Admittedly, I’m way behind schedule with this week’s Parting Shift. I was so deep in the soup that I enlisted the help of my pal and killer artist Stu Wotypka. Stu struck gold with this find from the infamous Rodeo Du Caminos truck drag races held in Canada. In one portion of the event the [...]

Both Chad and I believe that paddle tires are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Seriously, the idea of essentially building a tire with shovels grafted to it for performance at the sand drags, mud bogs, and dunes is pure genius of the highest gearhead order. This video is simply [...]
