Haven’t you noticed that when walking through the mall, checking out a dirt bike store, cruising the pits at Supercross or at a random break on a trail ride you usually have your cell phone in your hand and are doing something with it. Most likely that “something” is snapping pics and sharing them via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr. Well, here is another hot batch of photos that we’ve cooked up for you straight from our iPhones.

How many times have you heard one of your riding buddies state that “there’s no such thing as a perfect _____!” These blanket statements apply to riding gear, hard parts and just about anything else we dirt riders can bolt, stick, fasten or apply to our bikes and bodies. The general thinking is that there will always be something to improve upon, but not everyone buys into this unwritten rule. Case in point: Fox. When the top designers, engineers and product wizards at Fox set about designing a new boot, they didn’t just shoot for “almost perfect”, nor did they accept that a finished product had to be flawed. They spent countless hours designing, developing and testing various components, and after several years of gathering feedback from the top riders in the sport, they came up with a design that was as close to perfection as they could manage. Meet the Instinct boot.

Welcome to the Weekly Dirt, the place to go each week to get your off-road fix. With three Supercross rounds in the books, it’s starting to look like we’ve got a race on our hands. Three winners in three rounds is a great sign, not to mention three bike manufacturers on top of the podium as well: Kawasaki, KTM and now Honda. In the meantime, off-road racing kicked off this week, as well, with Hare Scrambles in the east and Hare and Hound in the west. Meanwhile, the opening round of the Rekluse/AMA National Enduro series is this coming Sunday in Sumter, South Carolina. So get ready for the Dirt, there’s a lot to cover.
