Dylan Peterson has been a motocross privateer all his life. Working a full time job as a 1st year apprentice electrician, he works hard to find time for training and racing, following his dreams to hopefully one day make a living out of the sport he loves.

In 2012 his opportunity has finally come, and after Monster Kawasaki team rider Billy Mackenzie had to pull out of the 2012 season due to injury, Dylan got the call up. He now finds himself riding with the support of the prestigious Monster Energy Kawasaki race team.

Unit's up-and-coming FMX shredder Matty Lewis has ben busy as of late, filming video parts, riding shows and preparing for his part on the 2012 Nitro Circus Live tour. We hooked up with Matty recently after seeing some serious potential.

The crew from Aussie Adrenaline sent over a few screenshots from Matty's most recent film shoot for the new film 'Choose Your Fate'. Matty has been progressing so fast, and with super flips as stylish as this, we don't think it will be long before you see alot more of the young Melbourne rider.

Up next for Matty is the Nitro Circus Live Tour around Australia, where he will be sending himself down the gigant-a-ramp on anything and everything with wheels, so make sure you keep an eye out for him there.

His team mate and defending four-time champion Jay Marmont proved he’s already gaining momentum and shrugging off a pre-season knee injury, scoring a 4th place overall, and just 2 points shy of 2nd place. This result now puts Jay in a solid 3rd place in the series.

We are stoked to announce that Unit's newest team rider Josh Grant has just had the ride of his life to stomp 2nd place at the New Orleans round of the AMA Supercross, right behind 2012 series champion Ryan Villopoto.

Grant is fresh off injury, and after a few hard years, team changes and the birth of his son, Grant has a fresh outlook on racing, and a new motivation to succeed. We would like to congratulate Josh, his family and team on the result, and hope there is many more to come!

In other Unit team news from New Orleans, up and coming privateer Austin Politelli scored his best result ever with a 9th place in the main event, and Kyle Chisholm also scored one of his best results for 2012 with an 8th place overall.

For more about Josh's story, check out his full profile HERE, as well as his new Unit video below...
