2012 NORA Cup Awards
Two things that Garrett Reynolds, Drew Bezanson, Mike “Hucker” Clark, Dave Thompson, Sam Willoughby, Yohei Uchino, and Killjoy’s Shawn “Elf” Walters and Jordan Utley all have in common is that they killed it this year and they’re all proud owners of 2012 NORA Cups.
Twisting Throttles
“A fast and furious ride from Seattle to South Dakota on two-wheeled freedom machines.” Sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Chad Kagy does the shredding and Keith Mulligan captures it all on black and white film.
Haro In Japan
With a crew like Dennis Enarson, Ryan Nyquist, Pat Casey, Cory Nastazio, Colin Mackay, Ronnie Napolitan, Dennis McCoy, and Seth Klinger, you can have a great time anywhere—especially in Japan.
