Dr. Wicks the name and Chiropractic and Rehabilitation is game. Wick Chiropractic has been around the sport of Motocross from the day David started it, but not many know that David him self has a collection of some pretty rare bikes that some people would kill for. I was able to catch up with Wick last week and we totally took the bikes out of their dust collecting line and checked them out.

Wick you got the collection here, what is all in it?

1977 YZ 125, 1978 YZ 400, 1978 YZ 250, 1980 YZ250, 1981 YZ 465, 1983 YZ 490, 1978 MAICO 250, 1980 CR 250, 1986 CR 60, 1979 IT 250 for oldies.

New ones I have 2005 PW 50, 2006 CRF 50r, 2008 CRF 450r, and a few quads for the kids!

Wow, so which one would you say is your favorite?

That’s a toss-up… Like asking which of your kids is your favorite!

So what and why do you have all these bikes Wick?

Unfortunately, a divorce was the primary reason that I started restoring the bikes… Stress relief, I guess. Plus I always wanted some of these bikes as a kid!

You have one of the best set ups with this garage, house and bikes plan on selling them anytime soon haha?

No, the house I just finished, so it’s not for sale. But I’m always open to offers on the bikes! Visit www.Wickchiropractic.com for questions, comments or appointment information!

What can Wick Chiropractic do for an injured rider?

At Wick chiropractic, we offer many different types of therapies, from heat to the latest in cold laser therapy. The type of injury, age of the injury, age of the patient, areas of involvement all factor into developing a treatment plan. Over the years I have treated injuries from burns to broken necks. That type of experience allows a doctor to develop some treatment creativity! We strive for results quickly in the office.

You sure have the collection of Jersey’s on the wall at the office?

There are about 20 pro rider jerseys on the wall, along with about 15 local amateurs and buddies! Remember the 05 Phx Supercross? (I think it was 05) when McGrath holeshoted both his heat race and the main (with the nac-nac)? Guess who adjusted him before that race? He sent me a jersey! Justin Timberlake was a cool patient, too!

Pretty much every top pro from out of Arizona in the past 10 years has came through here?

Pros from Destry Abbott (one of my first patients, and a great guy. Brave too!) The blose brothers all the alphabetical way to Kelly Yancy have a spot on the pro wall! Motocross has been an important part of my personal and professional life. It’s nice to go to the track and have so many patients there! The bad side is bringing a table with me to the track. One time I had a line of people wanting to get adjusted all the way around my trailer.

Well David Thank You for letting us come over and mess up your garage and for the interview.

Anytime, haha! Now I just need to get these things back in place over here.

Here are a fews pictures, photo-gallery later today!

If you haven’t met little Kyle Dearing yet, which pretty much everyone has, as he makes his presence known on and off the track. Kyle is taking a step back this year from being so serious with all the sponsors and the racing drama to see if it will help him take off the stress. So far it seems to be working as he is leading the series in all of his classes in the CMC Copperstate Classic. We were able to catch up with Kyle for an interview and this is what we were able to get out of him.

So give me a rundown?
My name is Kyle Dearing, I’m 10 years old, my number is 99, and I live in Litchfield Park, Arizona.

What classes do you ride?
I ride 65 10-11 mod and stock.

Have you hit up any nationals this year?
Yes, we did World Mini and Amateur Open.

How did that go?
In my run offs I finished 15th in 65 10-11 Stock, 18th 65 10-11 Mod, and 21st 65 Open at World Mini. I took a 6th and 9th at Amateur Open.

Do you plan on doing any more nationals?
I wish I could, but right now it just doesn’t look like we will be able to.

So how has the series been so far?
Pretty good. I’m leading all my classes and I hope to take the overall tonight.

What are your plans to do with your prizes when you win?
I hope I win two bicycles so I can go trade them in for one really good one.

So it sounds like you have it all figured out?
Yup!

What if they don’t give you a bicycle and its something else?
I don’t know what I’ll do, but I know I would be really bummed!

Thanks Kyle for the interview, anything you would like to thank?
I want to thank my Mom and Dad; they do so much for me along with my Grandpa. He helps me with everything too. Bill Shugg, Dearing Trucking, TSR Contracting, Bent Clothing, AZDirt.com, and all of my other sponsors that I can’t remember right now thank you so much.

The man behind it all is what his title reads for his photo, which serves him right. From having a long racing history and now being on both sides of the fence. Ryan has a lot of work to do from running Motoxriders.net to still making it to the line for his 25+ Pro moto, to provide for his family and spreading the word of God wherever he goes. At the last round of the CMC Copperstate I was able to talk with Motoxriders.net’s very own Ryan Mortensen. I was able to get him away from all of his duties he does on his weekend racing, so check it out. Words / Photos: AW

Hows everything going for you tonight?

Good, Real Good.

Hows the track shaping up for you?

It’s shaping up real good, except for me I’m a little tired. Out of shape a little bit.

Hows Motoxriders.net been?

Good, just been trying to hit up all the AZ tracks and spread God’s word.

I see you have a both set up?

Yes, the kids are digging it and hopefully have someone take home a bible back to their family and spread God’s word.

Do you ever want to take Motoxriders.net nationally?

No there are already enough organizations out there doing that, I really want to stay local AZ. I really like the local seen.

How long have you been doing Motoxriders.net?

3 Years now.

Not too many people know but you been around motocross for along time?

Since 1983 when I took home my first trophy, so I have been doing it for a little while.

Can you gives us a run down of what your career has been like in racing motocross?

Turned Pro in 1998 and stayed a local pro mainly since then. I tried some out door nationals and really found my spot in four stroke nationals for a while. I was able to earn national number 17 in 2000 for the four stroke nationals.

What’s your biggest accomplishment in life up to this point looking back on it all?

My beautiful Wife Larissa and my Son Luke.

How old are you now?

I turn 30 on May 26.

What Class are you running tonight?

25+ Pro, I’am just out here to have a fun time tonight and get a moto in.

Words to live by?

Do nothing for selfish reasons, but be humble and consider others better than yourself.

Can you give me a list of who you would like to thank?

First of course, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because he makes it all possible. I have a lot of support this year in my racing efforts, I would like to thank: Kawasaki Superstore, Answer Racing, Motoworks Racing Suspension, LeoVince, Scott USA, Amsoil, ASV, Factory Effex, SDG, Bridgestone, Regina Chains, Gaerne, Acerbis, Hinson, Works Connection, and HRP Sports.
