Despite having a broken, plated and pinned hand for the last half of the season, Josh Hansen finished an amazing Supercross season in 3rd place behind Eli Tomac and teammate Broc Tickle. Racing an incredible first half of the season, Josh was faced with racing with a broken hand that would have taken most people out of the season. Fighting through the perpetual pain, Josh maintained an amazing 3rd place finish for the 2011 Lites West season.

We are PROUD of you Josh and can’t wait for 2012 when you are healthy.

Casey Loza, co-star of the VH1 show “Audrina,” has been tapped to design a capsule collection for swimwear company Le Doux. Casey’s sense of style ranges from elegant and feminine to edgy and rock n’ roll and that is what caught the eye of Le Doux designer Juliana Renz.

The two will work closely together to do a small 4 piece collection which will be launched in early summer 2011. The capsule will be available exclusively online and in a handful of select boutiques.

RPRT’s Kyle and Casey Loza appeared on the premiere episode of VH1’s new show “Audrina.” Casey is Audrina Patridge’s sister and agreed to be on the show to support her. Kyle appears sporadically throughout the season but Casey has a major role in the drama that will unfold.

Watch Audrina on VH1 Sunday’s 9/8 Central.
