This definitely beats a mascot riding a three-wheeler in circles at intermission


If you follow major league baseball you might recall an inspiring story from a few years ago in which retired Atlanta Braves player Chipper Jones made a daring rescue of a former teammate who had been stranded on an Atlanta freeway. Freddie Freeman had been stuck in gridlock due to severe weather for over five hours when Jones came to his rescue. To commemorate the event, the Atlanta Braves created a “Chipper rescues Freddie” bobblehead doll and will have them available at an upcoming Braves game. Way to be a team player, Chipper!

Chipper: ? “I can be your hero, Freddie.”? (probably)

Growing up in Oregon, most of Seth's involvement in the powersports world was limited to what he saw in magazines and videos. Following a brief stint in the corporate world, Seth took a flying leap (literally) and moved to California to pursue a career in freestyle motocross. Though short lived, the opportunity immersed him in the industry and is now a well-established off-road writer.
