Kyle Partridge to Ride Damon Wasden's Red Seven for 2010 Supercross Season

(Megan Blackburn)

Las Vegas's Damon Wasden, owner of former BMX team Red Seven, is making the transistion to Supercross. Red Seven in conjunction with Troy Lee Designs will run with Kawasaki's for Partridge in the 450 class and Ronnie Goodwin in the lites class. Partridge, refocused for the 2010 season, stated, "Damon wanted to know if I wanted to do 18 rounds for the 2010 Supercross season. We're on Kawi's for the most part and as of right now I'm just waiting to see what else is going on . Wer'e wearing Troy Lee gear and we have a really good group and everyone is putting in a lot of hard work for the season! I've been going to the gym 3 hours every day, road biking a 17 mile loop and doing a ton of motos. Im really pumped for the 2010 season."

With the passing of his father, Gus, and the arrival of a new baby, 2008 was a year that demanded his focus elsewhere. We're very excited to see what Kyle brings to the table in 2010 and it's great to see him back!

The Only Shoe Pastrana Rides

Did you see “Nitro Circus” on MTV last night? It was a great episode, with highlights including the unveiling of Travis Pastrana’s DC shoe bike and a cool rally Game of S.U.C.K. between Travis and his DC boss and teammate Ken Block. To mark DC-heavy episode,they've done some pretty cool stuff at dcshoes.com. Here, the breakdown:

For the Shoe Bike,they created an all-new feature in the Moto section covering The Only Shoes Travis Pastrana rides. It’s got a full video on the unique DC shoe bike... among the things in the video: how it was made, why it got made, and how Pastrana backflipped it. We’ve also loaded up the feature with all the best photos of Travis breaking-in and eventually destroying the shoe bike, plus info on how to buy the tough DC footwear model that Travis employed as tires on the shoe bike.
