Did you know that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) cares about motorcyclists? Have you seen the billboards on I-4, I-75, and I-95 that warn motorists to Look Twice Save a Life? How about the billboards that advise you to Be Smart…Be Seen or Never Drink and Ride? �e billboards are funded by the FDOT and implemented through Ride Smart Florida and the Florida Motorcycle Safety Coalition. Yes…there is a motorcycle safety coalition in Florida. It was established by the Florida De-partment of Transportation in 2008 in response to the increasing number of motorcycle accidents and fatalities that were occurring.

�e Coalition is comprised of state agency leaders and staff, county leaders, law enforcement officers, motorcycle course trainers, EMT personnel, insurance providers, motorcycle dealers, riding groups, safety advocates, engineers, researchers, trauma center personnel, judges, and others. �e main mission for the Coalition is to implement the Florida Motorcycle Safety Strategic Plan (MSSP) with a goal of improving the overall safety of motorcyclists. �e Coalition looks at all of the safety factors for motorcyclists, but there are four areas that are their main focus at this time: 1. Educating motorists to watch for motor-cycles; 2. Motorcyclists using Personal Protective Equipment including helmets; 3. Speeding; and 4. Drinking and Riding.

Ride Smart Florida is currently leading the efforts to reduce drink-ing and riding in Florida by introducing the Drink + Ride = Lose Campaign. �e campaign will run concurrently with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Drunk Driving National Enforcement Crackdown scheduled August 16 through September 2, 2013.

Here are some sobering facts from the NHTSA and the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Campaign. Each year, nearly 11,000 people die on our roads due to drunk driving. America has more drunk drivers than most countries have people. 17.2 million drivers have driven one or more times in the preceding

12 months when they thought they were over the legal limit. Every 48 minutes one more American will die because of drunk driving. Between midnight and 3am, drunk driving crashes claim a life every 23 minutes. In Florida in 2011, impaired motorcyclists with a BAC of .08+ accounted for 26% of motorcycle fatalities, while impaired motorcyclists with a BAC of .01+ accounted for 32% of motorcycle fatalities. And who are the riders that are drinking and riding? �e age group that was highest for fatally injured motorcycle riders with a BAC .08 g/dL or above was the 40-44 (38%) age group, followed by the 45–49 and 35–39 age groups at 37 percent, respectively.

Studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the states of Florida and Kentucky, and in Australia (“Quick tips: �e Importance of Riding Unimpaired by Alcohol or Other Drugs.” PDF) (Motorcycle Safety Foundation, 2006.) indicate the following:

It’s a well-known fact that drinking is a part of motorcycle riding culture, but it’s a risk-taking behavior that can harm yourself and many other innocent motoring public. �e statistics are sobering, but even greater sobering consequences are getting hurt, getting arrested, or becoming a fatality. Before you put that key in the ignition and swing your leg over the bike, please remember that you are not the only one who suffers the consequences…your family and friends are unwilling victims of your actions. And as a family member and a friend, it’s your duty not to do it and an even greater duty not to let your buddy do it. Far too many friends have been lost on the roads of Florida….it’s up to you to make a difference.

Billboards are just one of the many tools utilized by the Coali-tion to promote Drink + Ride = Lose, motorcycle awareness, and rider education. You may have seen Ride Smart Florida’s tent set up at many of Florida’s motorcycle events, such as Daytona Bike Week, Biketoberfest and the Leesburg Bikefest handing out high-viz backpacks and t-shirts, bumper stickers, magnets, safety tips and more. If you want to know more about the Florida Motorcycle Safety Coalition, the MSSP, Ride Smart Florida or just about anything relating to motorcycle rules, regulations, and safety in the state of Florida, you can find it on our website at

Live to ride another day.

The consequences of drunk riding are serious and real.

Alcohol is quickly absorbed. In just a few minutes, the alcohol from one drink starts to circulate throughout the body and affect the brain. Just one drink will make you five times more likely to crash.

Alcohol and other drugs rob you of your ability to think clearly, use good judgment, react quickly, and maintain control over your motorcycle. These effects start the moment you’ve had your first drink.

Many people don’t understand that alcohol, drugs and motorcycle riding don’t mix. Impaired riding is no accident–nor is it a victimless crime. Riding a motorcycle while impaired is not worth the risk of losing your life, killing an innocent person, ruining your bike, or going to jail.

