Blair Brothers to race AX series
These two are from northern California, but we've seen them in northern Nevada plenty of times over the years.
****
(Lodi, CA) – Daniel and Vincent Blair are poised and prepared to make some noise in 2011 with their new team that will be contesting the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series, kicking off on January 8th and 9th at the BOK Center in Tulsa, OK.
The Blair’s band, "The Main Event", is also launching their new and highly anticipated EP "Hiatus" in January to coincide with their racing efforts.
Daniel Blair’s (#25) race resume is as impressive as any in the AMA Arenacross Series. Daniel finished 9th in overall points for the 2009 East Coast Supercross Lites class, racing for the GEICO Powersports Honda Team, and has had numerous top-10 finishes in AMA Supercross Lites/ Supercross main events, X Games and high-profile International races. As an amateur, Daniel won three AMA National titles and he’s the first rider in AMA Pro Racing history to qualify for both a 125cc and 250cc Supercross main event in the same night aboard a four-stroke motorcycle.
Joining Daniel will be his longtime riding companion and younger brother, Vincent #27. With podium finishes and consistent top 5 finishes, Vincent, 23, will look to be an instant threat on the AMA Arenacross Series tour.
Having qualified for a number of Supercross main events, Vincent also won three amateur AMA National titles.
In addition to their notoriety and successes within the world of Motocross, the Blair’s band, "The Main Event", will also be releasing there second EP, Hiatus", in January. Daniel (vocals) and Vincent (guitar) formed the band in 2004 and have developed a strong fan following. Their musical talents have seen them perform at Warped Tour, as well as numerous International tours.
"Both Vincent and I can’t wait to hit the starting gate on January 8th", stated Daniel. "We’ve been training so hard and feel more prepared than ever. We’re equally excited to share "Hiatus" with the world…Vincent and I spent countless hours in the studio and can’t wait to release it."
Aboard Honda CRF 450’s, the Blair Brother’s will be supported by top brands that include Troy Lee Designs, Alpinestars, Renthal, Motorex, Factory Backing, TCR, Motosport Hillsboro, Guts Racing, No Toil, Works Connection, UFO Plastics, Scott Goggles, AiRide Suspension, Dunlop, and EVS.
Due to a last-minute change, the Blair’s are actively seeking a primary sponsor for their team. Interested parties should contact tballard@nxtagency.com

Levi LaVallee Goes 361 feet
A bad crash has forced Levi LaVallee to shelve his New Year's Eve jump for Red Bull, but he still went this far in practice.
This isn't motocross--and it may not even be true snowmobiling considering the utter lack of snow--but it's still pretty awesome.
