Drake's Passage on Fuel TV
I met Drake McElroy when we were both 80cc Juniors, following a moto in which we diced a little bit at Silver State Raceway in Carson City. We chatted at his truck for awhile, and I remember Drake had short, bleached hair at the time, which seemed punk-rock and pretty awesome to me.
Over the years, Drake, who grew up in Fernley, shifted from racing to freestyle, a discipline which seemed to suit his creativity and bike-handling skills well. And now he has his own show on Fuel TV, which features his exploits as he travels the world as a rider and freestyle judge. It premieres tomorrow, Monday August 15 at 10 pm EST.
Drake is an original, and I'm betting his show will be too, so give it a look if your cable provider is kind enough to provide Fuel (and you might want to consider switching if they're not, because Fuel has some excellent shows nowadays.)