Here’s just a sample of what you have to lose for a first conviction:

What is the athlete’s diet you ask, and how can it help my performance on the track? Let’s take a look and see how our body traditionally lives in an acidic state with a Standard American diet and how we can move to a more alkaline environment and thrive.

An alkaline diet (The athlete’s diet) helps to maintain and balance our body’s natural pH (potential hydrogen) ratio. For optimal function-ing, the body’s pH should remain between 7.33 and 7.4. The majority of pH imbalances are the result of acidity and are often times difficult to detect by conventional medicine. That being said, most athletes with the right combinations of foods can greatly improve their fitness with more alkaline foods.

Anything we consume or me-tabolize will re-lease either an alkaline or an acidic base into the bloodstream. Our blood, saliva and urine chem-istries keep a tight regulation that is slightly al-kaline. Keeping our body within an acceptable pH range allows our body to function in a way that it protects us from bacterial, viral or fungal invasions.

If the pH becomes too acidic, the body will find an internal source of alkalinity to borrow. The neutralizing minerals can include calcium, mag-nesium, potassium, or sodium. Calcium pulled from bones is a primary cause of osteoporosis. Plaque is a primary consequence of acidity and ranges from plaque on the teeth to plaque in arteries.

The majority of modern diets, even those of athletes, are acidic in nature. This imbalance causes both short term and long-term damage to the system. Some bodies can continue for years with this undetected condition as very few signs and symptoms appear in young athletes. However, the damage is being done, even while our body’s intelligence tries to maintain the pH balance by using any resources available.

A healthy alkaline diet consists of fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, as-sorted nuts and plenty of water. While meat and eggs are not usually acceptable in an alkaline diet, I recommend and use them with my ath-letes, however must be used in the right combinations with to be effec-tive and efficient.

An easy rule to remember for an alkaline diet is to avoid canned foods, boxed foods, sugar, most dairy, carbonated beverages, caffeine and ba-sically anything processed. If you desire optimum athletic performance then an alkaline diet will provide the fuel to win, but must be implement-ed as part of a smooth transition from the Standard American Diet.

Inflammation in the body is where it all starts as far as declining athlet-ic performance due to diet. When your body goes into an inflammatory

state, your defenses are weakened, leaving you susceptible to other diseases. When your body does not have to work as hard to stay in bal-ance, it will remain healthier and able to fight off more important medical issues. In addition, as we reduce inflammation in the body we will im-prove the transport of oxygen to the cells resulting in increased strength, endurance, cardiovascular function and training capacity.

Again, the list of foods high in alkaline, includes vegetables and fruits with very little exceptions. Acidic choices are processed foods and foods high in simple sugars. Vegetables and fruits may not only help reduce low-grade inflammation, but they will release glucose slowly from the liver, keeping your blood sugar levels within a tighter control and in-creasing athletic performance.

5 HealtH Benefits of tHe alkaline Diet for everyone

Increased energyAlmost immediately benefits can be seen in the form of increased

energy. Once the digestive system is able to function properly, you will no longer be weighed down with heavy toxins which cause you to feel fatigued, as these toxins will be removed from the body a lot quicker.

antI-agIngToxins are the number one cause for aging. As they build up in your

body, your cells begin to degenerate which causes wrinkles to appear. When the antioxidants in the fruits and vegetables release the toxins from the cells, they are able to come back to life and prevent and even reverse the signs of aging.

strong teeth and BonesNaturally when there is too much acid in the blood, the body will do

everything it can to restore the balance to where it should be. To do this, the body takes the minerals which are stored in the bones and breaks them down and passes them into the bloodstream. Some of these min-erals are calcium, potassium and magnesium. This causes the bones to become weak and eventually results in osteoporosis.

Prevent BraIn dIsordersStudies have revealed that Alzheimer’s is caused by a toxic buildup

of metals around the brain. The high amounts of antioxidants which are consumed on the alkaline diet help to remove those harmful metals and other toxins in order to restore clarity back to the brain. Attention deficit disorders (ADD), anxiety, nervousness and depression can also be im-proved on this diet.

Prevent PhysIcal dIseaseDid you know that cancer cells can only form in an acidic environ-

ment? When there is not enough acid in the body, the bad bacteria which causes cancer and other diseases will rarely be able to grow or multiply to the point where the body cannot fight them off. The alkaline diet helps to prevent heart disease, asthma, diabetes, arthritis and many common ailments associated with the Standard American Diet (SAD).

