NEWS: Killy Rusk sx from chad guin on Vimeo. Nov 2011: Killy RuskRusk will be lining up at Anahiem 1 ready aboard his Honda. Team announcement coming soon. July 2011: Killy Rusk Leaves AG Motorsports Team After this weekend at Spring Creek, I have officially discontinued any and all relations with AG Motorsports. This decision did not come lightly and is one that I wish I did not have to make. It was decided that it was in my best interest to move on and seek a healthy environment to pursue my dreams. I have a great support system with my family, agent, trainer and sponsors I would not be here without all them. I am 100% confidant in my abilities and my new program. I believe everyone in this new program has my best at heart. As these new plans start to take shape, I have decided to take the next several weeks off to regroup, and get used to my new Honda CRF250 and will rejoin the AMA Pro Nationals at the final round in Pala, CA. I would like to thank all my sponsors Dragon Racing Fuels, Fly Racing, EVS, PR2, Rocket Exhaust, No Toil, Leatt, TCX Boots, Utopia Optics, GoPro, LeoVince, No Limit MX and Allen Picard for supporting me in this decision and I look forward to the working with everyone for years to come. May 2011: After a couple weeks of being on the road and racing both Hangtown and Freestone Killy sits 21st in points. Mechanical problems  have
plague
the
opening
rounds.
A
hole
in
the
clutch
cable
caused
problems
for
Hangtown.
This
caused
the
clutch
to
go
out
in
the first moto. We got it fixed but had the adjustment
wrong for the second moto which caused some serious clutch
slippage. Chalk that up to dad mechanic. Freestone started
off
a little rough. The first moto Killy got stuck in a first turn pile up
leaving him in 39th coming around corner number 2. He put his
head down was up to 20th by lap two or three. He continued on and
made passes every lap and ended up with a 13th as the checkers
flew. Moto 2 was looking pretty good as he had a better start mid
pack. He worked his way up to 18th then his motor cut out causing
him to go down over the back table top. He tried restarting but
the bike would only go 5 feet and die. So he parked it next to a
tree and headed back to the pit via a fans golf cart. Just like
when he was on 50's dad went and found the bike. Somethings never
change.Oct 8 2010: The number 60. After a long season Killy Rusk earn the national number of 60. A big accomplishment for the first year professional racer. Things are looking bright for Killy and he will begin training for the supercross season shortly. Look for the number 60 racing in the 250cc lites class at a supercross near you. Thanks again to all our loyal customers for helping him get this far.

All in all a great weekend, although the first moto had some issues. The second or third lap in his goggle lens got knocked out by a rock! So he rode a lap without goggles then I was able to get him in and get a new pair on him. But this sent him back to dead last with about 10 seconds just to get up to the last place guy. Argh! Once he got going he started clicking off laps and his laps times got better and better. Putting in his fastest lap with only 3 laps to go. Pourcel got around him so I put out a pit board that said "latch on". He read it and actually did it! He stayed with Pourcel the rest of the race and just starting chugging up thru. Second place was behind him and I know he did not want to get lapped by him so he put his head down and stayed with Pourcel right up to end. You even see him almost cross the finished line with Pourcel at the end (of course Pourcel was in cruz mode). I think he wanted his lap back. But luckily the Moto was over because I sure his fuel would not have made another lap. Moto two was good he stayed in about the same spot the whole way. bounced between 17 and 16 the whole time. Tried to catch and pass Lemoine for the 15th spot but was not able to make that stick. 18th overall. Got points, guaranteed entry for the rest of the season and hopefully a 2 digit number by supercross season. Skipping the next two rounds and will head to Denver next. True privateer, just a dad and son out racing. 5/21/2010 Hangtown Sacramento, CA: All in all not a bad day. Killy Qualified for the main which was all we were really going for. He laid down some good lap times in the qualifying. He needs get a couple of seconds faster to get a better start gate. I think once his nerves settle that will come. Moto-wise good start gate and good jump on the line would be nice. Second moto he had a great jump on Morias but Anstie came over and bump him which sent him staight toward the inside hey bales. Killy however was determined and never let off and it sent him flying. He got up with a missing front fender and was going to get going again but his front number plate was dangling. When he got to me they had red flagged the race. So I had to run out on the track find his fender bolt it back on for the second start. I do think that most riders would have called it a day right there. But he did not give up and was determined to give it another go. The second start almost did exactly the same thing. This time he back off before hitting the bales and ended up with last place start. He did work his way back up and was battling with Borkenhagen, Les Smith and Nicoletti. However his top shock bolt fell out on the lastlap and caused him to DNF. However, I'm told our bad gate pick got him some TV time. Things we learned: Start gate key wire shock bolt qualifying times are very key He's close just few things to work on. 5/5/2010: Finally back home in New Mexico. Out of the rat race of so cal!! Home for a few weeks freshening up and getting ready for  Killy's debut at
the 2010 AMA Pro Nationals. Killy got his new number from AMA Pro
Racing so we had to get all his bikes switched over. Weird
looking 185 on his bikes. Probably will take a little while
getting used to the new number. We will be heading back to CA in
around the 7th of May to train with some for the KTM guys and test some
suspension. Thanks to everyone for helping Killy live the dream. The Rusk Clan and night out on
the town in
Durango. 1/24/2010: We will be heading out on the road next week. Killy is all healed up from the crash at Day in the Dirt. We will be heading to Phoenix first to ride with Ted Campbell of LeoVince. We will then head to California to work with Brandon Beabout. We will be either staying at Perris Raceway or Milestone. Graphics will be shipped from these locations. Generally there is now delay in orders. Check our Twitter link for daily updates. 9/24/2009 Mia Report on Vurbmoto: click here for Vurb interview with Killy Rusk  8/1/09: Disaster stikes!!! After week of phenomenal riding Killy went down in the finals at Ponca. Killy was carrying first and seconds into his finals at Ponca City and was sitting really well for overall championship. Then the disaster hit. While on the fourth lap of finals he was making a pass for second when his rear wheel slid out just as he went up the face of the double after the over under tunnel. It had rained about 1/2 inch the night before and his race was first on the line in the morning. The track was pretty slick but everything was going good. He was making the pass just as he came out of the tunnel so he was going in a little faster then usual causing his rear wheel to break loose. The impact of the crash resulted in a broken wrist. Unfortunately Killy was not able to attend Loretta Lynn's a major bummer for this season. However the break did not require surgery and he should be back on the bike mid September. Here are the two links for his moto win videos: 250 schoolboy moto win 250 mod intermediate moto win Aztec, NM: A new company is now running the track in our hometown.
