

I also just put it up on the homepage this morning. That whole series was a highlight of the summer! So cool getting to follow along their journey.

Thanks Jim and to everyone that made it possible! They made a ton of fans, that is for sure.

By far my biggest moto addiction this year. Just so ya know, was way more stoked to get your videos than watch the racing on TV. Thanks Derek and Tucker, the raw emotion in the videos was epic!

Too bad that we couldn't get video of them in practices and in the races... So yeah, have Fuel do a reality show, pay rights to those entitled and lets see them in action..

Awsome show. My wife started watching the Nationals again because of Driven to Ride. She also went to Washougal as a result of this where she normally is more likely to skip it. Well done all around!

Great series guys! Thanks for sharing your story with all of us who wish we had the balls to go for it like you did!

I can't remember the last time I sat in front of my computer cheering for people in practice. I found myself watching the lap times all sat morning hoping that Tucker would get in.

By far the best "webisode" mx series to date. Good job!

Unreal series, nothing like watching the Heart and Sole of MX toughing it out through a season.

Great insight to what true privateers go through in a season.

NO team truck with a driver taking their bikes to each round. NO flying to and from each round, just on the road pounding out the hours behind the wheel driving from round to round with a little riding practice along the way.

Also shows how tough it is to even get a pretty stock 450 through just one season of MX with no hassles at that level.

Amazing series, hopefully we see it back again next year, though could take awhile to get used to seeing something like the number 72 on Andersons' bike Smile

I agree for sure.

It's amazing how competitive a mostly stock 450 is. Derek almost pulled the holeshot first moto at elsinore and he's not a small dude.

Thanks for such a great series! You do remarkable work and HUGE props to Tucker and Derek for making it through the whole series. They did great!
Driven to Ride made me a big fan of those two guys, who otherwise would have sadly gone unknown to me.
I hope you can finish your title sentence with...."the best things are yet to come."
Thanks again!

Thanks everyone for the awesome feedback on the series! Derek, Tucker, and I are already bored to death trying to figure out what to do. haha

Shorty has a Supercross track right? Grab your camera, let's get Derek some SX suspenders and time to go back at it haha.

I hope you were able to turn some heads with your solid work all summer, privateer videographer style in the funmover too. I'm sure editing down the road isn't easy.

Watching this series from the start to finish.....I almost feel like I'm leaving two brothers behind. I really feel for these two dudes. Over all the years of being in this sport myself and knowing and being friends with guys who did the exact same thing Derek and Tucker did......I know it's a tough road.

Sixfortyone : Dude.....thank you for putting this video series up man! I actually ran into Scott from Motosports last night at PIR and told him "Thank you" for helping out Derek and Tucker! I told him that he helped back two great kids that make his shop look good.....and he had a big smile and said "Thank you" back. I've known Scott for a long time.....and he loves giving back to the sport. I hope he helps out Tucker and Derek this next season as well........as I'd really like to see this series again next year!