FLMX: Malcolm Stewart is the younger brother to James Stewart but is now breaking out of the “Little Brother” role and putting in some awesome results. How does it feel to be breaking out of that role?Malcolm Stewart: Yea I’ve have put some decent results in this year so yea it feels good to break out of it a little bit. But no matter what I will always be known as James Stewart’s little brother.

FLMX: You didn’t start out as always wanting to ride and race like James. I think you would have rather fished than ride. When did that all change and you started taking rac-ing more serious?MS: No! I was all about fishing for sure. I definitely did not want to race. And now that I think back I’m glad I made the right decision to race dirt bikes because you can’t race dirt bikes at an old age. But fishing you can and it didn’t change for me until 2010 when I decided to take it seriously. All before that I never cared about racing.

FLMX: When did you decide to make a push to become pro?MS: I made the push in 2010 when I decided to turn pro for 2011.

FLMX: Your first year on the Suzuki City ride you had some flashes of brilliance and you have kept improving each year. Let’s talk about 2013. You started off on the KTM JDR team and then they had to pull out. How was SX for you?MS: Yeah I started off with JDR and halfway through season JDR was pulling out and I didn’t have a ride for outdoors. SX was Okay for me. I had some good rides

and I’ve had some bad rides but I definitely learned a lot this year.

FLMX: After you were left without a ride, the TLD Honda team picked you up on the 450. You looked amazing on it with your bigger stature and had a great outdoor season. Talk about outdoors this year.MS: Yeah I didn’t have a ride all the way up until Ve-gas. In the second practice unfortunately Christian Craig got hurt and Troy Lee & Tyler Keefe came over between practices and asked me if I had a ride for outdoors. I told them no I was planning on taking a big vacation haha. So they asked me if I wanted try the bike before Hangtown on Monday and I said sure. We showed up at Hangtown but I wasn’t ready at all because I had only been racing Supercross. But yeah once I jumped on that 450 every-thing just clicked and it was way better for me because of my weight. I am very happy the way my outdoor season went and I had some good top 10 finishes and saw the race pace.

FLMX: How was it racing your brother? How much crap talk was there during the week when you had a better fin-ish?MS: There’s always a lot of crap talking around. Mainly it’s not even about dirt bikes, it’s about cars, trucks, who has a bigger motor, who’s system hits harder, but every now and then we will bring up racing but it doesn’t last very long. Who ever beat who, we just keep it to ourselves and try to beat the person the next weekend.

FLMX: You said you really liked the Honda. Is the plan to stay with TLD for next year


MS: Well hopefully I will be there next year. But noth-ing is been official yetFLMX: What are your goals for the 14 season?MS: Well my goal is to get some podium finishes and stay healthy through the whole season.

FLMX: Are you doing any races in the off season?MS: Well I might race monster cup. But that’s about it

FLMX: What do you like to do when you are not rac-ing?MS: I like to get in the water and go wakeboarding or fishing. Just mainly do what ever I can do in that small amount of time that we have before we start getting ready for the following season

FLMX: How are your Mom and Dad doing? Does Big James have to change pit shirts all day at the races?MS: My parents are doing great. And yeah dad is still switching shirts. But now they are going to make himA half and half shirt. Whatever team I’m officially on and the other half will be Suzuki.

FLMX: What’s up with the hair?MS: Well I decided to grow dreads in the end of 2011. There was no reason but I just wanted to do it. And I was thinking about cutting it but nobody wants me to cut it. They say it’s you now, “The new Mookie”

FLMX: Congrats Malcolm on the season, you did amazing. Who would you like to thank and any parting words?MS: I would like to thank my mom and dad my brother. Troy lee for giving me this opportunity to ride for his team, my mechanic Brandon Arnett, and most of all, the fans who have stuck behind me through out this whole year.

2013 LORETTA LYNN’S AMATEUR MX NATIONALHURRICANE MILLS, TN AUGUST 3RD, 2013

SIX12 RACETECH RACE REPORT PICS BY: ROB KOY

The 2013 Loretta Lynn’s Amateur MX National continues to grow year by year. The Area, Regionals, National, Talent, Sponsors and TV Coverage have grown to one unbelievable spectacle now. With thousands of riders from the country and parts of the world who qualify down to the top 42 in each class, Loretta Lynns truly does find out National Champion. With 3 Motos that combine for the overall score, 20 minute motos and chang-ing track conditions it always make for an incredible week. Florida had a strong group of riders going into the National once again looking for titles to bring home. We take a look into LL and how our Florida riders did.

