Riot Racing chief mechanic working to walk again

One of the biggest UNLV boosters I’ve known was an old Marine named Bob Snyder. He became a friend. He became a friend of the old baseball manager Dick Williams, too. We’d meet on Thursday for lunch with some other old baseball guys. But then Dick died, and then last September, I guess it was, Bob died, too.

Villopoto riding wave of Supercross success

Lightning strike gives Abbott new perspective

Which can happen just about any day in Flagstaff during monsoon season.
