    Biltwell 100: FYI

    Succinct film from our friends in Temecula sharing details on their upcoming Biltwell 100 desert race. Race entries sold out in 48 hours (we secured one for our correspondent, Ed Subias), but Biltwell know how to throw a party and camping is actively encouraged, so is desert exploration (within the state laws, and off the race course).

    DMOL Devitt Hooligan

    Despite the disruption of 2020, the US hooligan scene shows no sign of diminishing. There is a recognisable split between the RSD National Superhooligan series and the local scenes around the US. New hooligan bikes seem to be being built on a weekly basis. The recent Winter Throwdown race, organised in Florida by Cory Texter, had a massive entry of hooligans from as far away as Milwaukee. The UK and Euro hooligan scene is smaller, but still offers up some high class racing an

    Krowdrace, the fledgling German dirt track race championship, was the one of the few series anywhere in the world to make anything like a season happen in 2020. They were rightly proud to announce that a total of 112 riders from 11 countries travelled up to 2000km (1300 miles) to the north of Germany to take part in their wholly amateur series. The organisers chose tracks in areas with low Corona numbers, the three being Wolfslake, Parchim and Nordhastedt, a mixture of speedw

    Brazilian Flat Track

    Amateur flat track is spreading around the world, from Russia to Japan, Argentina to India, and now Brazil. We were contacted by Gabriela Hoover who shared news on an event coming up in Brazil, that Jeffrey Carver is a part of. Here's what she tells us. It's not a secret that Covid-19 had 2020 pretty much canceled all over, affecting some of the major events in the USA and abroad, but has also brought people together and fired up new ways for connecting and exchanging ideas.

    Andy DiBrino: Hoolighana

    The film's title is a play on the title of the internet-breaking Ken Block Gymkhana/Hoonigan films, mixed with Andy DiBrino's own two National Superhooligan titles. It's also a big clue to the content. DiBrino mixes his bike skills with his newly developed car drifting skills in an energy drink-sponsored, six-minute screech-a-thon. The bike stuff fires me up more than the car stuff, especially the snail shell trail between to the pop cans, but it doesn't stop me wishing I cou

    Greenfield Practice Bikes

    A couple of weekends ago the DTRA ran two days of practice at Greenfield Dirt Track in Lincolnshire, UK. The classes were split and riders had to choose if they wanted to ride on Saturday or Sunday, social distancing meaning the numbers were limited. These are some of the most eye-catching bikes (and people) from the weekend. The first three photos are Lucky Luke (with his Sideburn x Biltwell goggles) and Harley WL flathead racer .

    Shedbuilt XG750 Hooligan

    Sideburn reader and DTRA racer Tim Newbrook tells us about his recently finished hooligan build. There I was, just a young lad looking at a new poster on my bedroom wall of a Harley Davidson in front of the big HD Logo, I can’t remember what bike it actually was, apart from the fact that it was orange and had wide bars, but I knew I wanted one . . even at 10 years old Fast forward 45 years and there I am again, looking at a picture of a Harley Davidson, the difference is this

    Maidstone Harley are selling the race-winning hooligan bike that Grant Martin came second in the 2018 DTRA Hooligan championship on. It's on eBay with a starting bid of £3000, but it says the reserve has not been met. I've never understood why the price doesn't start at the reserve, but then I've never sold anything on eBay so... This bike featured in a couple of Sideburn videos that you can see below. Harley Street 750 Hooligan Thanks to Kev for the tip-off. This is what the

    Founding Father - Jacopo Monti

    For me (Gary Inman, editor of Sideburn, if you haven't been concentrating), there are four keys figures in the European flat track racing scene that I always return to when I think of what set Sideburn on its path, and helped the growth and formation of the European flat track scene. This is purely my personal take and they have had very different roles, but I hold them in such high regard because of their style and commitment. There are people who have followed who have had

    Sportster Street Hooligan

    Sideburn reader Mark Loughlin, sent details of his recently finished street-legal hooligan. I'm kinda new to this bike building stuff, other than some tinkering on my GN250 brat (see below at the Malle Mile), this is my first attempt at a build. I met Charlie Stockwell at Lydden Hill Bike Shed Festival last year and loved the look of his hooligans. After a follow-up chat with him at Warrs London in November I decided to build one myself. I didn't even have a donor bike at tha

    So Cal Hooligan Scene Report

    Sideburn contributor Ed Subias sent this great hooligan update. Last Saturday, 1st February, some of the Californian hooligan racers came together at a race that was more of a low key test and tune session than a competition. The hooligans were a support race during the AMA National Pairs Speedway Championship at Perris Raceway. Sounds a little strange at first but paring the speedway and hooligan clans made perfect sense to me. Both groups are full of interesting characters