One rider calling Texas home, Matt Bisceglia, put on a showcase of riding for his last Amateur race of his career. Bisceglia has been on the GEICO Honda program for the past couple of years and would make the jump directly into the Pro class after this race. Bisceglia showed why he had the top ride winning the Open Pro Sport class and the 250 A division. Bisceglia would only lose one moto, which came in the second moto of the 250 A class. Troy Lee Designs Honda rider Shane McElrath took that win. McElrath was also making the jump up to the Pro Class after this race for the TLD Honda team. McElrath would finish 2nd overall to Bis-ceglia in both of these classes. RJ Hampshire put in an impressive ride in the Open Pro Sport class, after jumping to Pro this year. Hampshire would take his Alias Honda to the final podium spot in 3rd going 2-4-3 on the week. RJ would finish 10th in the 250 A class going 12-5-28. In the other A class, 450 A, Luke Renzland from Hewitt, NJ took the title on his Yamaha. Jace Owen was 2nd and Andrew Bristol 3rd. Cody Chisholm had a solid top 10 ride coming home in 7th aboard his Jacksonville Pow-ersports/FOX ride.

Jordon Smith is the top prospect in the country in the B class. He has already locked up a GEICO Honda ride for the next few years and with his training and top bikes he looked hard to beat. Smith would come out swinging in the 250 B Limited class winning every moto to take the overall win over Darian Sanayei and Keith Tucker. Smith would run into trouble

though in the 250 B class, he DNFed the first moto and would be out of the championship hunt. The Yamaha rider of Aaron Plessinger would step up to fill the gap, putting in an impressive ride by winning every moto to win the title! Tyler McSwain and Josh Osby would follow him on the podium. Plessinger was not done there, he would go out and win another 3 motos in a row, making it a perfect week for the Yamaha rider! This time it was in the 450 Limited class, he beat out Axell Hodges and Nicholas Ferrell. Tyler McSwain would win the final B class, 450 B, beating out Cody Williams and Austin Morrison.

Next up we look into the C classes. Our top finisher from Florida came from Barneys Rocket Racing/SIX12 RaceTech rider Robbey Ruffner. Ruffner would start off his week by pulling the holeshot in the 250C Lim-ited class, battling for the win and came home 2nd. Ruffner would back it up with a strong final moto to finish up 3rd overall. Adam Nickerson took the win and Zane Johnson was 2nd. Ruffner then took his 250f and raced it in the 450 C class, after struggling with bad starts against the bigger bikes, Ruffner would fight his way through the pack each moto for con-sistent scores. By the end of the week it tallied up to another 3rd place overall finish! Derek Valenzuala would take the win and Nathan Piper 2nd. The 250 C class was won by Tauan Brenner, Donzi Dambrosa was 2nd and Zane Johnson 3rd. Jose Maldonado from Doral, FL finished up 5th overall going 2-9-16.

Coming into the 2013 LL National the biggest story was of a Minnesota native named Jerry Robin. Robin showed up at his regional at Millville aboard his Dads 1985 CR 250. After winning a moto and qualifying on his Vintage bike the story blew up in our industry. People from all over the Nation wanted to know more about the rider and bike. Especially the old 2 stroke guys, they were all about the kid who rode the relic. Robin would get offers from all over the country for help, with bikes, gears, money, and even a full time Summer riding gig at South of the Border. The problem was keeping a 1985 CR 250 running, the parts aren’t exactly available and sitting in the shelf at the Honda dealership. After buying numerous bikes, they would piece together bikes to make one. But in practice the bike would fail and see Robin push the 85 CR 250 off the track… This wouldn’t stop Robin though as his mechanics helping would frantically try to put the bike back together. With motos starting the next day Robin would have to ride a 2007 CR 250 in the 2-Stroke class B/C class. Robin would show he could ride a newer bike also by winning a National Cham-pionship going 1-5-1 to take the win! The 85 CR 250 would get put back together for the 250 B class. Robin would struggle with bad starts, as the powerful 4 strokes pulled him off the line. Robin would fight and put in some stellar rides to finish up 11th overall on a bike older than him and everyone else in the class!

