With perfect weather and race conditions, Jeremy and his team put together a winning performance holding off Ron McCachren and Brian Deegan in the final laps. “Big thanks to everyone, you guys have been great for me, and I’ve wanted to put this ‘W’ up for a while so thank you,” said McGrath.

Amber Mort’s stock car dreams were fully-realized as she sat shotgun in Dale Jr.’s No. 88 National Guard Chevy
Impala. Amber won the SPY Win-A-Spin with Dale Jr. grand-prize, it was Oct. 17, 2011, and this was really happening.
As Dale Jr. ripped out of pit row at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and into turn one, Amber’s nervousness
transformed into pure excitement.
“This is awesome! You can feel the rumble of the engine and the sounds from the car… oh boy!” Amber said with a
nervous chuckle and as the first of three blazing laps rushed to a close. “I’ve never gone so fast in my life!”
As any NASCAR fan can attest, the next best thing to watching her favorite driver hurling around the track is being in
the car while it’s happening. Dale Earnhardt Jr. super-fan Amber is a living testament to this not-so-simple fact. One
near-200 mph trip with Dale Earnhardt Jr. lived-up to every bit of the hype and forever endeared Charlotte in the
heart of the Californian.

Tyler Bowers airs it out on the way to victory in the SPY Klutch Throwback Blue
Defending AMA Arenacross Champion Tyler Bowers inaugurated his 2011/2012 season with a win at the Arenacross
opener on October 29 in Des Moines, Iowa, at the Fargo Arena. The California-born Kentuckian took advantage of
carnage mid-moto, sling-shotting past a Chad Johnson/Zach Ames crash to take the No. 1 spot, which he defended
relentlessly through the final laps. Teammate and 2010 Arenacross Champion Josh Demuth finished second. Bowers
will look to back-up his top-of-the-podium finish in the Cheese State at Arenacross Madison, Nov. 11 to Nov. 13, 2011.

John John Florence stoked on Supertubos from O’Neill on Vimeo .
The WCT stopped in Portugal last week, Peniche did its best Backdoor impersonation and John John Florence slotted-
in accordingly. Weaving through heaving 4-to-6-foot cylinders, he pulled a 9-point ride en route to dismantling tour
veteran Ace Buchan with a 19.53 Round 2 heat total. Next, the Hawaiian threw cold water on red-hot Owen Wright’s
world title campaign in Round 3 with another 9 point ride. John John advanced, but came up .38 points short in the
round before the quarters after a heat-ending exchange with Bede Durbidge. John John finished equal 9th for the
event, his best finish yet on this, his freshman year on the WCT. Next-up is the O’Neill Coldwater Classic, Oct. 26 to Oct.
31, followed up by the Rip Curl Search Somewhere in San Francisco, Nov. 1 to Nov. 12.

Outside Magazine’s Winter 2011-2012 Buyer’s Guide features Outside’s new favorite go-fast glasses, the SPY Quanta , and the new SPY Platoon Special Ops snow goggle. Check out a preview of the issue below.
SPY Platoon Special Ops : Oversize goggles like the Platoon are stylish these days. They also happen to work well: the field of vision is massive, and the flexible frame wraps the face nicely, offering a but more protection from wind and cold.
SPY Quanta: There’s nothing wrong with wearing sunglasses that scream I own a carbon-fiber road bike . But it’s also nice to get all the same features–fog-preventing vents, a secure fit, and big-time coverage–on a pair that doesn’t scream I own a carbon-fiber road bike . Thank you, SPY. The Quantas are our new favorite go-fast glasses.
