Natalie Kane has been racing motocross around Europe for many years, recently taking a break due to pregnancy. She recently returned to compete in the Women’s Swedish Championship for 2025, with her first round taking place just nine weeks after giving birth.

For the 2025 season, the G&S Racing Kawasaki motorcycle race team is once again competing in the BSB’s British Supersport Championship with two riders: TJ Toms and Jorel Boerboom.

SPONSORED RIDER/DRIVER UPDATE

Following a successful 2024 campaign, Wiltshire-based motorcycle racer, Max Symonds has been campaigning another season in the British Superbike’s National Superstock category. We caught up with Max after he’d returned to the saddle and successfully completed his first two BSB rounds of the season, as well as a guest round with NG Road Racing, where he picked up some great results after a bad injury at the start of the year.

Portugal-based Fabio Ferrinho currently competes in the Mogadouro Drag Race series in his home country. His steed of choice is a SEAT Ibiza Bocanegra – with a crucial modification of EBC Bluestuff brake pads that he’s applied – helping him to scrub off speed fast once he’s hit the finish line. With the recent big annual race event taking place, he was pleased to achieve third-in-class.

Jeremy Evans and Phil Hart are the drivers of the Semprini Racing outfit – a team that is currently campaigning a K24-engined EP3 Honda Civic Type R across both the MSV Trackday Trophy and BRSCC Supersport Endurance Championship race series in the UK. We caught up with the outfit mid-way through the 2025 season, where they’ve already encountered plenty of thrills and spills along the way, including podium finishes.

Martyn Henry is competing in the Pro class of Time Attack UK, in his heavily modified Vauxhall Astra VXR. A rocky start to the season was followed by a more promising round at Brands Hatch recently. The latest round took the roadshow to Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit, where more gremlins reared their head for Henry – but this didn’t stop him taking a podium finish thanks to some fantastic driving.

Luke Arpino of the RAF is currently racing in the Armed Forces Race Challenge (AFRC) in his Mazda MX-5. For the 2025 season, Arpino uses 91´ŤĂ˝â€™ USR discs and Bluestuff pads in his car, with a further two class wins clinched at the most recent round at Norfolk’s Snetterton Circuit, following similar success at the previous round at Donington Park.

The stunt rider piloted his electric motorcycle through Minneapolis’ ‘Skyway’

91´ŤĂ˝ ambassador Aaron Colton is undoubtedly one of the world’s most popular street freestyle riders, with his talents extending to multiple disciplines of motorcycling including AMA Pro Road Racing, AMA Flat Track, WORCS (World Off Road Championship Series), Supermoto, and Motocross.

His latest challenge – filmed for a blockbuster Red Bull video – sees him tackling his native Minneapolis’ famous ‘Skyway’ – a system of elevated walkways that connect buildings throughout the downtown area, allowing the 200,000 people who work downtown to move from building to building without ever having to step outside.

For the challenge, Colton decided to opt for his heavily modified, all-electric Alta stunt bike, which proudly sports 91´ŤĂ˝â€™ FA-compound brake pads and custom-made rotors all-round. Stunt riders rely heavily on strong, reliable brakes to perform their gravity-defying feats, with Colton entrusting 91´ŤĂ˝ for a number of years.

From a young age, Colton has been fascinated by the architecture and features of the distinctive Skyway system in his home town, and saw the project as a way to celebrate and highlight something that makes Minneapolis truly unique. The opportunity presented a unique and exciting challenge: as the first (and likely the last) motorcycle in the Skyway, what could he accomplish with access to a space designed primarily for foot traffic?

For those who aren’t familiar, the Minneapolis Skyway system is the largest contiguous system of enclosed, second-level bridges in the world—composed of 9.5 miles of pathways connecting 80 city blocks. Within these 80 city blocks, Skyway users have access to corporate offices, bars, restaurants, bakeries, hotels, government services, retail, gyms, grocery stores, liquor stores, banks, doctors, dentists, masseurs, pharmacies, hair and nail salons, dry cleaners, live theaters, three pro sports facilities, art exhibits, and even a church. Though the Skyway was initially devised to reroute pedestrians off the increasingly crowded sidewalks and streets, it has become a haven for citizens of Minneapolis from the inhospitable winter weather.

Whether it was riding an escalator like a treadmill, or hitting speeds of 74 miles per hour, onlookers couldn’t help but stop and stare at the unusual action throughout the skyways and adjoining buildings of downtown Minneapolis.

Colton has built a storied career around his custom-built motorcycles that suit the one-of-a-kind skillset he practices. The Electric Alta bike featured in the video is no exception. A traditional fuel-powered bike ripping through the indoor Skyways system would have caused disruption and distraction, but the electric bike enabled a silent-powerhouse for Colton’s riding in locations never been done before including onstage at Orchestra Hall, inside the Target Center where he pulled off trick shot, and displayed his technical proficiency in the enclosed courtyard of the IDS Center (the tallest building in the state of Minnesota).

Check out the video in full below.