Our own Timmy Ferry made his return back to Loretta Lynns since he was an Amateur before going Pro. After a long and amazing career Timmy returned to his roots with his son Evan who was racing in the 50cc class. Racing in the Plus 25 and 35 classes with riders Robbie Reynard, Mike Sleeter, James Povolny, Scott Sheak, Keith Johnson and Mike Treadwell, it sounded like the starting line of a Pro National 10 years ago! Ferry would look unstoppable in the Plus 25 class on his Kawasaki by winning every moto easily. His battle would come in the Plus 35 class against an old teammate of Robbie Reynard. Reynard has always been known

Early May was 9th. Plus 45 class was won by Parker with Grewe second, Barry Carsten 3rd and May 4th.

The 51 (4-6) Special Limited class saw a couple young FL riders take to the track with Moon Gerrits and BTO/SIX12 RaceTech rider Jordan Ren-fro hunting for a National Championship. Gerrits would put in some great rides on his KTM going 6-2-2 to finish up 2nd overall to Daxton Bennick who won every moto. Renfro would be consistent going 5-5-5 for 4th overall! The top 50 rider was Jett Reynolds from Bakersfield, CA. The Cobra rider would win every moto in the 50 7-8 class easily over Hunter Yoder and Reed Cooper.

AIMEXPO INTERVIEW

tHe aiM expo is CoMing to orlando oCt 16-20 2013And wE ASk FLORidA’S ERicA PEREbijOnS AbOuT ThE ShOwFLMX: Erica Perebijnos, how are you and how is life?Erica: I’m great! I’ve been living in Southern California for the past few years and have managed to create a pretty good life for myself out here. I can’t complain.

FLMX: You and your family have been involved in MX for a very long time. Your brother raced, your Mom had a photography business and website, then you married an MX guy and moved to Cali! How long have you been involved and what’s your back story?Erica: Yeah we’ve been in the MX world for awhile - about 16 years. Paul and I started dating when I was 15 and would see each other at the races every weekend. We’ve been together ever since. Paul worked with BBMX when we were in Florida, and then we moved to California when he got the job with Pro Circuit. Now I’m working with AIMExpo, which is the new powersports trade and consumer show happening in Orlando this October.

FLMX: Paul is one of the top mechanics in the sport now, what are you doing now with your career?Erica: I’m the Marketing Coordinator for AIMExpo, powersports’ first trade, media and consumer event in the United States. This is our inau-gural year, and the whole team here has been working extremely hard to make sure it’s a success.

FLMX: You are involved with the AIMExpo coming to Orlando. What is the Expo all about?Erica: It’s really an event like no other in the United States. It’s based on the European EICMA model, and is an answer to what the entire industry has been asking for. We’re bringing together powersports trade, media and consumers in one place, at one time, in an effort to revital-ize and excite the industry. I think what’s most impressive is AIMExpo’s OEM participation. We’ve got Suzuki, Yamaha, EBR, KYMCO, and Mas-simo (to name a few) making a big presence by revealing 2014 product

to their dealer bodies, media and consumers. It’s actually kind of cool that we’re inviting consumers to attend – it’s almost like they’re getting a behind the scenes view of the inner workings of the industry.

FLMX: What all is AIMExpo going to offer and can anyone attend?Erica: Anyone can attend! AIMExpo is open to trade, media and consumers, and there’s going to be a lot going on during all five days. We’ve got over 350 exhibitors showcasing every type of powersports product imaginable, AIMExpo Outdoors will host outdoor demos, a learn-to-ride course and the AIMExpo Adventure Challenge course, celebrities, product reveals, educational programs, and a ton more.

FLMX: What are the dates and when would be the best day to go?Erica: October 16-20 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. October 16 through the first part of the 18th is for trade and media only, and the rest of the show is for trade, media and consumers. We have a lot going on during all 5 days, so every day is a great day to go.

FLMX: Where and how can people find out more information?Erica: You can purchase tickets, look at our list of exhibitors, learn about our education component and get all the info you need at our website - www.AIMExpoUSA.com - or you can call us at 855-MC-SHOWS. Info is updated and new exhibitors are added every day.

FLMX: Are you and Paul going to stay in Cali forever? You need to come back to FL! Erica: We miss Florida, but it’s likely we’ll be in California for awhile. Especially if AIMExpo does as well as we think it will.

FLMX: Thanks for the interview, is there anything else you would like to add or parting words?Erica: I really hope everyone can make it out to AIMExpo in October!
