The whole point of RV going there is for a change in scenery from the usual US SX/MX tour as stated in RV's interview on Transworld. No need to click on the any MXlarge links either given the BS that guy has posted here in the past.

it's one thing to post a link directly to the interview on the NZ site (thank you for posting the actual link btw), it's another to rope people into looking at that website that had nothing to do with the interview besides knowing how to cut-paste, hence stealing the traffic from the NZ site.

First time I "met" Townley Bro

MXoN 2007 Budds Creek. It was the Friday night before Saturday's practice, and I had some sick Bro'd out VIP treatment in one of the Red Bull RV's for the weekend.
So, my buddy and I were just hanging in the Red Bull area with all the racer RV's all around us. All the sudden we hear some crowd of Brits wearing speedo's and flying the Union Jack as a cape. The Brits were screaming, and revving one of those "Chainless Chainsaws". I was all amped up to follow this crew of madness through the pits, so off I went.

Anyway, we roll up to Reed's RV, they bang on his door, and Chad and Ellie open the door to all of us screaming, cheering, and of course revving that chainsaw at him, Chad and Ellie started cracking up but quickly shut the door, and turned off the lights.

Soon as Reed's RV door shut, the chainsaw wielding Brit spots Townley coming out of another RV, and he sprints over to Townley with the chainsaw revving wide fuckin open in BT's face! Townley starts running, and jumps into his UTV, jammed it in reverse by accident, with a huge look of fear on his face, then jams it in forward, and takes off. We all just yelled for him as he took off waving his arms! It is the funniest memory I have from any professional race. Wish you's guys could of seen Townley's face.

Sorry for the story Bro's

Townley is a smart guy.

I'm sure that the author of that interview had the best of intentions, but that interview had almost nothing new or novel to add at all. I'm not really sure what the purpose of the interview even was. Usually you'd want to provide something new or at least no well known, but the only thing that would qualify in this interview is the sharing of pictures of trout.

It wasn't a "bad" interview, it just really didn't tell anyone anything new.

Ummmm... It gave a professionals insight and thinking on the matter. Someone who has, first off, raced both the AMA nationals and the GPs, and was also RVs teammate. I thought it was better then us going back and forth on something we have no idea about or been in his position.
