Rebuilding Loretta Lynn’s After Disastrous Flood | Part I

On August 21, 2021, over 10-15 inches of rain fell upon Waverly, TN, a location and town that’s very near and dear to the entire motocross community, as it houses the prestigious grounds of the Loretta Lynn’s Motocross course. As the historic rainfall came down, it caused mass destruction to the town, and many lives were lost, including one of Loretta’s Ranch Foreman, Wayne Spears, who we’ve considered motocross family for decades.

While the devastation was unimaginable, MX Sports and the motocross community have banded together to raise money for Waverly, TN and begin the massive project of rebuilding Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. Hear from MX Sports’ Tim Cotter and Davey Coombs in Part 1 as they talk about the destruction and what it’s going to take to rebuild this iconic gem.

Hailing all the way from Somerset, Kentucky, Blake became engrained in the vurb crew because he came and crushed 14 White Claws, in one sitting, with Wes at Millcreek. After that, we realized his photos were really, really good.... so we decided to make him a video guy? Genius on our part. Blake is currently heading up our Maroon Program. He's Red Program in video, but black belt in photo, so we're pretty sure you get maroon when you mix the two. But we probably should've asked Jeeves to make sure.
The best thing about Blake is he accepts payment in beard oil.
