About

On the mindset and strategy behind motocross success.

Table Over Two explores what drives success in Supercross and motocross. This isn't a platform for rehashing race results or surface-level commentary; it's about diving deeper into the pivotal moments, strategic decisions, and emotional battles that shape performance on the track and throughout a season.

Each article delivers fresh, analytical insights for fans who live and breathe motocross. Focusing on rider psychology, racecraft, and the broader dynamics of the industry, Table Over Two picks up where race day leaves off, offering the depth that dedicated fans seek.

About Me

I'm Aaron Durant, the writer behind Table Over Two and a lifelong motocross fan. I first started racing motocross at age 5. After more than a decade away from the sport, I returned in 2022 with a renewed drive to push my limits as a rider and a passion for understanding what separates the best from the rest.

In 2023, I gained my first motocross media experience writing for MotoOnline, reporting on-site at the Indianapolis and Detroit Supercross rounds as well as the RedBud Pro Motocross event.

My background in motorsports media also includes co-founding The Apex, where I published over 1,500 articles and covered more than three dozen major events across North America with media accreditation. That experience sharpened my ability to deliver thoughtful, high-quality analysis.

Table Over Two is my space to share meaningful insights about Supercross and motocross, blending my experience as a racer, writer, and fan for those who love the sport as much as I do.

How Table Over Two Stands Out

Motocross media often stops at the surface, but Table Over Two is different. Here, you'll find:

  • Depth: Each article goes beyond the headlines, unpacking the pivotal moments and strategies that matter.
  • Perspective: A unique blend of personal observations and professional analysis.
  • Relevance: Content tailored for fans who already know the results but want deeper insight and connection to the sport.

Colophon

Table Over Two is crafted with tools that embody simplicity, performance, and creativity:

  • Framework: Built with Next.js, leveraging React to deliver fast, dynamic web experiences.
  • Design: Styled with Tailwind CSS for clean, responsive layouts, featuring seamless light and dark modes and thematic accents inspired by seven factory Supercross/motocross teams.
  • Hosting: The front-end is deployed on Vercel with continuous integration, ensuring updates upon every GitHub commit. The Ghost CMS back-end is hosted on DigitalOcean for scalability and performance.
  • Typography: The site features Inter, a modern sans-serif font, supported by a robust system stack for consistency across devices.
  • Icons and Graphics: User interface elements are powered by Heroicons, with additional accents from FontAwesome. Images are optimized in Pixelmator Pro to complement and enrich every article.
  • Software Tools: Crafted in Nova on macOS, with every step tracked and versioned via GitHub.
  • Inspiration: The thoughtful design of kottke.org inspired the aesthetic, evolving Table Over Two from a blank canvas into the polished site it is today.

This site reflects a belief in thoughtful, quality-driven content and the joy of creating something meaningful for motocross enthusiasts.

What's Next

Table Over Two is just beginning, but the vision is clear: providing more profound, meaningful insights into Supercross and motocross. Each week, I'll share articles that go beyond the headlines, exploring the moments and decisions that define motocross.

This platform is as much about the journey as the destination. I'm committed to growing and refining Table Over Two, creating content that resonates with fans who share my passion.
