Social Scoop 5

During the week we spend a lot of time behind our keyboards on the internet... and I mean A LOT! Luckily for you, that means there isn't much that gets past us. We especially keep a close eye on social media, so check out some of our top picks from this past week!

Michael's Picks

I'm a sucker for anything titanium or anodized, thanks to Paggio from Oakley for giving me something to drool over.

APaggio: This is one expensive drawer inside @ryanvillopoto @kawasakiracing rig #alltiparts.


This one comes from my buddy Colton Haaker, apparently him and Dean Wilson were attacked by Joey Mac this week. Check out Dean's wrestling skills!

ColtonHaaker: @joeymac_420 came up on @deanwilson15 training in the 9 and threw down over rut track turf!! Tag the Joey in your hood that thinks he's good enough to train with the pro's!!


Thanks to Facebook and Instagram, some of the top riders have been able to share some insane videos of themselves hitting some big sections during the week at their private tracks, that normally would go unseen. Ricky Carmichael was able to snag this one of Ryan Dungey out at the ranch this week.

RickyCarmichael: Went out to watch @ryandungey ride today and he's doing @daveprater 's favorite kind of SX jump!! I guess you call this a quad... We have it ready for you to try.


Kevin Windham has been wowing us with his opening ceremony transfers. What we usually don't see is what happens when they go wrong. Jeremy McGrath caught this angle of Kevin coming up just a bit short on the transfer he planned to do this last weekend in Houston. Thankfully, Kevin is okay.

JeremyMcGrath2: Ok, you guys know I love KW, but I think he is nuts. Here is a shot of why I think he is nuts. This was yesterday at Houston SX, thank GOD he is doing fine but definitely one scary moment! Be sure to watch #SXonfox tonight.. 7 30pm central. Glad your ok @kdub14


Our own GuyB is a master at catching some of the craziest moments, or maybe he just attracts them... we aren't sure yet.

VitalMX: Leaning on each other. @cooperwebb_37 and @justinhill35 Coop won this one. #supercross


Scottie's Picks:

You can always find some cool jewels hanging around the Fox HQ, including this beauty.

Foxracing: #tbt this week takes place at none other than our @foxheadinc HQ.


Sending out a get well wish to Justin Brayton, as he left Houston SX with more injuries that he came into the race with.

JBoneJGR: Thanks for the help Asterisk! @justinbrayton hurt his hand.


To go with the pic Michael posted, here is a clip of the true bar banging between Cooper Webb and Justin Hill.

FoxPeteFox: Bar to bar racing tonight.


It's always very cool when fans give back to riders, as Ryan Dungey demonstrates here with a beautiful hand drawn picture.

RyanDungey: Pretty amazing hand drawn picture from a fan in Houston. Quite a gift! By Brett Enderle.


How is this for a throwback, love some of the inside tid bits Pete Fox shares on his IG account, he's seen it all.

FoxPeteFox: When I was 15 I talked Rick Johnson into signing with Fox. He was so fast and so cool, but not yet the dominant champ he became. I was a huge fan. We met and I shared with him some new Fox designs I was working on and the cool stuff we could create together. I will always be grateful to Ricky for giving me that chance. I don't know if any of what we've achieved with Fox could have been possible without him in the mix at that point in time. This 1985 photo was from our first year working together. I was 16 and still in high school. I think Ricky's dad custom made the very first version of the visor he's wearing.


Scottie: The week is never complete without a whip, and this one is pretty serious!

Michael: I'm so pumped to see Bryce really starting to make a name for himself. Just a few years ago when he was still doing moto, we were out at Perris Raceway and he decides to huck this huge 120ft triple. He cased it so hard it blew his rear wheel out, I couldn't believe he didn't crash! Was he freaked out? No... he was just bummed because he couldn't try it again!

TroyLeeDesigns: @Bhud96 has only been with us for a short time, and already he's been representing TLD like a boss! He'll be heading to @xgames Austin this June and we are looking forward to seeing him return with a gold medal! #tld #xgamesaustin #fmx Learn more about Bryce at: bit.ly/BHud96.


I also want to give a big shout out to Ken Roczen, for showing some love and taking a pic with one of my t-shirts on. Thanks Kenny!!

See you next week!
