THE PENTON MOVIE
A
fter nearly six years, the public can see a sneak peak of the film "PENTON: The John Penton Story"
with the newly released trailer featuring John Penton, his hall of fame family and a few of the motor-
cycle industry legends who were interviewed for the film.
The nearly four-minute trailer teases the en-
tire film and specific stories the audience will
get to see in the final film when it opens in
theatres on June 20.
"It's great to finally show the industry and all
the people who supported this project a little
sneak peak at what we have been working
on for so long," said Todd Huffman, the film's
director and producer at Pipeline Digital Me-
dia (PDM). "We hope this gives a little insight
on what an important story and family this is
when the film is released in June."
PEICK JOINS RCH SUZUKI, HILL OUT
T
he Soaring Eagle/RCH Suzuki Team has an-
nounced that privateer Weston Peick will be
joining the squad for the upcoming outdoor Lu-
cas Oil AMA Motocross Championship, and that it
won't be picking up its option with the team's cur-
rent Supercross rider Josh Hill.
According to team manager Kenny Watson, Hill
has a Supercross-only deal with the team. There
was an outdoor option, but the team opted not to
extend its obligation with Hill for the outdoors.
"There were no hard feelings and it was nothing
personal," said Watson. "He just didn't have a deal
for outdoors and we decided not to exercise his
option."
There is also the rumor that the team has hired
Ivan Tedesco to ride the outdoor series until Broc
Tickle returns from injury, which Watson says will
be no sooner than midsummer - halfway into the
outdoor schedule. Watson wouldn't confirm or
deny the Tedesco rumor but said that the team
would issue a press release shortly, revealing its
plans for outdoors.
An even bigger rumor as of late involving the
team concerns current Red Bull KTM Team rider
Ken Roczen. Unconfirmed reports have it that the
RCH team is very much interested in the former
Suzuki rider who broke onto the GP scene riding
yellow. The German won the MX2 World Champi-
onship in 2011.
Weston Peick
has landed a
solid job on
the Soaring
Eagle/RCH
Suzuki team for
the upcoming
outdoor
Nationals.
